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 view from the balcony there was a washing machine, crisp white towels and bedding Kitchen well equipped Hair dryer
No hot or cold water for showering for 3 days! The electric breaker kept tripping on the water pump. Greedy company asking for €50 for a 7pm checkout even though they knew about the water situation! Bad pillows No sheet so had to use duvet cover with duvet taken out. Dirty shower curtain which wasn’t long enough, so ensuite smelt damp Needs updated, leather on the sofa peeling, cracked and peeling paint, loose door handles. Needs a good overhaul

Verified reviewClean, provisions left in fridge for arrival, mid stay clean (sheets and towels changed). Late checkout on last day was very helpful as theres absolutely no where to leave your luggage if you have a later departure flight. Balcony was big as we had a corner apartment, sun beds on balcony for use at the pool if you wanted to use it. Very professionally managed, sent a what's app group for contact with any problems, always answered any questions promptly. We only used the bed and shower in one bedroom and 2 cups fir a coffee but there was everything needed if you wanted to self cater. Good value.
Location, very dark road to get to apartment, have to use a torch, felt unsafe returning late, its full of rubbish in the sides and theres no other option to use. There's an area right outside the block where someone leaves food for stray cats, it's very dirty ots no reflection on the apartment itself but because of yhe cat droppings and rubbish that road is full of flies which land on you. The road is only about 150mtrs long ok if you hurry but it really put us off the location. Apartment block is run down damaged and crumbling walls with paint coming off. Dirty corridor by lift etc stains on floor. This is not a 'holiday complex' its private residential apartment block with a pool. Pool area disappointing, area round pool is just paved there are 4 broken sunbeds and a broken umbrella by it, that's all. We didn't use the pool as surroundings are not holiday complex so would have felt uncomfortable sitting there on our own. The pictures on the advert are not accurate, it says there are 2 leather settees but there's an L shaped settee with a cover/thrown on it assume the photos are quite old.There is some bodged repairs to the base of one of the toilets and the basin tap was loose, although when pointed out to the rep they did offer to come out and repair. The apartment is very dated and pictures are a bit misleading, if anyone is looking for a holiday complex type situation or has small children I would not recommend. In summary, apartment is well managed, clean (inside), quite comfortable and good value for money, however the previous review scores of 10 are very surprising and unfortunately I would not stay again.
