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.).

The location is fab. Once you are orientated, the cable cars to the top of the Rock are a relative short walk away as is Main Street. The views of the sunrise and sunset from the balcony were a joy during our stay. The host was a joy to deal with and we would stay there again without hesitation.

United KingdomWe had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this apartment! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The apartment is impeccably clean and well-equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect – just a short walk to the main attractions in Gibraltar, as well as local shops and restaurants. The views from the apartment are amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to relax after a day of exploring. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure that everything was taken care of. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Gibraltar and will definitely be returning in the future.

This is a bright and airy modern flat with incredible sea views from the balcony and totally exceeded our expectations! We wanted to be in the centre of town within easy walking distance of amenities. The flat is accessible either by steps or streets going up hill and this higher elevated position means a lovely cool breeze sweeps through the flat and you are not overlooked when sitting on the balcony. We found it a 5-10 minute walk into town, a 20 minute walk uphill to the Castle and tunnels, a 15 minute walk to the Cable Car and a 28 minute walk to the airport! On arrival a chilled bottle of water was waiting for us in the fridge-so refreshing, thank you George!!

United KingdomThe only downsides are common to many properties in Gibraltar, namely (a) the balcony faces west, so only real sun-lovers will want to sit there in the late afternoon, and (b) the walk to the flat from Main Street is short horizontally, but a fair distance vertically as well, so if you go out for dinner you need to be prepared work off some of it on the way back.
This is a comfortable flat with a tremendous view over Gibraltar - even though it is on the "ground floor" the building is on the side of a steep slope, so there are no obstructions. It is well equipped, with a real kitchen and all the bits and pieces of a home, so if you need (for example) a piece of tin foil or some salt you are likely to find it. The bed is comfortable and there is a spacious bathroom with a good shower. The sofa in the main room is much better than in most short-term lets. The host is extremely helpful.

The flat is in an idea location for exploring Gibraltar. It is in a quiet area but close enough to walk into Main Street or along to the cable car. The view across the bay is amazing and gives an extra feeling of space. The kitchen area is well equipped with just about every utensil you could require. We cooked Christmas dinner for the family with no problem. The double bed room is cool and comfortable with plenty of space for hanging clothes. Using the pull out sofa bed in the living area was straightforward though not very dark when the sun comes up. George, the owner was extremely helpful and even went the extra mile and brought us a larger table for Christmas Day. Communication was excellent.

CanadaThe apartment was well equipped with all the amenities, very much a home away from home for us! It was also lovely to have a deck with a gorgeous view! It was about a 10min or less walk away from the shops and main streets, so a good distance to reach what we needed but not be in the middle of the crowds and noise. Access to one end of The Rock was also just a short walk away. George was a kind host with great communication and recommendations before and during the stay.

United KingdomThere was literally nothing about this lovely apartment I didn't like.
This was our first trip to Gibraltar and it did not disappoint. The apartment is really lovely and in an excellent location. It is up quite a lot of steps but we liked that aspect of it. The view from the balcony is spectacular. We spent most evenings out on the balcony watching the ships and planes go by. Gorge, the host, made us feel very welcome in his apartment and responded quickly to any queries we had.

United KingdomQuite tight for 4 people, but you quickly get used to it and the reality is your hardly in it. Because 2 cruise ships arrived in Gibraltar, the streets were packed, you could hardly get a seat at a café and getting a taxi or bus was an issue - especially when you have a wheelchair in the family.
Lovely modern apartment, situated half way up the Rock so tremendous views across Gibraltar and into Spain. Bus stop right outside the door so you can usually get the number 1 bus back up the hill - the walk down is easy. Owner sent us a short video about the important points we need to know about the apartment, showing where things were kept etc. - great idea. Everything you need is there. A airport taxi is recommended, you get there in 10 mins.
