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 KingdomThe stairs although fine for us wouldn't be suitable for people with mobility issues.
The accommodation is in a very convenient location close to a Metro station in the city centre. The owner of the property provided information on local places of interest. The building itself was a beautiful historic property with lovely old tiles on the walls of the staircase. The accommodation itself was very quiet, spotlessly clean and our bed was very comfortable. Lots of lovely touches.

United KingdomI found the bed quite firm for my liking, but that's just a personal preference. My partner however slept very well. The wifi was a little slow and sometimes didnt connect but that didnt affect our stay. Apart from that, our stay was perfect.
Vanda was extremely helpful throughout our stay, especially during our check in when we arrived later than expected. We felt at home and welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel is perfectly located in Lisbon's Baixa district and close to a lot of spots that you'll no doubt want to visit during your time in the city. Despite the location the rooms were extremely well sound proofed and street noise was not an issue at all.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like.
Beautiful room in a fantastic location. Room had a fridge, air-conditioning, hairdryer, tea and coffee facilities with water replenished daily, spacious shower room, very comfortable bed and lovely decor. Vanda the host and her team are really warm, kind and friendly. The room was always immaculate. Vanda provided lots of really helpful information including directions from the airport and places to eat and visit. On one afternoon, the best Pastèis de Nata were brought to my room as a treat. They were delicious. I had a wonderful five night stay. I loved the city, my trips to Cascais, Belem, Sintra and across the Tagus on the ferry to Cacilhas. There is so much to see and do. Downtown Inn is the perfect base. Close to the Metro, the train stations, the riverfront. So many restaurants and bars close by (zero noise due to the extra glazing). Vanda, thank you so much.

CanadaThere are some stairs to the first floor which I was easily able to navigate with 2 bags.
The room was large and tastefully appointed. chandelier, lovely furniture, mirror, curtains. A little alcove/glassed in balcony with coffee maker and fridge (with real milk in the fridge), nice tea. This kept the room quiet with a comfy bed for a great sleep and a lamp you could actually read by. Great location. Nice restaurants right outside, close to waterfront and attractions/tours. Owner recommended a great breakfast place next door. Historic building with key card entrance to building and key to room. Safe, clean and quiet.

United StatesSuperior experience! Perfect location for walking everywhere. Clean and comfortable. The best towels anywhere!! Super quiet due to the double glass panes on windows and doors. Cleaning staff were warm and friendly. Vanda, the owner/host paid attention to every detail when she remodeled this historic building. She was extremely gracious in accommodating us with an early check-in after we arrived on an overnight flight.. Highly recommended!!

RomaniaThe location was really central, close to a lot of bars and restaurants. We loved the host, she was really welcoming and had a big smile on her face, she made us feel really good after a long flight. Also, the day after we arrived, she sent us messages with recommendations on what to see and where to eat. And she was really nice to allow us to stay a bit longer the day we had the check-out, one of us was sick. The room was incredibly well sound-proofed, it was extremely quiet despite its location. It wasn't big, but enough for a short stay and had everything we needed. And it was cleaned every day

United KingdomWe were very happy with everything.
The location of Downtown Inn was perfect, very central to shops and cafes and about a 10 minute walk to the river front, its convenient location really enhanced our stay. Our host Vanda couldn’t have been more helpful, organising a taxi for our return trip which was very early in the morning, to sending links to places she recommended we try and visit. She was so helpful and kind and really, nothing was too much trouble!
