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 StatesA corkscrew would be a good addition to the kitchen
We loved everything about the apartment. Check-in and out were very smooth. The location is perfect for exploring Lisbon. The restaurant across the street was amazing. Staff went over and above when we lost our key card to the room. They immediately sent someone who was close by to let us in, and then the manager came with a key card. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was hot. There is an on-site washer/dryer. The wifi is strong, and that was extremely important because my spouse had an important meeting to attend. The pier is walking distance. There are many stores and restaurants within walking distance. Wonderful stay.

AustraliaConstruction going on nearby and possibly in the building meant some construction noise. From what we could tell, it's legal to make noise from 0800 - 2000 daily; if you're wanting a late wake up or an early night, then for the moment it might not be great. Also a few stairs to get up to the apartment with no elevator in case you have a heavy bag...
Nice quiet apartment that has pretty much everything you need in the heart of town. A stone's throw from the main drag and all the major sites. Newly renovated with a comfortable bed.

United KingdomNo dressing table area with mirror to style hair.
In a good location, we have stayed here before but the studio this time was much smaller with no outlook and 43 steps to the room which was a challenge with luggage. The only mirror was in the bathroom so getting ready was limited and not much surface space to put stuff. Multiple bathroom fixings were loose and grout and sealant in shower needed attention. Price per night in two years has increased by 65%. Clean and comfortable , more than one coffee pod per person per day would be welcome. Host communicated well and sorted out issue with electrics quickly .

IrelandI could see the 23 steps up to the apartment being a problem for some, although we didn't mind too much. The entrance is a little creepy, but again, we didn't mind too much. There was only one ring working on the hob, and the extractor hood didn't work. We intended to save money by cooking meals, but this wasn't possible, so we had to eat out most of the time. I feel some sort of compensation should be offered for this inconvenience. But a very nice stay.
Location, amazing. Bright airy spotlessly clean apartment overlooking Rossio square. Good air con.

AustraliaThe shower needs some updating, taps a little loose & shower curtain needs replacing. The stairs to the top main entrance to the rooms can be very difficult with luggage, no elevator..
Great location! Right in the middle of it all. Walking distance to everything you need, sites & sounds. Incredibly, the outside noise was not heard, even though it's in a busy street. Daily housekeeping, shared washing machine & dryer, a real bonus.

AustraliaDidn't bother us at all but for others be aware, the apartments are above a peep show so there is loud music until around 10pm. We barely noticed it, just a warning for other travellers. Also being one block back from the main tourist strip is fantastic but there is also a lot of (unavoidable) traffic and 'interesting' characters. In saying that, we loved our stay and the apartment was perfect for us.
Location was unbeatable. One block back from Rua Augusta. Laundry facilities were fantastic, staff very prompt and very friendly. Comfy beds and large room.

United StatesIt was hard to find the front door. We were dropped off on the side where the square was and you can see the name on the windows. We thought we were at the front door but it was through the arch and in the back of the building. The host talked us in so that was great.
The room faced a beautiful square, I couldn't believe the fantastic location of this place. The room was comfortable and clean and it had a washer and dryer we could use for free which was a huge bonus. The kitchen was really nice and had what we needed although we didn't cook any meals there. The host was very nice and friendly.

LithuaniaThe noise: The windows and walls are paper thin, you will hear everything that goes on outside and inside the building. They have a couple of fire detectors in the room that have a strong blinking light and that can bother you at night. The bathroom could be refurbished to modern standards. The above are mentioned in case you have problems falling asleep, I personally don't have so I would stay here again happily but I hope the management does a bit of a refurbishment in the bathrooms.
Location is excellent. I saw some negative comments regarding the surroundings but they were not accurate, the location felt safe and very central. Beds are comfortable. The place is spot on clean. Shower has a strong water pressure. Air conditioning in the room. Very friendly staff. Bonus tip, if you want that room with the small balcony facing the square, ask for the room called "Pedro Álvares Cabral".
