How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe apartment is big for 2-3 people and very well locatedc close to the beach of Copacabana (posto 4), shops and restaurants. The host Marcia is incredibly helpful and tries to accomodate her guests as much as possible with good tips and in answering very quickly.
The apartment doesn’t have much daylight and the decoration/furniture is very simple, a bit old and moldy. Earplugs help with the noise from the street at night.
Thank you for your notes!!! Unfortunelly Copacabana is a very busy neighborhood, about the furniture always there is a first time 😉 I will see what I can to about it, I always listen my clients, since 2015 I am a Booking partner 9,5/10 I believe that if my apartments were old and moldy I did not will receive so many great notes and experience that I’ve been receiving for the last 10 years. But i do respect you. we are checking to find the problem Thank you very much Best regards !!

Verified reviewMarcia was an excellent host and super friendly. I felt very safe in the apartment as a solo traveller knowing there was a 24hr concierge. The location was perfect and the place was cleaned well when I arrived. I would definitely stay again. Thank you Marcia for making my stay very welcome
The aircon leaked onto the bed randomly but after contacting Marcia this was dealt with very promptly with no issue at all.
Thank you so much for notes and words!! Yes, it was a little problem with the aircon and the technician was there to check it up

Verified reviewExcellent location
The shutters would not shut and thus there was no way to darken the bedroom. Table lamps did not work and had exposed wires which was dangerous.
Hello Thank you very much for your words, and important notes. I did check the light spots and indeed some cables were out, i already fixed that, about the shade I ordered a professional make the mesures to set a shade over the balcony shades. I am so sorry that you went over that, as I mentioned to you, anything you could ask me, even change apartments. Have a lovely holiday season. Best regards Marcia

Verified reviewWe unfortunately only stayed for 7-8 hours due to arriving late and having to leave early in the morning so we didn’t get to use/see the majority of the facilities. The property is centrally located in Copacabana. Marcia was so helpful in ensuring our check in + check out process was to be as smooth as possible, it was much appreciated.
I am glad that everything went smoothly. Thank you for your notes and words Best regards Marcia

Verified reviewMarcia, met me with the keys. She is warm, super friendly and kind. The property is large, with tons of wonderful light that cascades into the rooms. A small kitchen area with a large fridge, gorgeous lounge area, powerful shower, comfortable bed - but the best part is the spectacular view of Copacabana beach from the bedroom window.
Thank you so so much!!! Always be welcome Thank you for your comprehension about the first night, I wish that everyone was such a kind person!!

Verified reviewThe building is located right in the heart of Copacabana, just couple of minutes walk to the sea and right next to biking and taxi station. There is 24 hours reception with friendly staff, so picking up the key and leaving the key for a day is great. Apartment is having marvellous sea view. It is clean, spacious and very comfortable for a couple. Big plus is terrace at the top, where you can just hang around and have your breakfast or lunch. The owner of property is communicating and replying fast, explaining questions and helping with any concerns, this way we would love to thank her for making our stay really special, and for all of these reasons we will return. Edita and Tomas from Slovakia.
