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.).

United KingdomEntrance is quite dark & access is through 1 gate, 1 main entrance & then door to your apartment- is not the easiest. Instructions are clear & we understood this makes good security. The gate to leave property was not explained in instructions, us & another couple struggled to get it open when going out & stairwell is dark in evening. I eventually found a button to open gate which made it easier. We found light switch for stairs too after looking around in the daytime. As the property has corner aspect , slight noise in morning from local traffic. Walls are thin, can hear next door apartment moving around in middle of night/ speaking/ dragging chairs.
Modern in a converted old palace. Unique & spacious. Great bathroom with 2 sinks, shower & bath. All modern. Tea making facilities & small fridge. Lots of wardrobe space. Great location, very near to main streets & sites, easy to walk around & come back to property if need & go out again. Bar underneath, popular, nice atmosphere but quiet enough & not heard from apartment.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have luggage racks. Our options we: on the sofa (then no where to sit), on the floor…. Or on the dining room table but then no where to eat. The bed sheets were not soft but the bed was ok.
The location is fantastic! In the center of the very small island with a 5-10 minute walk to most major sites (shorter walk to other sites). The street is pretty quiet but does have a fair bit of traffic. The apartment we had was spartan but really big and perfect for two people. The bathroom is enormous!! The Tapas Bar on the first level is beautiful (loads of people came in just to take a photo) so definitely take time to visit. The tapas and cocktails are delicious! The staff, especially Alessandro, are so welcoming!

NetherlandsA bit too much communication about house rules, fines, departure times. Furthermore, it is very noisy in the evening due to the wine bar on the ground floor and rubbish collection services. It only gets quiet around 1 am to erupt again around 6 am. But maybe that's part and parcel of a flat in the centre of a city.
A beautiful appartement in the middle of Ortigia. Modern, excellent beds and in terms of location a big ten. Superb bathroom and the view of the 17th-century courtyard is breathtaking. A perfect terrace to enjoy the sounds of the city and read a book in the evening.

United KingdomWe experienced confusion around our arrival. The issue being the owner has two properties on the same street and they list 72 and 33 on the website. Because access details are only shared immediately prior to arrival our taxi dropped us at the wrong one. Access description and codes did not match and communication was poor but we eventually sorted it out and after that we were good. The owners should make it clear on booking and access they have two units and which one you are booked into. Fortunately they are not too far apart.
The property is a converted former governmental building. It is centrally located and very spacious inside.
