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 one issue which I've told them about.
Picking up the keys, getting into the building and the apartment were all good. Not too easy that you might worry was the building secure, but perfectly doable and well described.

SpainThere are literally no amenitiesin the apartment - no hand soap, not a dash of salt, not a bag of tea, nothing. There was indeed toilet paper, fortunately. For the price you pay they might make a tiny investment and get some basics (i'm sure a 4€ bottle of olive oil can last a few visits). It's quite annoying to arrive in the middle of the night and realise you need to go shopping first thing in the morning so you can wash your hands. Staff was not helpful, I asked a simple question only to get a "no clue" answer (which upon doing some research myself realised anyone living there for a while would have known immediately - so they just couldn't be bothered to help). This would never happen in a hotel with a reception. The bedroom windows are facing a plaza where tons of people gather in the evening to watch the sunset, which makes it impossible to sleep with the window open due to loud noise until 2-3am.
The apartment is wonderful, fantastic location, the view is hard to beat, and the proximity to old centre as well as ease to getting out of the city are perfect. There is a washing machine and a dish washer which are very useful if you stay there for longer. The bedrooms are spatious and beds very comfortable.

AustraliaThis is a really small negative but unfortunately you can hear downstairs neighbours if they move furniture or drop something. This was only an issue at 3am one night.
Walked into the apartment amazed by the views! Exactly as pictured. It was clean, the beds comfortable and the location excellent. Washing machine and coffee machine available. Aircon worked really well too.

SpainNot for young children or people who want to avoid noise, you have a party scene just below the flat.
The pictures of the flat don't do justice to it. The flat has increible views, but is also much larger than what is perceived on the website. It has 2 bathrooms which is quite unusual and has enough space to spend time in the flat if you need to. However, the location is so great that you will be visiting and partying.

LuxembourgIt is in an area which is noisy in the evenings- ok if you want to be out joining in!! However, the shutters and aircon had to be shut/on if you didn’t want to hear it. This should be flagged up for people. There was nothing in the kitchen in terms of welcome pack or basics- just some coffee pods and washing tablets. Basic oil, salt and pepper?? Some water in the fridge?? Tea towel? Cleaning stuff for sinks/ toilets? Paper towels? Soap for both toilets, not just one? We got brought a tea towel and more towels when we asked. Beds not changed till day 9. Also no cleaning of loos or sinks till then. As other people mentioned, windows bit grubby ( difficult to clean!). There was no advice/ info left. No map even.
Great location in terms of being central with good selection of food places around. Super view of the river Good shower and kitchen facilities ( with caveat- see below) Responsive managers of property when we had issues

SwitzerlandThere are a few things in the apartment that need repairing (e.g. water damage along the windows).
The view from this apartment is spectacular. It's in a nice neighbourhood with plenty of restaurant options nearby, and a convenient little grocery down the street. It is on top of a hill, hence the amazing view, but you need to prepare yourself, especially if walking up from the river.
