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 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 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.).

MaltaThere are various noises from the street such as people chatting and cars/trucks passing by, even though we weren’t bothered from this. Even though overall it’s clean, this could also be improved. Some things such as the toilet seat and tiles can be fixed to improve the experience in this apartment.
This studio is situated in the heart of the city center around 15mins away on foot from the train station. Various shops, cafes and restaurants in the area. We felt safe in the area of this apartment. The studio is equipped with what you need and overall comfortable. The host contacted us through whatsapp and she indicated how to enter the building and get the keys from a safebox. She was kind to let us check out an hour later too.

United KingdomThe one disadvantage of being so central is the noise. In our case we were usually so tired from exploring Bologna that we slept through it. Maybe more of a problem in summer with open windows but this is a big, busy city
It's all about location. Just a few minutes from all the sights, places to eat, drink coffee or shop. The flat has the necessaries and is comfortable, an ideal place to chill out between trips out. We arrived very late due to a late flight and missed connection. Our host waited up to let us in so we could finally relax

SpainThe noise is at an insane level because of where you are so it's a double-edged sword. You can hear every footstep at night and late-night partyers talking loudly. If you're a light sleeper like me, it's something to consider. It was also off-putting that the hostess took every opportunity to tell me to leave the money on the table before departure no matter what I asked about. There was no need as I'm not a child.
The location is excellent, right in the middle of everything and it was a nice touch to have some bottled water in the fridge. Very much appreciated. It's actually a teeny weeny bit better noise-wise at night to close the shutters but not lock them completely

AustraliaLocation of this apartment was amazing! Right on one of the best streets in Bologna, just on the edge of the old town full of restaurants and great shopping, also close enough to walk from the train station. Had a small issue finding the room but that was maybe a language barrier (we weren’t sure which floor the room was on) but the host was very responsive so thanks to that we cleared it up quickly! Room was perfect for one night, there was some facilities like kettle and coffee machine but we couldn’t find any cups to drink from? Overall was a great last minute stay, would definitely recommend for a few nights if you want to be close to the main sights of the city!

GreeceWe were asked to pay extra for city tax with cash (I think it's like 3€ per night per person). This was not included in the initial price and was not clearly stated beforehand. Only at the end of an email with small letters it said "city tax is applicable". This apparently is a general tactic in most properties and not a peculiarity of this owner, but I find it wrong so I wanted to say it
The location is perfect, in the city centre with everything in walking distance. The appartment is nice and decent with everything you need for a few days. Nice bed, nice couch, fridge, clean towels and hot water. A great plus is that coffee and tea is provided.

United KingdomThe only thing I’d say is that the person managing it asked me to send her a message once I was at the door of the property so she could remotely let me in. That’s not ideal for people who don’t have internet in a foreign country. It could be only related to arriving on a Sunday, though
The flat is very pretty, well decorated and centrally located

GreeceThe only thing I would change in the room is the toilet seat which was a bit loose and unstable. Apart from this, I would definitely choose this apartment again
Excellent location, nice decoration, fully equipped kitchenette, warm and cosy. We asked for a cot for our baby to sleep in it and it was also very comfortable

United KingdomStudio was a bit dark and also noisy. Lots of people noise until about 2 or 3am and heavy buses on the cobbles echoed through the flat from early morning. The price you pay for being central and on the via indipendenza. Wasn't a problem for me as I sleep through most things, my wife was affected more. The listing didn't mention city tax so I had to run out and get cash on the last morning.
Excellent location. Close to central Bologna, only a few minutes walk from Piazza Maggiore and the Asinelli tower. Lots of bars and restaurants close by. Well equipped kitchen. Good shower. Comfortable bed. Easy check in.

FranceNot well cleaned (dust everywhere) and the heater was not on when we arrived so we couldn't take a shower because there wasn't hot water. I called the hostess and she just said that I have to turn it on and wait. Not even an apology. They also put just one roll of toilet paper. Would not hurt to put one extra roll for guests who are staying more than one day (and also paying for it) to avoid making you buy a pack of toilet paper just for one day.
Great location, well equipped and availability of a locker to store our luggage after check out. Coffee and tea disponible in the room.

MontenegroThere is not elevator for midfloor (betwen ground and first floor) Shower is terrible, you cant take a decent shower. Its noisy because apartment is looking on the main street and sound isolation is terrible. Also, for the people who come here for the first time, there is a portier (who will give you the key from the apartment) inside of the building and when you come there knock on the entrance door because ringing the ring will not help. Comunication with the host was terrible (she didnt reply to our messages)
Bed was comfortable. Location is central. Building is well secured and safe!
