Each 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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

TaiwanSound insulation is very bad I happened to heard the room next door doing something, and I heard it clearly. The hot water is not hot Wooden doors are not very flexible Get up early and go out I am worried that the noise I make will affect others.
right in the city center Nice coffee It rained that day and the electronic code lock did not respond. Even if the call is processed

United KingdomThe apartment is 3* at best. I had v small single room next to the shared bathroom. Noise insulation within the building is non-existent. The combined shower&toilet is shared by 5 bedrooms so 9 people! Bed was OK at best. The one pillow was so knackered I used a rolled up coat under it. Access instructions were ambigous. Access codes in some emails were incorrect. Overall I guess I got what I paid for - it was cheap for a reason. :-(
Fantastic location - just off the main drag for residents & tourists. Loads of food & drink options. Close (5 mins walk) to Bus Stop 6 for airport transfers and excursions. City centre tourist attractions about 10 minutes walk. Kitchen arra useful too. Brilliant :-)

GermanyAnother toilet would be great, because there is only one bathroom with toilet available. There is also no hairdryer if you want to wash your hair it is difficult without a hairdryer, especially for women. I received an old email with an old code. I wrote to the person who gave me the email that I couldn't open the door with the code. Three hours later I received a response saying that I had received an old email. Luckily some woman was there and opened the door for us.
the location was great

United StatesThe code for the door was wonky it worked most of the time but when we returned to change our clothes from travel to theatre clothing the code wasn't working at all. Another guest was having the same issue. They called and management said they'd send someone out to fix it but it'd be at least 20 minutes. We forewent changing our clothes and the guest on the phone offered to message us the results. A few minutes later he texted that suddenly it was working fine. No other issues, but it was odd.
Nice sized room. I liked the sink in my room too brush teeth, etc. Spacious WC with plenty of hot water. Great downtown location. Close enough walk to everything downtown yet not loud in the morning! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything to make a nice meal for ourselves. Met a worker, very kind

United KingdomA single bathroom for all the rooms was a bit of a push but I only had to wait a short while once for access.
The location was perfect and it was surprisingly quiet considering the proximity of the busy areas of town. The room was very nice and comfortable. Self-check-in was simple and worked well.

United StatesThe owner mentioned parking was hard to find, and they are correct. Nothing against the house, just FYI. Like others have mentioned, it was pretty noisy. Someone even looked near the window that was open in the bathroom. I would close windows for privacy. The room also heats up very quickly, again not the end of the world, I woke up in the middle of the night and had to vent the room out.
Easy check in process, bathroom was clean, and nice storage for food in the fridge. Beds were comfy enough (pillows were not as good). Owner gave lots of instructions.
