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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomVery basic with nothing extra. Quality would improve considerably with minor justifications, such as a double bed instead of two singles pushed together (with only half the bed made for a single client), adding a wall mirror and removal of plastic plants. In the ad it should be clearly mentioned that the address is for the key collection only, and the residence address is different. I learned this from the reviews, and upon asking they gave me the address in advance, so that I was able to plan ahead. Normally they would reveal the address on the day of arrival only.
Functional and clean. Quiet residential building with an elevator. Walking distance from the train and bus stations. Worth the money due to private sauna.

GermanyLocation of the apartment is not the one provided in booking.com. The apartment I stayed in was on Isokatu 87, which is 10min further away from the station/center than the given adress in booking.com I received lots of general messages with loads of information about check out regulations before my arrival and partly contradictory information during my stay (e.g. if it was my responsibility to take out the garbage) There were no gloves to do the dishes by hand and/or or tabs for the dishwasher.

Nice balcony, good kitchen, big bathroom, washing machine, decent size bedroom. Market in the same building group, which was nice. Near Central of Oulu, everything is near and bus stop is front of the building.

FinlandThe apartment doesn’t have a balcony, but it was advertised as an apartment with a balcony here on booking. However, there was a public balcony on the last floor of the building with a beautiful view. But I think this should be clarified from the beginning.
Cozy new apartment with everything that can be needed. Good neighborhood. The house was quiet even during the weekend.

South AfricaWe thought that the pillows could have been a little more comfortable.
We really enjoyed our stay! The location is a short walk away from the city center. There are enough food stores even closer than the center. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed in it, from spare towels to cleaning materials and some cooking supplies. It was really spacious for 2 people and could even comfortably fit 3 people. The sauna was such a treat! We arrived a bit late for check in and didn't know how to get our key. When we called the number provided, the man was really helpful and gave us clear instructions how to get our keys from the lockbox.

IranThe room I booked with a private sauna was in an old, smelly and really bad building. I was not able to rest the first night because of smelly room, bathroom, and the bedding (bed sheets, duvet and pillow, and the mattress). The size of the bed was not correct comparing to my booking confirmation. I was not able to get a hold of anyone during the first night(as I reached Oulu around 8-9 p.m.) so I had to spend the whole night in that room. Under my booking, it was showing the room comes with facilities like iron and hair dryer and a queen size bed. I missed to check them before taking shower the first night so I was shivering with wet hair in a cold room. I had to contact them requesting a new studio during my stay with the facilities mentioned in my booking. The staff were helpful to secure a new studio for me the next day, even though it was a big farther to the center anyway. I double checked with them to ensure the new studio has all the mentioned facilities, even though they were missing again. Cheers to the staff who could provide me with them during the evening. I had a very bad time for the first two night to do the check in twice. I would recommend mentioning that the studio with a private sauna is different from the other Kotimaailma Apartments Oulu which you can find on google search with 4 stars.
The key collection fine and I could get the key easily with the pin code. The second studio was clean and nice(with nice furniture and very new facilities and utensils) except the one which I booked with a private sauna.
