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 StatesNothing to not like.
It offers a lot of space for the price in Brooklyn! It is obvious that Marine has given a lot of thought to the needs of guests. It is a true home share but had privacy and that feels ethically comfortable and also comfortable. It is in a great location for getting around and the residential neighborhood was quiet even on Halloween weekend! Great value.

United KingdomSharing the bathroom, but that was ok, just not used to it. We were very close to the person in the next room and felt we could be heard as there was an adjoining door in the bedroom which had been sealed to reduce noise.
The host was so lovely and couldn't do enough to help us with any queries. We loved the little kitten!

CanadaPerfect location. Plenty of restaurants around, train station to Manhattan, queens, quiet street. Everything needed was nearby. Merine was so friendly, she greets you with a smile. Her home is well equipped with everything you need and then some. She is responsive, makes sure you’re taken care of. The living room and kitchen space was clean, spacious and has all amenities. The bedroom had storage space and a nice bed. I needed to touch up my nails and she came up with nail polish choices for me. The fridge was stocked with sauces and water and even juice. If you’re a cooking avid, she has everything you need to chef up. Coffee, teas were also there.

United StatesI honestly did not dislike anything about my stay at the Heiress Hub, but I was surprised by the fact that the bedroom, living room/kitchen, and bathroom are all in separate rooms connected by a hallway that everyone in the building has access to, not just my friend and I. Not an issue for me and I don't think it should be an issue for anyone, just not something I was expecting.
The host was absolutely amazing, and the location was amazing. A nice and beautiful walk to the metro and then you would blink your eyes and you were in the city! Nice quiet place to come home to after a busy day in the city, but still a lot of fun! We could not have chosen a better spot for our very busy 4-day stay in NYC! I would 1000% come back and rebook here with Miriam!

United StatesYou must know the bathroom is shared. We didn’t love that part because my friend had to wait for almost an hour to use it one morning. It was super clean all the time tho, the place has a different setting as a regular apartment, I mean, the bathroom, living room and room are in the same floor but separate, you need a key to enter to each room.
The personnel was amazing!! Marinne is the best part, she’s super super kind and responsive, she attended all of our request, questions and was super helpful and kind, welcoming and nice. She helped us with many things and even with a personal situation, so the attention I can say it’s great, the best you can find in the city. The place has a good location, it’s like 10 minutes walking from two or three different subway stations, the bathroom was super clean and has all the amenities, also many towels, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc. The bed was comfortable too. Nice mirrors and dressers. The table was decorated super cute with Christmas decorations, the living room was nice and the kitchen clean and with many things. You have a fridge, stove, microwave, and all kitchen utensils which is amazing if you want to cook there. Its a very good spot if you want to work there or doing breakfast before going to sightseeing the city.

United StatesThe pictures make it look like a private apartment. But the bedroom and bathroom were separate. And there was an additional bedroom occupied by someone else. The bathroom was shared. There were also lots of steps getting inside and then upstairs. We had heavy luggage that was difficult to manage. There was also ni mention of the cat. My husband was very allergic and we wouldn’t have booked there had we known.
The host was nice and very responsive.
