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.).

PolandI am very disappointed and dissatisfied after staying in this apartment. Let me start with the staircase, it is dirty and has a very unpleasant smell. The TV in the apartment didn't work, there was no signal all the time, I wrote to the owner and he told me to try to set it up, I wrote to the owner again asking for the TV to be replaced, he didn't reply and no one came.. The kettle in the apartment does not have a top cover, you have to turn the kettle off hand manually, because water is boiling all the time. The cutlery drawers are dirty, forks and pots are unwashed from previous guests, there are no large spoons in the drawer, there is no hot water in the kitchen. There was only one cup for hot drinks. In the bathroom, the water was sometimes cold, sometimes half-warm. No heating in the bathroom, the electric heater did not work, it was impossible to set the stove in the bathroom, the knob was damaged. Water was dripping from the sink into the ground while washing. The blinds on the windows could not be lifted, the catches were broken. Before arrival, the owner wrote that in case of problems we should contact his friend, but his friend does not respond to messages. I do not recommend anyone to stay in this apartment. There was a problem with everything.

GermanyI was staying in apartment 9, there are no pictures of this apartment on Booking or apartmondo's website. There was no light in the bathroom or hallway, also no window. The bathroom is kind of a challenge as there is only one spot to stand in and that's between the sink and shelf and toilet and shower. There were holes in the wall with cables (see pictures). Most Electrical outlets did not work, one luckily did. All furniture was old and messed up, the pillows as well. I am pretty sure the kitchen is unusable, luckily I didn't need it. The towels are probably 10 years old.
I liked the easy check-in via lock box. I really liked the neighbourhood and if appliances, light etc. worked in the apartment it would be a great deal.

NetherlandsThe worst was the smell emanating from the bathroom, like old drains. Had to close the bathroom door and keep the window open at night. There was a constant hum from somewhere in addition to the occasional fridge noise. Ear plugs saved me on that one. Could smell stale cigarette smoke when I turned towards the wall in my bed, maybe it came through some holes where the pipework ran through. Wall sockets were loose. Bed frames patched up. No curtains. Shower was either hot or cold on day 1; then only cold on day 2; I gave up trying on day 3.
It was clean. Flat is in a quiet street and the walk to the tram is short.

PortugalThe pictures were not truthful, at least to what I booked. The instructions about getting the keys were in German and the translation wasn't good so it was a bit of a deal to get them, thankfully someone on the street helped me. The apartment seemed to be clean but then there was paper in the toilet (so it wasn't flushed) and the dishes were dirty and oily. The beds weren't comfortable and the windows didn't properly isolate the noise from outside, so we couldn't sleep so well.
The location was ok and the staff was nice. I texted the person assigned with the check-in asking if I could arrive earlier and he allowed me. This person was also fast replying my texts and helpful. A good part is that it had a water boiler and a microwave, which is actually practical.

The kitchen equipment needed washing before using yuk wish I took pictures. No kettle a coffee make which doesn't work. I have stay in alot of apartments in Germany and even some very basic one. This was below basic it needs a lot of TLC the location is the only thing going for it. The owner really does need to spend a little bit of money on these apartments.

United KingdomIt was a horrible experience. We arrived at the house around 19. First of all, it wasn’t the same house as listed on booking! There was only 2 single beds. And the most terrifying part is that, the beds were used. Second, all the rooms were extremely dirty, food left over for days on the dinning table, dirty kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. None of the rooms were cleaned, there was trash everywhere.
Nothing.

SwedenBooked an apartment for myself. Arrived to a place that looks nothing like the pictures. When I walked in, there were used towels in the apartment, dishes in the sink, and trash left. It's impossible to close the window in the bathroom. There's a hole in the bathroom door, and the lid to the toilet is broken. The beds are basically mattresses on the floor. Wifi wouldn't work. Tried messaging the owners right away (Saturday), and I STILL haven't received a reply (Thursday the week after). Had to make a new booking since I couldn't leave my stuff there, not knowing if someone else would show up or not. Someone tried the handle both during the night and in the morning. Wasn't the easiest getting to the apartments either. I even contacted customer service regarding this, and the owners haven't even answered them! If you have a booking standing, unbook it. And if you were looking at booking here, don't do it. I didn't listen to the reviews since the photos looked fine, and the staff did answer me in great manners before my arrival. But I shouldn't have given it a chance.
There's nothing to like.

IsraelThe window shutters were half broken, and there wasn't even a sharp knife to cut a salad in the kitchen. There wasn't even a cutting board to chop anything. The place was very expensive, and there was no value at all for the price. There was no shutter for the window in the bathroom, so we had to hang a towel over the window to avoid being seen while showering. The Wi-Fi code provided in the apartment was probably from another apartment in the building, which caused us to work with a very distant Wi-Fi signal – we managed to connect only with the laptop, not with the phone. We received no response when we contacted the person responsible for the apartment. The mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. The doors had signs of break-in attempts, so we had to carry all our valuable belongings with us every time we left the apartment.

Switzerland- It was unfortunately the time of the Football European Championship, so the price was quite high. - Germany is very sadly not the same in general... the train stations are really dangerous at nighttime. The flat is not in the center, you must ride 2-3 stations from Köln Hauptbahnhof.
- The small flat had everything: a kitchen with a fridge, a shower with a bathtub and a living room with a sofa and 2 beds. - The code for the door was sent in an sms 1-2 days before the stay. - With the code you can open the key-holder on the wall next to the front door.

If I was there with wife rather than my 15 year old son she would have walked out .As it was we needed to pay for 1 of the 4 night stay in a different hotel for the human right of hot running water . Promised cd player there was none .To make toast you need to take toaster over and plug in beside tv and electric extender is over door blocking WC . Size of apartment was a lie . Photos nothing like the apartment . I've stayed in better hostels . IF owner had sorted water I would have let it go and not even left a review . First review I have ever left for anything EVER !

Tried to contact the host. After one short call where it was promised to provide hairdryer and toester the host did not answer my calls and ghosted us. This was one of the worst experiences I had in my life. A 16-person Dorm in Australia was more comfortable.

GermanyThe bathroom was incredibly small, to the point where it was nearly impossible for a full-grown adult to comfortably use the facilities. The heater in our bedroom was malfunctioning, leaving us to endure two nights in a cold and uncomfortable environment. This not only affected our comfort but also posed potential health risks. The internet was unreliable and frequently non-operational, leading to significant inconveniences such as missed communications and disrupted plans. The lack of adequate facilities, coupled with the inconvenience of non-functional amenities, made our experience far from enjoyable.
