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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesSometimes at night the people in house washed clothes and it was loud when we were trying to sleep.
Owner was helpful when we had issues. I appreciated their communication. The place was perfect for what we needed.

United StatesHaving the bathroom inside one of the bedrooms was the only real drawback.
The best thing about this property is its extraordinary value. Where else can you get three bedrooms, all with queen beds, a kitchen, a dining room, washer/dryer, and a small living room in DC for this price. The air conditioning worked great which was very much appreciated after long days of site-seeing in the heat and humidity. The property is a bit quirky. As a basement apartment, you walk down stairs immediately upon entering the door. There are also very low ceilings and only one bathroom that is inside one of the bedrooms. However, these things actually seemed charming for the short stay that we were there. The hosts left a manual for the apartment listing local stores, numbers, and conveniences so it was easy to get up to speed on the apartment and neighborhood. Closeup and checkout was amongst the easiest of the dozens of rentals that I've done. The property was in a nice mixed neighborhood of large homes, and even had an Embassy on the street corner. Everyone in the neighborhood we came in contact with was nice and welcoming including those we just passed on our walk. Within a third of a mile walk, there was a tasty Honduran restaurant as well as others, an excellent place for coffee, and a small convenience store. If you are a close-knit group, this property is exponentially better than a few hotel rooms, especially in price as well as the ability to stay together.

United StatesThe property is a little far from any metro station hence why it is a good idea to have a car or use lyft/uber when staying here. The main issue was the noise that came from upstairs. It isn't a big deal, but it is quite loud around the evening, though it does die down around 9.
The property is a basement in a house in DC. It has three comfy rooms a kitchen and a small living room. There is a washing and dryer machine on site that you can use. I liked the comfort of having three rooms and each had its own tv with roku so i spent my nights watching movies while at the property. I thought the price was great for what I got. The hosts gave me a parking pass for free, so it is great for anyone who has a car.

United StatesInstructions for parking were unclear, so we followed one set and had to pay to park about 3/4 mile away--only to learn later that we could have left our car on the street in front of the house. The huge shower would benefit from a grab bar and anti-slip floor strips or mat. We are mindful of bathroom safety because we are in our late 70s.
We liked the spaciousness of the apartment and the location in an older residential area. It was only 1/2 block to a bus stop that took us into the center of DC. (DC bus drivers are incredibly courteous and helpful.) It was private and quiet. There were a lot of electrical outlets for us to charge phones and tablets. The hosts processed our deposit refund immediately. We did not meet the hosts, but all communications with them were pleasant and helpful. The flat had plenty of cookware as well as toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies (not laundry detergent), a full-size fridge--very convenient.

NorwayThe bathroom is located inside one of the bedrooms. Not a problem for our group but could be depending on who you travel with. Some occational noise from the people living upstairs but not too bothersome.
Great location, very clean, big shower, washing machine and dishwasher available. TVs in every room. Friendly host and good communication
