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.).

LithuaniaCheck-in worked out well, but it seemed like host got a bit annoyed at us for not understanding the check-in instrcution completely. Instruction was good and made in videos but it was in italian (we speak english) so it was trickier than usual. Also room had strong odor of cleaning solution and shower head had a crack which sprinkled water
We loved the location and the view! It truly is awesome.

United KingdomGreat location, however, you would be advised to get there by car because the hill is steep and long. Facilities were good, we had the use of a roof terrace, a terrace outside the door to the apartment along with table, chairs, loungers and a pool. This place is great and I would be happy with go back there.

United KingdomCheck out was early at 10.00 and check in late at 15.00, which is annoying. However, we were offered use of pool and external shower both before check in (on arrival) and on check out which more than made up for this. I would suggest a sweep in the room would assist guests with kids. Drive down to the main road is precarious but the view from the property made it well worth it!
This property was superb, one of the best ever. In terms of design, mod-cons and facilities, a lot of care and attention had clearly gone into it. For example, both balcony doors had retractable mosquito nets, with black out blinds fitted outside, meaning the doors could be closed or opened independently (and were modern glazed doors); coffee machine was great, wet room great, living area and beds all great. Pool was fabulous. This property was immaculate too. An exceptional property, especially in Sicily where standards are not great. Our stay with 3 small kids was a joy.

DenmarkThe apartment was super with a very nice bathroom and beds. Even a great terrace all private for us. The kitchen was however not well equipped as it was missing vital elements such as a cutting board, a bottle opener and had only one pot. Our host has already made up for these things :o)
Great location. Our apartment was not ready for our arrival at 15.00 but it was not an issue as we could use the pool and just wait 30 min.

PolandWe only spent one night at the guesthouse. We would love to stay longer. The rooms are very clean, cozy and homey. The staff was friendly and we were given all the instructions we needed. You can enjoy the communal terrace at the very top and the swimming pool with an amazing view of Cefalù. More than that, each room has a private terrace. I must warn you that the drive up to the guesthouse is not the easiest but if you are already an experienced driver it won't be a problem :) The road is steep and tight but the mirrors were helpful. Highly recommended for lovers of beautiful views!

SwitzerlandThere are 2-3 small things on the equipment of the rooms which needs to be changed, but otherwise it's charming because of it's location. You have to be fit walking up to the l'arca Residence. Otherwise the Taxi costs 15 € (but still worth it than to rent for this a moto or car).
Fantastic view from the balcony over the city & see. The host were kind l, answering to our questions about local transport posibilities, , we asked for an extra blanket & umbrella and thy provided it right away. Downwards walking to the city is confortable.

New ZealandThe place is very basic and rooms received very little natural light. Couldn't park in the designated parking area at check-in despite being told we could. Wi-Fi worked for about 2% of the trip. When complaining to the host about this, we were literally just responded to with what the password was and no other remedy. Finally, we had someone try to enter the building in the middle of the night. While they didn't get in, and could have just been someone confused with where their building was, the door lock was fairly flimsy and didn't reassure confidence in security.
View from on top of the hill is impressive, just make sure you have a car as it is a very steep drive up a windy road. The pool was enjoyable.
