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 KingdomThe shower wasn't the cleanest with some hairs on the shower floor, but nothing that couldn't be washed away.
The bed was really comfy and had everything you'd need for a one night stay. The owner is also really helpful, I left my charger, only realising later that day after checkout and he posted it back to me! Brilliant service.

Compared to a hotel room so much space. High ceilings full kitchen. Would be ideal for a couple. Solo traveller thoroughly enjoyed it. Bus stop right outside into town. Car parking available near by not on site I don't think. WiFi good communication with host.

United KingdomThere were dogs barking late in the evening and early in the morning from somewhere behind the property. It did not disturb us too much though as we were too tired to care.
Located conveniently close to the centre. The flat was well equipped, clean and spacious. Good communication with the owner. Easy to follow check in/out instructions.

United KingdomNothing to do with the apartment itself but externally, there seemed to be a lot of rubbish and litter about the street and laying about at the front of other properties which wasn't pleasant to walk past into town.
Very well presented, clean and tidy. Kitchen stocked with tea/coffee and bathroom had shower gel and shampoo. Not a long walk into town, bus stop close by too.

United KingdomThe heating was on a timer which we had to change as the place was freezing when we got in. Check-in was supposed to be 3pm but it felt like we had to hold off until 3:30 as they weren't ready for us. However, we would stay here again as these are all minor issues.
Nice place, clean, comfortable bed, decent TV. Host was friendly and helpful. Parking was available on a nearby road but you have to drive around a bit to find it - the host pointed us to the right place.

United KingdomI had to ring on arrival for key instructions and where to park. The heating went off within half an hour and as it's been a particularly cold few days the apartment very soon cooled down and was very chilly.
Central location and cleanliness. Great facilities for the price. Loved having the whole apartment.

United KingdomThe fairly small bedroom housed a double bed which was pushed up against the wall on one side making getting in and out awkward for us less athletic citizens. The sheets were not ironed and gave the room a 'student flat' feel. A covered waste bin in the bathroom is required. The large kitchen / dining room / lounge was bright and at the front of the property so subject to street lights all night and the traffic noise. Filled with the usual cooker, cupboards, fridge/freezer, sofa , table and chairs, all these items looked second hand or were damaged in some way. Information on Cardiff's recycling policy would have been helpful.
The cakes and bottle of fizzy on arrival was a nice touch. Free car parking close to the property clinched the deal. The owner was pleasant and helpful when we couldn't work the TV and needed the WiFi code. The ground floor property was on a busy bus route into Cardiff which made getting into the city very quick by bus or a 20 - 30 mins walk. Overall the apartment looked clean but dated.

United Arab EmiratesArrived 3 pm after a long journey and the property was not ready. Had to wait in the car till 5 pm. A quick cleaning was done but there was left over items in the fridge and shelves from previous occupants, and there was a wash running on the washing machine. The property advertised availability of parking. There were only 3 spaces on another street, which were full when we came late at night and had to park 3 streets away.

United KingdomIt was very noisy. There was a dog directly out the back that barked repeatedly throughout the entire night. When the people staying above arrived back at 4.30am the noise was horrific. It must be very thin ceilings because we could even hear their phone vibrating through the floor and the conversation on the phone. So this meant there was a lot of banging about also. When we wanted to leave we had trouble getting hold of someone to get the key code to put the key in, they had said when we arrived they would send this over. After half an hour we got hold of someone and we were then told to just leave it in the kitchen.
The property is ideally located, good value, spacious, has everything you need. Collecting the keys was relatively easy as they met us at the property.
