How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBrilliant location and lovely view from the balcony. The pool area was great and there were plenty of sun beds. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was spacious. James who managed the property was extremely helpful.
The apartment could do with some updating.

Verified reviewThe host came to meet us promptly & we were able to check-in early. The location near the marina meant we were able to walk from the airport (saving a taxi fare) & was good for restaurants in the marina area. It was c20 mins walk through the town to the Rock cable car.
Unfortunately, there was a terrible & overpowering stench of drains (rotten egg smell) throughout the apartment which became progressively worse & meant that we checked-out early it was so bad. We were disappointed not to be offered a small refund as a gesture of goodwill. The balcony overlooked the Rock which was great, but it was above a very busy & noisy road. One of the air conditioning remotes didn't work (needed new batteries?) & it wasn't intuitive to use - perhaps the host could leave instructions for new guests.
Thanks for the feedback Ursula. Sorry to hear that your stay with us wasn’t as expected. The location is central and is just 2 mins walk from town, it’s considered the best location in Gibraltar, not sure why you scored it a 5. Regarding the batteries, you could have messaged me and I would have quickly provided you with new ones. The apartment has two bathrooms, if the showers in one of them isn’t used for a few days, the water in the drainage dries out. This issue would have been fixed by running the shower for a few seconds. I did offer to meet you to offer you something, but you told me not to bother as you were in Spain already. If you would have messaged me and let me know, this situation could have been avoided. You only let me know once you had checked out. In future, please message the host during the stay to have the situation rectified. I’ll take your feedback on board, thank you!

Verified reviewA comfortable apartment with views of the rock and the Moorish castle and a few minutes walk to Grand Casemates Square. A nice balcony, kitchen and a combination washer/ dryer was convenient as we got caught in a storm. Parking either in the building or across the road.
I didn’t realise it was just a unit in a building, so had to wait after messaging to be let in, and given a key, but only a minor issue. James was very helpful, and only a call away if we had any concerns. He was there within 5 minutes so just message as soon as you arrive.

Verified reviewFantastic location on the Main Marina a few minutes walk from lots of restaurants and bars. Only ten minutes walk to Main Street and also the Airport. Views over the Rock were fab, especially for lunch or in the evening sitting on the balcony. (unfortunately due to a rainy few days only managed that a couple of times). Large main bedroom and well appointed bathroom. Smaller second bedroom but adequate for our friend. Also shower room down the corridor. Kitchen had everything in that we needed and more. Large dining and lounge area. TV with lots of channels. Felt very secure. The pool and outside area looked fabulous and we hope to return to use them one day. James was an excellent host and there to meet us and to fix any small problems that we had. Able to leave our luggage due to flight times being altered.

Verified reviewCentral and convenient for everywhere in Gibraltar.
The floor in the lounge was a bit grubby and so walking in bare feet was not an option. (Feet were black soon after my bath!) There weren’t enough plates and knives and forks which meant we had to wash up rather than waste energy putting on a half empty dishwasher. The bed in the small room wasn’t big enough for my friends and so one slept on the sofa in the end. Perhaps a bigger bed in there? (Mine was fine though!)
