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.).

The apartment had everything we could possibly need. High quality rooms, fixtures and furniture. The location was exceptional! Minutes walk to anything you could possibly require...be that shops, an amazing leisure centre or ferries to other islands to explore. We hope to return one day soon. We genuinely loved it!

United StatesThere isn't any "view" to speak of, but there were a couple of great take-aways near by.
This place is fantastic! We made a grand tour of Scotland, stayed in 7 different self-catering places, and this was the best. Honestly, I think it's bigger than my entire house. Huge bedrooms with huge beds. Two lovely bathrooms. Large and comfortable common area. Kitchen well equipped. Easy parking. Centrally located, just a few minutes' walk from the Cathedral. And Hazel, the host, was terrific, making sure that we had a wonderful stay. Very helpful to have two sets of keys so that our group could split up and return separately. I cannot stay enough good things about this place.

United KingdomIt’s not a dislike, more an observation, but I couldn’t find anything to clean up spillages with! Also, nothing to wash up with, which was fine as there is a very good dishwasher but I don’t like putting knives in the dishwasher. I suppose privacy could be an issue as it’s on the ground floor but the area around the block is very secluded so we weren’t bothered.
We really loved this apartment. It was perfectly situated for the town of Kirkwall. Useful shops were close at hand as were restaurants. The place itself was just right. There are three bedrooms, one en-suite, a bathroom and a decent sized living area. We felt safe and secure here. It was also on the ground floor so no stairs to climb. It also has a dedicated parking space. The kitchen was well stocked with crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils.

United KingdomAn iron would have been a bonus, but as the washing machine is a washer/dryer it wasn't absolutely necessary
The location is perfect and the town centre is a three minute walk from the apartment. Shopping is also close by as well as a fuel station. Hazel is really helpful and friendly - we came off the ferry from Lerwick at 23h00 and she had prepared everything perfectly, including a welcome pack which included cheese, biscuits and a bottle of milk in the fridge. We would book this apartment again!

United KingdomJust one very minor thing. The cooker ventilation unit above the hob to the central island unit has been suspended too low and too far forward such that it is directly at forehead level for a six foot person. We overcame the problem by putting tea towels on the edge of the glass projection but both men in the party still caught their heads on the edge during the stay.
The apartment was well serviced with allocated parking directly adjacent to the entry doors and the location could not be better being only a few meters away from the town Centre of Kirkwall albeit we heard no noise whatsoever during our stay.

Location is very handy for all attractions, Lidl, Tesco, tourist info centre, bus station, taxi offices and all bars and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Appartment is well equipped and spotless clean. Very comfortable and a great space for a holiday. Was lovely and warm on arrival, which was great on a cold, dark and windy night.
