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.).

South AfricaGuests should be somewhat adaptable in sharing a bathroom with other guests, but we were prepared for that up front and the host made sure to keep all communal areas sparkling clean daily so this wasn't a problem at all. Would only note that noise is quite sensitive, but this can be expected in any similar set-up. Overall, great value.
The host is very friendly and takes extra care to make you feel welcomed. We appreciated the fresh flowers, recommendation guide, and pillow chocolates on arrival. It was a large room, well equipped, and super clean! Checking in and finding the apartment was made easy thanks to his clever video guide. You'll find a train station and 24h shop just around the corner. Would definitely recommend.

Great hosts, very clean apartment with lots of thoughtful touches in the room, including fresh flowers which was a lovely surprise! Room was exactly like the photos and the shared bathroom was spotless and regularly cleaned. Very cute dogs who share the apartment. Shared kitchenette had a Nespresso machine, fridge, microwave, toaster, oven and cooktop Extremely close to the train station which takes you into the city (and bus stop close by) Convenience store on the same block and walking distance to the local massive Sainsbury's. Would absolutely stay again, thanks to the hosts for having me!

AustriaWe really enjoyed our stay, the hosts were very lovely, the cute dogs are a definite plus. The rooms were very clean and the kitchenette is also totally sufficient. It's located in a quiet area, you have a small supermarket around the corner and you have great access to the public transportation network.

PolandEven though London Bridge is only 20min by train, after 11:30PM it was hard to find a reasonable return connection
The whole apartment was very clean. Our room was beautifully prepared, even with flowers in a vase! Contact with the owner was easy. I strongly recomend this place!

Ireland2 minute walk from the train station where you can get a train to central in 15 minutes. The place was so clean, comfortable, and modern. Peter and his partner were so warm and welcoming from day one, they sorted us with anything we needed and were very accommodating. They even got us a toaster!! We have stayed in probably a hundred different places over the last year as we travel a lot, and this one was definitely our favourite.

Everything about this accommodation was amazing from walking into the amazing smells of the apartment to every intricate details of kitchenware and fresh flowers. Peter and Tean made our stay so pleasant giving us tips and recommendations on where to visit. We also loved having evening chats with them as they are so easy going! And don't let me forget about their doggos Coco and Louis!! Waking up and having them greet us was the best surprise every morning! We will definitely be booking their accommodation when we're back in London, no questions asked

NetherlandsAbsolutely nothing. It was perfect.
What a gorgeous apartment! It’s situated 3 mins from Lower Sydenham station so the location is perfect for connections. The whole place is exceptionally clean; I’ve never stayed in an apartment as clean as this! It smelled so good and was very warm and inviting. The bed and room were sooo comfy. Also available to use is a very cute kitchenette, almost like a fully serviced kitchen! The owner is friendly and warm, and was available to answer any queries via WhatsApp. These things really help make it feel private because I stayed for 3 nights and didn’t see a soul! Perfect and just what I needed for my trip. I’ll be back soon ;)

CanadaThis is my first time having to share a bathroom with everyone and it is not ideal; I didn't like it one bit. I wasn't aware that the host had dogs, but I accepted it since it was too late to change the apartment. Also, transit expenses are insane and definitely not worth it.
The location was nice and accessible to the center of the city; it takes 25 minutes by train. The security in the building is good and it's nice and new. Lastly, the host was very kind and nice to talk to.

SloveniaThere was not a single thing I didn’t like.
First of all, very lovely hosts (including doggies Coco and Louis), the whole place smells reeeaally nice, beautifully decorated, clean. Loved sleeping on a comfy bed with extremely soft sheets! Next time in London, I will definitely book again. The host was even so friendly, he arranged a transfer to the airport. Words can’t express how much I loved staying at this place!
