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 StatesThe cleanliness of the unit was unsatisfactory. Having the option for 2 keys would've been nice.
The layout of the unit and the downtown location was great! Also, responses to questions like where does the trash go and how to adjust the ac because it was set to high were answered in a timely manner.

United StatesThe hallways frequently smelled of marijuana despite being a no smoking facility (luckily no smell inside the apartment). The air mattress provided did not hold air and we ended up buying our own (the owner states that she has purchased new ones). It was inconvenient to only have one key fob that let you inside the building. The road noise was loud (would be nice to have fans or something to drown out the noise). Room darkening shades would also be very helpful!
The apartment was very clean and well stocked with basic kitchen supplies. The apartment was much bigger than I anticipated. Great location that was an easy walk to the convention center. Nice pool (although a little cold in April). Randall’s grocery store was a short drive away. No problem obtaining the keys late at night after watching the check in video. Owner was very responsive throughout our stay.

United StatesBeautiful apartments!! Would definitely stay again. Loved being downtown and the view from the apartment was outstanding. Staff was very pleasant and provided quick response to any questions I had. Hands down I would certainly stay again. I'm from Florida so visiting Huston for the first time and staying at the RENU Downtown made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend to all.

United StatesNo Wi-Fi, no Internet, bathroom tub water was overflowing had to call maintenance, elevator from the lobby is very slow, key lock box was a problem, not only for me, but for about seven other people, while we waited while the key lock box did not recognize our phone number/code!! You guys should really invest on an on-site person other than the one lady who does everything. Definitely needs someone on site!!!

CanadaThe poor wifi is my biggest complaint. also the kitchen was a little sparse on dishes and the bed linens and blankets are getting a little worn.
They instructions on the key lock box were easy to follow. Before arriving I also received a helpful video explaining where to find the lock box and how to access they keys. All went smoothly.

United StatesHost had the place set up very neatly and brought a welcoming atmosphere for my stay. Necessities are available for use such as towels, blankets, condiments, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. just in case you were not prepared. They were very helpful with the instructions on how to get the key and made sure I got to the unit safely. The host was also very understanding in any questions or concerns I have. Definitely a great choice!

United StatesThe confusion of returning the key. It took me less than a minute to get the key on arrival. But it took me about 10 mins to figure out how to put the key back. The wifi would work when it wanted to. We used our Hotspot on our phones because of the inconsistencies. I have pictures of things that were broken, scratch and dirty that were like that when we got there. I want to make sure we don't get blamed for anything. The soap dispenser in the second bathroom was laying on the edge. The filter for the AC was torn up and needed to be replaced. Some of the furniture looked like someone had a dog on a visit. Looked like someone had hit one of the doors but not put their hand completely through it. The salt and pepper grinders didn't work at all. We found some underwear from a previous tenant on the side of the bed.
The location was perfect, only a 10 minute walk to our conference. It was quiet. The view of the city was beautiful. Having plenty of towels, sheets and blankets was wonderful. And having soap to wash clothes and towels that we used was great. Even though we brought our own having the soap dispenser was a nice touch. The check-in for the keys was very convenient. Not having to wait on someone to bring them to us. I really preferred staying here instead of the hotel. Didn't have the noise of people walking down the halls talking. Being able to make my own food instead of having to eat expensive hotel restaurant food. The dislikes are truly minor but overall the stay was great and I would stay here again!! 🙂🙂

United StatesThere was some confusion with the property after I had booked. They asked me for more money than was included in the booking information. I shared what I had paid and agreed to and they asked for the extra again. Then I shared again what the listing/booking agreement was and they said I was all set. With no explanation of why they had been asking for more- I didn’t feel comfortable with the experience. This is most likely confusion with this platform for booking, but I’m just guessing. Otherwise, the stay was great.
This is a lovely apartment in a really nice building. Having secure underground parking was nice. It’s easy to find and (following videos!) love having the contactless check in and check out.
