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.).

NigeriaThe garden could have been better. It was unkempt and that was a shame because there were lots of sunny days and we couldn't use it. The walk way to the front door needs to be cleared of unkept grasses. The 'pipes' under the water tank in the kitchen didn't give a good sight. Casing it would give some facelift to the kitchen. The kitchen needs a thorough clean out, including the glasses, plates, pots, cutlery. The Cleaner did not do a good job. The curtains in the kitchen need a change too. The furniture in the living room probably need to be refurbished or changed as they are worn.
Our host was exceptional. He came over on arrival and drove us in his car around the neighbouhood, pointed out the neighbouhood grocery stores, pointed out and explained how to get around the bus route, tube station, etc. He was available and supportive whenever we needed anything. He brought a new washing machine (the old one went bad), a new blender (wasn't listed in the property but he got it for us on request), an extra duvet, and an extension cable. We really liked that the kitchen was away from the living room and had very good cross ventilation. Kitchen also had several large pots, which is very good if you are travelling with a large family. Lots of useful stuff in the kitchen. The rooms and living room were ok. The bus stop is a minute from the house, which was really convenient. We could also take a 30 minute walk to the tube station through the conservation park and the walks were really enjoyable. The grocery stores were a 10 minute walk from the facility and the neighbouhood was calm with lots of greenery and 'clean' air. Our flight was at night and our host allowed us a late check out for free. The security deposit was promptly refunded.

NigeriaThe side of the house needs to be properly lighted, the shower rail needs to be changed and the grass by the entrances needs to be trimmed.
I loved the big kitchen and the fact that it was a very close distance to the nearest bus stop and underground station. The facility also had essential house hold item that were very useful for our use. Very considerate of the host.

Philippines300 pound security deposit was very steep. Plus it took them a few days to return it so that was a concern. Owner was a bit slow to respond to general queries but did help out when we had to call when the keybox got stuck. Owner should have a note on arrival explaining where the bus stop is and the number of the bus to catch to the Tube. That would have been a god send on the first morning!
The location 15 meters from the local bus route to the Tube station is perfect. Able to travel easily in to Central London and return late at night. The last bus from the Tube to the apartment is 01:00. The apartment is well appointed if not a little rundown. Reminded me of student accommodation. Kitchen is large with table. Facilities were good but a dishwasher would be expected at this price range. Bedroom we large and beds/linen clean. Lounge has smart TV. Internet connection was very good.

IrelandGlass coffee table in the living room, but we just moved it to the side as the kids were playing around. Nothing was wrong with the apartment, perfect for short stays.
It is a wonderful 2 bed apartment. The living room was comfortable with TV and internet available and a sofa bed if needed. The kitchen was very well stocked with a blender, pots, pans, utensils and even baking trays. We managed to bake bread with the kids from scratch! The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and hot water was readily available. The washing machine worked well and quickly too. Prompt return of security deposit upon check out too.

United KingdomIT WASN’T CLEAN AT ALL! Everything was perfect but I’m so sorry was really dirty especially the kitchen. My family have been for one week and they couldn’t cook something or even having breakfast. The kitchen was so sticky, the utensils were so dirty and not clean so was impossibile to use them. Even the cupboard was so sticky! So every evening when we were going out in central London they were spending money for eating outside (and London is very expensive) or coming to my house for preparing something. This is the reason why I will not rent again this apartment … the cleaning is ESSENTIAL! Plus initially was smelling really bad especially the kitchen and the moquette on the entrance.
- The location was perfect! The flat is in zone 5 and it was really close to my house so all my family could stay over for my graduation day. Outside the flat you have a bus that goes straight to the station. - The flat was really big and comfort and also really warm. - The landlord is really good and available. - Wi-Fi really good. - The price was good.

EstoniaNo heating, and the property owner was not honest about the situation. He never told us about the problem until we arrived at the property location. The discount he offered was deceptive
The house has no functional heater. The property owner bought small heaters, but that could only do a little as the water was extremely cold. We had to boil water for bathing. It was a horrible experience. The property owner did not tell us about the heating problem until we had arrived. He claimed the problem started a few days to our arrival. But never bothered to inform us. He gave us a discount but took it back when we had to book an extra day due to a flight delay. He treated us harshly when we needed to stay an extra day.

United KingdomThe property especially the doors, plug sockets, walls and switches including the crockery and cutlery required a decent clean. Many of the sockets were damaged or didn't work. The boiler was off and no instructions for how to use it or sign of carbon monoxide test. We did get it on but noisy and clunky so weren't very confident so we kept it off. The net curtains were all chopped by hand at the bottom and settees worn and shabby. Only one lamp in the whole property. When asked by family who we were visiting how it was I described it as adequate and that was very generous. Bedding was clean and beds were comfy and we slept well. I don't enjoy not giving a favourable report but this really wasn't a fair description and was disappointing. Sorry but it's inaccurate to describe this property as elegant. I'm sure it has potential as the location was good but does need some money spending on it as was very unloved.
