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.).

Reasonably quiet location, beautifully furnished by Rachele who has obviously travelled a lot herself. She makes sure there are plenty of coat hangars (rare), lots of nice little personal touches like a lolly jar (dangerous because the lollies are too accessible!), the bed is comfortable even in the heat we experienced every day, and there is a/c. Moreover, there’s a washing and drying machine that is a real boon if you’re there for a week or so. The double glazing is very effective against heat and noise. BRILLIANT STAY!

New ZealandThe air conditioning unit while nice to have doesn’t really cool down the whole apartment and can be a little noisy. The main bed is also a little firm but I think some people would be fine with it.
The apparent is beautiful, stylish, and very clean. It has a lovely kitchen and bathroom that we loved using. The location is amazing and it is only a short walk to the main sites. Our host was incredibly nice and super helpful upon arrival and she even went to the effort of bringing us a new toaster when the one in the apartment wasn’t working properly.

RussiaThe place is simply luxurious – spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location couldn’t have been better, with easy access to all the main attractions, restaurants, and shops. But what truly made our stay special was the host! She is the kindest, most welcoming, and attentive person we’ve ever met.

South AfricaWe stayed for 4 nights. During our stay in July it was quite hot in Florence. The AC was NOT sufficient or up to it for this apartment and VERY noisy. I did not get good nights of rest because of this. I suggested and requested extra fans, but this was not supplied.
The apartment was super nice and very classy. The interior is beautiful. Very good quality linen and towels, even bath robes. We were very greatful for all the small extras that made it very good. Rachele really thought of everything and more. The washer drier machine was great. There was even a sowing kit. This apartment is really 5star. Although we also received this free of charge from all our other accommodations throughout our tour of Italy, Rachele made up the sleeper couch, and also, we could stay slightly later e.g. check-out one hour later, so this was great. Rachele gave us a suggestion of a nice restaurant, and also good advice on how to get to the taxi's to get to the look out point.

Rachele, our host was very accommodating as we arrived earlier than scheduled, she graciously, was able to let us in to the apartment. Everything in the apartment was perfect, to the smallest detail. Comfortable, & very clean, we arrived when the weather was still very hot. It was a blessing to have an air conditioning unit in the apartment. Rachele, is wonderful, and we highly recommend her property.

CanadaThe hot water supply was not stable. My hot water turned cold in the middle of shower and returned back after about a minute.
The property is very clean. The mattresses are super comfortable. We got plenty towels, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Good location, we could walk to all tourist sites. The host was really nice and answer our questions instantly. The check-in and check-out was simple and smooth. It’s our first experience stay at a private property other than hotels. I heard bad things about stay at private properties. However, our experience was nice and smooth. We will definitely return to this place.
