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):
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.).

A cosy apartment which is well equipped. The coffee pods were much appreciated. Lovely comfy bed and a great shower. It is on a lively street with lots of bars and restaurants but quietens down early. Very central. Valerie is an excellent host. Would highly recommend

PeruEverything was great! Perhaps the access which is located in a small inner-cut of the facade between to buildings but it isn't really a problem once you find it!
Definitely a place worth staying! A mono-ambient flat with a bed, kitchen, coffee machine, fridge, washing machine in the cellar, etc. located 2 minutes away from the Old-town clock (tourist attraction) and right in the center of the whole city. Bus service to the center and train station is a 3-minute walk from the apartment. It was clean, warm (we went during winter) and the host was very kind not only guiding us through the use of the apartment itself but she also gave us tickets to the bus station for free as added gift! We had to extend our stay one more night and the process was as easy as sending her a message! I will book this one again if we visit Bern next year!

Excellent location truly in ‘heart of Bern’! Valerie was very easy to communicate with, very responsive in lead up to and during stay. Studio apartment thoughtfully supplied with bathroom and kitchen essentials - very handy spices and oil for cooking in the apartment. Clean and comfortable stay.

SwitzerlandThe church bells woke me up on the first day. The second day, we closed the windows, and the problem was solved: the apartment was well-insulated from noise.
The location is excellent, especially for those who enjoy bars and nightlife. The kitchen is well-equipped for those who need/want to prepare meals. It is also close to the train station. We enjoyed our stay.

HungaryAfter mountain tour we were tired and not in ‘pub’ mood every day. With closed window the flat was not noisy (on the street there was big life late night especially because of UEFA EURO 2024), but without fan / climate it was hot.
Accessing of the apartment was very easy. 15 mins walk from train station and we easily found the key from lock box. Property located in a street full with pub and restaurants. It has a very good mood.

ItalyOnly few pictures on the walls of the mini apartment, it looks a little bare. A very negative mark to the Zentrum Paul Klee. Renzo Piano planned this marvellous building, which contains thousands of paintings by one of my favourite artists, but the majority are not on show, only an extremely limited selection. Don't go!
Exactly what was needed by us. The central position made it possible for us to visit the town in comfort, reach the restaurants nearby, of which there is ample choice. Also, we appreciated the kitchenette and the possibility of enjoying our breakfast in full relax

ItalyNothing to complain about. Maybe just as a suggestion, I would recommend the host to have a Schuko plug adapter in the room.
Everything was great, the kitchen was complete and had spices as well so that we didn't have to buy them. Especially in Switzerland this has saved us some money! The place is perfectly located right in the centre and the evenings were always pretty quiet. Don't know if it's a feature of every B&B in Bern but we got a Bern Ticket for our entire stay that allowed us to move freely around the city using public transports :)
