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.).

AustraliaThere's some oddities with what can be paid for by card (your room, for example) vs what must be paid for by cash (e.g. a bottle of wine)
What a wonderful apartment in a great location with incredibly friendly staff (Hi Isabella!). Nothing was too much of a hassle. The suites itself are well appointed and comfortable and the location is very central. While some small number of other reviewers complained about the proximity of the hotel to the tram line, I found it to be such a beautiful spot to stand on the balcony and watch the famous tram go by. It was definitely not disturbing for me and I had no difficulty sleeping at night.

DenmarkPerfect location in the Alfama - right next to the the tram line, a 12 minute walk to the Metro and easily accessible to the city centre. Property itself was well-kept, with nice rooms that had good bathrooms with strong showers, big beds, fridges for use, and basic coffee and tea making supplies. The hosts were SUPER nice and helpful. We ordered the breakfast one day and found it to be plenty of food it - cake, buns, meat and cheese, fruit, croissants, Nespresso coffee, cereal, and eggs. Otherwise the breakfast plate at nearby Copenhagen Coffee is also quite good.

JapanAs the apartment was located in a kind of basement level, the view from the apartment was on a small and old backyard, not too much sun or light through our windows, it was a bit humid. A bigger rack in the dressing-room would have been great to hang all of our clothes.
The apartment was big, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Very confortable beds, we liked them. The apartment was not on the street side so it was really quiet at night. The tram 28 stop was like 20 seconds away from the door, super cool. You are in the historical part of Lisbon, the neighborhood is beautiful!

The location is wonderful and highly recommended. Also the building itself is very "authentic" and unique and nice to be in. The suite is large and comfortable.

IndonesiaCan be noisy (tram) at night. Also if you bring heavy suitcase, you have to drag it through cobblestone street for about 30 meters to your room
Best location if you like old buildings. Nice room size but its very close (right next) to the street/tram.

FranceA bit of noise from the street and other guests but I think that it’s totally normal if you want to stay in the center of any city.
Ideally located in the Alfama, the room was large and the bed was comfortable. The yellow trams were passing just bellow our windows (a bit noisy but so cute as a tourist to see this).

Actually, we were quite surprised at how lovely our apartment was because when we went into the lobby, we were not too impressed. But our apartment was beautiful, clean and comfortable.

United KingdomNothing really. Everything was as described on the details. Hairdryers and ironing facilities were also available at reception. The bed was quite firm but that didn’t bother us .
The location of the apartments was superb as easy walking distance or quick tram ride to many places of interest. We had a garden room which was a lovely quiet place to chill out. We managed breakfast in the garden one morning. Would love to come back in the summer when it would be lovely to enjoy a drink after a days sightseeing ! The cleaners came in every day of our stay which was a bonus. Never short of places nearby to eat. Didn’t have time to sample them all !!!
