Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaWould be good if it had Wifi. Carrying luggage up the stairs could be a challenge with larger bags.
Location was fantastic. A little bit loud late at night but not too bad after long days out. Good to have a dishwasher and working shower. The apartment was well stocked with essentials and was very clean and a good amount of space

United KingdomThe guys who manage the apartment are nice guys and I am sure they do their best but the apartment itself was a huge disappointment. Finding the place was easy but obtaining the keys was challenging as the person we collected the keys from didn't have the volume on his phone turned on so couldn't hear us calling. He was very apologetic and friendly and these things happen. Once inside the apartment our jaws dropped. Cigarette burns on the floors and rugs, missing kitchen cabinet doors, no dressing table to store anything and get ready, dry hair, put on make-up etc, someone had left their clothes in the wardrobe, the bathroom shower screen leaked so the floor was soaked, the shower head was broken and hung down so you had to hold it by hand to shower, half used shower gel bottles, broken toilet seat that moved as you sat on it, no mirror in the bedroom, filthy smelly fridge, missing curtain in the lounge, a loud bar at the back that closed at midnight but proceeded to loudly move metal beer barrels or kegs until after 1am, a single hard pillow or dirty spare pillows squeezed in the wardrobe next to someone's clothes, broken bed cushions with filling hanging out. I think you now get the picture. They describe it as a "Luxury Piccadilly Apartment" and whilst it is in Piccadilly, it certainly isn't luxury or reasonable value for money.
It is well located in the heart of Piccadilly/Soho, but right next to a very loud bar so don't expect to sleep before 1am at the earliest. The helpful staff did allow us to store our case both before check in and after check out. The staff are lovely but the apartment is very tired and desperately needs some money spent on it. We will not be returning.

United KingdomApart from the fact that it was filthy dirty, with rumpled dirty bed linen and everything was grim, including the location right outside sex shops and massage shops, the “host” who was told twice with no replies through Booking.com, that we would be a late check in, bullied us from Birmingham through to London, constantly calling us and telling us to hurry up, putting us under immense pressure to get there, he then forced my son to hand over £25 directly to his personal bank account as his made up charge for our late check in otherwise we would be cast out onto the streets at 11pm at night in the middle of this awful area. Absolutely horrendous experience, and Booking.com have done absolutely nothing to help whatsoever.
Nothing it was absolutely awful, filthy dirty and forced to hand over more money.

United Kingdomon arrival at the property you realise it’s opposite an “adult” shop and surrounded by massage parlours (you wouldn’t realise before hand as the address before booking is only approximate) through the door you are greeted with a narrow dirty staircase to the 3 or 4 apartments, we were on the third floor with the bedroom directly above a very noisy beer garden. the whole apartment smelt very strongly of weed and was very bare, it looked clean inside until you looked a little closer but it did have clean bedding and towels. there was no toilet roll in the bathroom either unfortunately. the biggest issue was collecting our luggage that we had agreed to leave behind after check out and collect prior to out train home, when we returned to collect our bags the owner was uncontactable and later said he’d forgot all about it and that he was 20 mins away, eventually he arranged for a friend to let us in to collect our bags resulting in a 45 min delay and having to get a later train.
not a great deal…… the water was hot and the toilet flushed, it’s walking distance from the tube and that’s about it.

United KingdomThe shower head doesn't fit in the holder, its a simple thing to fix that would make a big difference. I reckon a t.v in the front lounge would have been great aswell, also some more kitchen supplies such as washing up cloth and teatales....but these are quite minor and didn't effect our overall experience. just little things that can would improve someones stay.
The location was excellent, the apartment waa very nice, and exactly what we needed. The kitchen was good.and everything worked, t.v had netflix and good channels, beds generally comfy.

PortugalPerhaps it would be good to have toilet supplies (shower gel…), and there is a bit noise if you are sleeping in the living room (if you are really tired you will not notice, and it is very quiet in the room).
A great apartment in the center of the city! good communication with the host and staff, with the extra bed prepared and check in 2 hours earlier.

FranceA/C, heater were off when I arrived, window was open. I have been unable to find the TV remote. A/C is new and efficient, but its fan triggers high speed in the middle of the night for no reason. Shower could be better. Picking up the keys could her been simpler. Would still stay again.

United KingdomAdvertised and sold as a luxury flat - it is not. The finish was poor and tired. It was dirty throughout including the common entrance hallway and stairs. There has been a leak at sometime destroying the bathroom door and frame. Toilet stained and seat loose First thing we did was to shop for cleaning products and wipes. Only two odd mugs supplied, no wine glasses, crockery chipped, forks bent. Didn't use oven, hob or microwave. No blind in the lounge area meant no privacy if third bed was being used and window lock broken/missing. No TV in the lounge..... Large TV in bedroom.

IsraelCommunication with the apartment owners is impossible, they respond with a serious delay or do not respond at all. We had to wait an hour until someone came to give us the keys to the apartment. We were promised that there was a hair dryer in the apartment and there was not. We asked for toilet paper except for the 2 rolls that were in the room and they only brought us on the last day. In addition, there is no air conditioner in the apartment, only a broken fan. The shower head in the shower was broken as well.
On the one hand, the location of the apartment is very central, but on the other hand, it is very noisy at night until late hours.

Contact prior to arrival was good and Davide was waiting to meet us with the keys. Apartment was as described and pictured, very clean and good facilities for our short 2 night stay. The two bathrooms was a selling point for us and added bonus of kitchen facilities. Location was central and within walking distance to everything.
