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.).

IsraelThere is no elevator - our appt was in the second floor, so baggage is an issue. We also booked the airport transfer service offered by astro appt. . The flight was 20 minutes early, they did not track the expected landing time, and we ended up waiting for 25 minutes for the driver to show up.
Very nice small appt well furnished, and very nice style. check in instructions very accurate. location is central - one block off the main shopping street.

Excellent location and very comfortable apartment. Loved that it was so clean and did not contain all the fluff like multiple cushions and fake plants. The warmth and space made it a most enjoyable stay.

Czech RepublicBooked on February for June, apt still looked like nobody expected us. There was like half toilet paper roll, empty dispensers for shower gel and hand soap - got it on request. There was no kettle for tea or coffee, had to ask for it. Towels should be updated. Water in the shower was def on the cold side, so if you enjoy hot shower - this is not your spot. Dishwasher buttons are guessing game. Washing machine was out of order. We could use different one which was 350m/one way.
Great location just in the centre. Good parking options around. Good TV with Netflix.

South KoreaNothing special. I wanted to park my car closer to the apartment, so I had to pay for the parking. It's a bit of a walk to get to the free parking.
The location was good and it was spacious, which was nice. The bathroom was a bit narrow and felt old, but it wasn't a big problem. It was nice to have a table. When I asked if I could check in early, the staff was kind enough to answer.
