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 KingdomThere was no provision for disabled facilities in the apartment, for example the shower was inaccessible to a man who is in a wheelchair as there was a step and no shower chair was available or hand holds to use for stability.
Staff were extremely helpful regarding the pushing of a disabled man in a wheelchair as the slope down to the restaurant and bar area from the outdoor pool was exceptionally steep and I could only describe this as a 'black run' in skiing terms! The 'bug killer' used by the cleaning staff was extremely good - no insects survived if they chose to enter!

KenyaThe restaurant should get windbreakers at the beachfront in form of glas panels. as the wind was really nasty this time. Glas panels will break the wind without disturbing the wonderful view.

New ZealandBooking.com photos deceptive. If booking a studio, as you would for just the 2 of you then the view from balcony is of the car park not the pool. We had requested an airport transfer which didn't arrive, when we phoned the hotel to see where it was a very abrupt receptionist said "no driver available, take a taxi, and then rudely hung up. When we arrived she demanded payment and wouldn't believe me when I said already paid with Booking.com. After a bit more searching on computer decided it was paid. "Yes is paid" again very abrupt and no apology for her mistake. Only time in our kenya experience where anyone in hospitality hasn't been perfectly lovely!
With one exception the staff were lovely as we've come to appreciate in Nairobi. Great pool. Property right on the beach. Good dining on site. Comfortable enough large room, shower let's it down dribble flow and turn on long before needed for the hot water to come.

United KingdomLocation was a bit far from shops etc. Definitely need a Uber or taxi to take you out. It would have been good if they had a little shop and stocked a few simple grocery items Shower door missing seal, so floor got wet. Toilet didn't flush well. But have alerted management. Did have a middle of the night episode with some woman screaming angrily one night but not a guest so security could not let her in. This is not something the establishment can control so cannot be blamed.
Great to be close to the beach. It had white sand and you could walk quite a way in both directions as you desired. It was quiet and didn't have people bothering you to sell things. Restaurant on site is facing the beach with shady trees. Very friendly staff who are courteous. Good service at the restaurant. Room had a nice layout. Bed was comfortable! It was a suite and had everything you needed if you were going to cook. It had a table, chairs, fridge, stove, microwave, glasses, plates, cutlery etc .. and full set of kitchen pots, utensils etc. Outside was a balcony with table and two chairs. Quiet overall, so great. Good place if you want a peaceful and restful place for a stay at the apartments and beach holiday. ⛱️
