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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

New ZealandHad to climb out window one morning because door was jammed. Owner tried their best to help. Room super super small and no where to really put stuff. No where to actually eat the food you cook so had to eat on our bed. Other guests were quite loud late at night so harder to sleep
Kitchen was good but missing a few things

United KingdomI wasn't aware it was a single 4 bedroomed flat in a block of flats, that had scaffolding all over it for refurbishment. Although I was warned only the day before a new owner had just taken over. Clearly the flat and all the rooms were a mess when I arrived. The balcony had a lot of trash and a Pidgeon's nest with a couple of eggs in it. No toilet rolls in the morning when I left.
The location was excellent as I had an event to reach. Communication with the Vendor was good. The Cleaner was very good and I was allowed to leave my luggage in my room early. She was doing my room first and it was beginning to look acceptable and was, like the rest of the flat when I arrived back later at around 7.30 pm. I arrived early because of a meeting I had to attend, and saw that the previous owner had neglected all of the flat in terms of cleanliness. It was a bit of a shock, but the new Vendor kept communications open and we worked together to make things work well for me. When I returned later all the rooms had people in them and glances into them, showed a vast improvement. The cleaner had done a great job. It was her very 1st day of work, so she was worth an extra mention.

CanadaSmall/inexpensive things can be added to make it a more comfortable stay - hooks on the rooms for used bath towels, extra blankets in the closets, and most importantly - thicker pillows. We joked that the pillows were like crepes and the decorative pillows didn't do too much to make up for it. Not the end of the world for the pillows but certainly something that can be added to make it that much more comfortable! Still a good cheap place for one MAYBE two nights.
Great location, host was very quick with responses

United KingdomThe pictures didn't quite match reality in terms of expecting an apartment and the lighting was quite dim. The bed linen was clean but the towels didn't seem as fresh. No TV as suggested in the description. A bit odd having no host present but rooms were occupied with total strangers. I would not recommend it for a solo female traveller.
Good location and clear instructions for self check-in.
