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.).

United KingdomIn line with other reviews, it was dark and slightly damp smelling. When we opened the windows we had to ‘prop’ them open with things we could find - there were no opening mechanisms and were in danger of trapping fingers. The mattress wasn’t very comfortable and the springs were quite noisy. The bed was placed in front of the bedside tables - which was strange and meant we had to put a kitchen chair alongside the bed for storage. There was no cleaning cloth to wipe the table. The microwave was standing in the dishwasher which was standing on the fridge - which again was a little strange. It was all adequate but a bit adhoc.
Location in the heart of the historic town.

United KingdomThe room was warm with no way to cool it down other than sleeping with the windows open. This meant we could hear the noise from the square through the night. However, it was worth it for the location.
The location of the property was amazing and the main areas were kept very clean. Despite being off site, the staff checked in frequently and gave very clear instructions for check-in. The kitchen had all of the necessary amenities.

United KingdomThe property could benefit from dehumidifier. The air felt very moist and heavy but we were lucky that the weather was really nice so keeping the windows open resolved the issue for us.
Traditional property with amazing view, located at a superb location just 2 mins away from the main square full with cafes and restaurants. The host was very informative, the property was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. There was also a local info file prepared by the host which we found very helpful. We would highly recommend and are looking forward to returning

NetherlandsA lot of noise from the street, there is no insulation from the windows. That was not during the night though. The mattress was not that comfy.
Location, very clean and very well renovated and well kept. The kitchen was very well-equipped, the bathroom was spotless. My best stay in Portugal. The photos make you underestimate the facility, it's much better in reality.

CanadaOutdoor lighting and a handrail. You need to negotiate 2 sets of stairs to get from street-level to the unit. There is a streetlight that illuminates the area but doesn't completely light up the stair areas. Our unit had a motion-activated light above the door which needed to be switched on to work. I believe that the upper units have the same lights but if they're not turned on, the only light you have is from the streetlight which is not enough at night. Also, the upper staircase has a pony wall the top of which you can use to guide you but the lower staircase does not; may not be a code violation but having a rail to hold on would be a safer for guests, especially on a dark and rainy night.
Very well-appointed, secure, self-contained unit within a 5-minute walk of the historic centre of Sintra and about a 15-minute walk to the train station. The unit is very clean and we liked that they promote recycling in the unit; the public bins for disposing the recycling aren't far away. Even though there are several units like ours in the vicinity, the neighbourhood is very quiet. There is a private, quiet, grassy sitting area and a patio for outdoor space. Even in a contactless environment, the host responded quickly to WhatsApp questions and requests. We especially appreciated their ability to accommodate an additional last-minute room request.

Beautiful location - only 2 minutes' walk to the historic center and many cafes/restaurants. The apartment is clean and has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. It's convenient even for four people, with 2 separate bathrooms and a sufficiently large and comfortable sofa bed. The self check-in process is easy. The host provided a very detailed instruction on how to get there.

RussiaWe were there in January. Since the apartments are located in a shady place, it was cold there. The air conditioner warmed the air, of course, but we didn’t dare take a shower. The apartment is ideal for the summer heat due to its locationIn winter it's cold
I would like to note the convenience of checking in using a code and receiving a key, the comfort of the bed, and the presence of a kitchen with all the necessary equipment. Very clean. The location is also good, close to the center, you can walk to many attractions. Very good price for this level of apartments
