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.).

General cleanliness very poor, a snail was on the wall behind the living room door and another on the ceiling of the kitchen area, cobwebs on the windows of kitchen area, wall fan vents in the bathroom clogged with dirt, mould along the bottom of walls of shower, dirt/rust around shower plughole, no information booklet in the rooms about anything especially fire exit which had no key to get through in event of emergency. The walls and skirting boards are scuffed and dirty. On arrival there were black bin bags and laundry bags lined along the entrance hall.Very disappointed especially as it was my most expensive accommodation through booking.com. I would not recommend this accommodation.

Verified reviewlocation was good and free street parking after 6pm to 9am.
Up a lot of stairs and to back of property with minimal window views. A skylight in the bedroom over the bed with no blinds was very annoying waking us up in the early hours of the summer morning! Apartment kitchen was not cleaned properly, toilet seat was broken and vert unstable.

Verified reviewThe location was great. The bed, TV, and the shower were nice.
The front door to the apartment (which held several units was often unlocked. The cleaning tools were left out in the hallway. There were no side tables next to the sofa or the bed. I didn't think or check to see if there was wifi or not as that is pretty standard these days (and totally my mistake) but I honestly would not have booked the apartment is I knew there was no wifi.

Verified reviewWe did really like the location of the apartment, as its in the town center. Good instructions were given how to find it and very nice welcome message has been sent prior to arrival.
We arrived after long day of traveling and found ourselves in the ridiculously hot apartment: heating were left on, windows closed, so we supposed to switch the heating off,open windows and leave the place to let it cool down. Bed was clean, its a double bed, not king size. shower was clean as well, but the whole place needed a good dusting off. Also we couldn't have access to WiFi. To my query on that matter the host answered that there should be a welcome letter with the password. Which wasn't there and after that I didn't receive any answer.yeah, why should I?- rent is paid ,just couple of hours left to spent there, who cares...

Verified reviewSleek modern design, huge television, extremely comfortable bed, perfectly clean. Dishes and cutlery. Beautiful electronic fire place for ambience. Candles. Amenities provided kettle toaster oven and even over head extractor fan working perfectly. Picture of Elvis Presley over the bed I found to be very tasteful and cool.
The fireplace would flick on for just a second and then turn off. There could have been more kitchen roll. The TV wasn't the priority but it would have been nice to watch some local television. There were other accounts that forgot to log out of the Netflix etc.

Verified reviewLocation was excellent right in the centre of town, nice size for a couple. Place was clean and at the back of the building so no street noise.
There was no blind on the skylight in bedroom which meant that you were woken by sunlight. The apartment had a modem for internet but this could only be used via the smart TV for streaming and not used for Wifi which seemed odd
