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 reviewWe had a fantastic stay at Raphael’s Residence in the beautiful Baka neighborhood of Jerusalem. The area is charming, quiet, and full of character—with lovely cafés, shops, and tree-lined streets just a short walk away. The apartment itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend !

Verified reviewLoved the location- convenient to walk to Emek Refaim and right behind a fantastic restaurant (The Grand Cafe) as well as within a block of other places to grab food. The staff was very kind and quick to help me when I had small issues with the lock on the back patio and when I asked for a slightly late checkout. The interior of my unit was not the newest but it was large and a great place for a reasonable price!

Verified reviewA great location in Baka less than ten minutes walk from Emek Refaim and five minutes from the bus stop into the city. It was quiet and sunny, but right next to lovely cafes, little shops and the best felafel (Felafel Oved). Separate bedroom and fully kitted out kitchen and a small patio worked really well for us.
Online communication was poor to non-existent. any messages through Booking.com got an automated message about the “high volume of inquiries” with a suggestion to WhatsApp or call. I tried both with no response, trying to arrange a different check in time than the allowed two-hour window. Staff on site were lovely however.

Verified reviewStaff was extremely nice and helpful. Location is great. Room had a small living room with a stovetop and some dishes, and a small fridge--very helpful. Also, there is free parking on the premises. Location is great with a lot of shops and restaraunts nearby, and the bus stop right down the street if you want to go into the center (it's walkable but about a half hour to most interesting places, like the shuk).
Office is not open 24/7. We didn't have any emergencies and there is a number to call, but just something to be aware of.

Verified reviewGreat location plus it's two rooms and a small kitchenette. Staff is very friendly and helpful!
No food/breakfast on shabbat. It would be nice if they had something small (like bread/cheese/milk) that they could provide when you are staying over on shabbat. There is a24 hour store nearby but nearly everything closes an hour before shabbat or more.
