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.).

AustraliaThe major infrastructure works at the front made it difficult to keep windows open. They told us they would meet us at 4pm but nobody turned up. We had to phone and get the access code in the end. Not ideal when you are trying to stop your cases rolling down the very steep hill.
The location was great as you are right in the middle of everything and it was all a short uphill or dowhill stroll. Nothing is on level ground in Porto. The apartment was roomy with very good facilities.

United KingdomUnfortunately there was no washing machine. I contacted the property in advance asking if they supply things like washing powder etc so I think it was clear I needed to wash my clothes. I arrived on Thursday night after a week travelling and there was no washing machine. I contacted someone who said it had broken and they'd sort one to arrive on Saturday however they then said it wasn't possible because it was the weekend. So I spent a while in a laundrette on Friday night washing and drying my clothes. This was very frustrating as they knew there was no washing machine on Thursday or before. So the excuse about not getting one in in time was not good enough. On top of this, because I had already gone to the laundrette I didn't want my stay to be interrupted by a washing machine delivery that I didn't need anymore. I asked the property on Sunday evening not to send it because I didn't want to be disturbed. However they replied on Monday morning to say it was already on it's way. It a guy that works for the property delivering it who could have easily delayed it or kept it in his van. The guy, Joaqim, wasn't even informed that I had asked not to be disturbed. So he turned up anyway. On top of this, while installing the washing machine, Joaqim said he needed to go out and buy some parts and then come back and finish. At this point I refused and said I already asked he didn't come at all. I don't want workmen in and out of a property I've paid for on holiday. He apologised as he hadn't received the info I had sent on the booking.com messaging. So with having to go to the laundrette with no prior warning that I'd need to, workmen turning up when I asked them not to, and them wanting to be in and out of the apartment during my stay - it was really annoying, and not very relaxing at all.
Central location, not in old town but close. Close to the "highstreet" (Zara etc + patisseries). Porto is so small you're always quite close to everything. Lovely size apartment.

United KingdomWe could have used a few more utensils in the kitchen - like a frying pan! But probably most people eat out if staying a short time.
Location was fantastic, near all major sights. The apartment was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a 3-night stay. It was easy to contact the team, and instructions were clear and helpful.

SpainNo elevator. Luckily, i was only on the 2nd floor. But if you are given flats on higher floors, that could be a problem. Their system is to email out door codes only at 4pm when the flat is ready. For international travelers who might encounter problems with phone connections upon arrival, it might be difficult to get your door code. I had to request that they send me a door code BEFORE my flight so I could screenshot it in case there were connection problems.
Great location (although the taxi couldn't take me directly there because there was work going on right in front of the building). The flat is lovely and very spacious with great light.

CanadaFor some reason there is a dish washer and washing machine but no soap is provided. We were there 5 nights but were only provided two small toilet rolls.
Close to the train station and very quiet. Everything was within walking distance. Also the host close to the palace was very helpful, and replaced a broken coffee pot quickly. She was always cheerful and professional.

MoldovaThe only thing that disturbed us was the noise from the street. It was Friday night and a lot of young guys were celebrating something until 7 AM. There is a bar that works whole night near this appartment. I'm not sure if it works all the days or maybe it was something unusual.
