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.).

PolandShower cabin is very small. FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT SILENCE - At night it's quite loud because there are restaurants kitchens at the same level and by night you might need ear plugs if you are not very tired. Also there is literally an intensive night (but very intresting) life under the balcony on the street - so mind that if you are looking for quiet place.
Owner was friendly and helpful. Clean and nice apartment, location very close to the main street and old town. Good wifi. Good sofa nad bed, good kitchen. You may leave your baggage for free until they close the bureau.

United StatesWe enjoyed our stay in The House very much. The apartment has large rooms, was clean, well kept, and convenient to everything. We especially enjoyed the balcony, perched above the many restaurants and bars in the area with the daily rhythm of Catanian life on full display! When it was time to sleep, the balcony doors proved to be an excellent sound barrier. Management office is available just downstairs from apartment if needed.

RomaniaThe apartment is located in the heart of Catania, in the historical center, near Via Etnea. It is a typical Sicilian house, very spacious and clean. Our host was very helpful with everything we needed, including the transfer from and to the airport and responded very promptly. We really enjoyed our stay in Sicily!

BulgariaThere was hot water all the time but I had to wait few seconds until it started cooling. Anyway I could say this was not embarrassing at all. There is tall dining table in the dining zone with tall bar chairs but I personally would prefer a standard dining table. As this si my personal preference, I don't think it is a defect.
Location is perfect, only few meters walking distance from Via Etnea (the main street of the city) but the winw of the bedroom looks to a small quite street and only few cars passed during my stay. There are many food shops, bars and restaurants nearby and the tourists that rented the House can choose between dining out and cooking at home on 4 gaz burners. I liked the interior design very much, it combines elements of an ancient living space - the ceilings are curved, there are old style pattern floor tiles on the floor combines with dark red wood parquet, arches of ancient raw stone masonry form alcoves in the bedroom, the kitchen/dining room amd even in the bathroom. I liked the combination between ancient looking floor tiles and dark red solid wood parket. The bedroom is large, the bed is bid enough and comfortable. The kitchen space is big enough and easy to work in. The kichen is well furnished with all kind of kitchenware, plates, cups, glasses and cutlary. I found the bathroom - shower cabin, sink, dish and bidet - very clean. Part of the wall is cut off and a seat under the shower is formed. The Internet access is provided by Super Fast WiFi home network which worked really good night and day. I definitely will book again The House and I strongly recommend this accommodation to all tourists staying in Catania.

AustraliaThe apartment was not to my standards, strong smell of cigarettes once we entered( we were all non smokers) so that was a put off. Owner did provide air freshener. Floors were dirty couldn’t walk barefoot after shower. shower head would spray water in every direction, if you had it up to high it would spray out of the shower and flood the floor and wet your dry clothes hanging on the rail. Could do with a washing machine stayed 5 days… 3 people 2 showers a day 1 towel per person ( owner did provide fresh towels after 3 days free of charge after I asked) so you can appreciate how much dirty clothes we had as way to hot and dirty to wear twice.
Location was excellent as everything we needed was walking distance and an easy walk. Restaurant all around the apartment which we loved, the noise on the streets below didn’t affect our stay or sleep.
