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 KingdomStayed 4 nights, our rooms were clean and comfortable. Lovely to have aircon in 35+ degrees and we made full use of the terrace. The hosts were super helpful, great English and very quick to respond to any questions. Bako's advice to make sure we didn't overpay/get scammed was much appreciated. We walked to most attractions as the location is so central. Would certainly stay here again ;-)

ItalyThere isn't much to dislike about Green Life Apart Hotel. However, two errors on the listing page should be corrected if they aren't already: 1) there is no breakfast available at the hotel, although there are several cafes that serve breakfast very close by & 2) there isn't a daily maid service.
This quaint hotel in the historical center of Istanbul is a real treat! It's set in a quiet neighborhood & yet is only blocks away from the major sites. The room was clean clean clean! & spacious enough. Modern upgrades to this older building were thoughtfully done. The common rooftop terrace provides breathtaking views of the Sea of Marmara & a fun interaction with the ever-present seagulls. I found the gulls entertaining & the terrace a welcome respite after a day of sightseeing! The two brothers who run the inn are warm, welcoming, & completely accommodating. Overall, I found Green Life Apart Hotel to be charming & a wise choice within the busyness that is Istanbul.

IndiaNothing I can think of now.
The room I stayed in was lovely. Spacious and so clean. It was airy, full of light and the bed was spacious/ and pillows comfortable. It is also located very very close to all the major places. It’s walkable distance from the center. Bruno and Bako are just wonderful and warm hosts. Patient and present for anything needed. I am very glad I chose this place to stay. I travelled solo and it was super comfortable for me. I highly recommend the place to stay for everyone - solo, couples, family.
