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 reviewThis is a big and comfortable apartment. It’s fully equipped, with a washing machine, dishwasher, and even laundry detergent provided. With air conditioning both in the living room and in the bedroom. The two large terraces had amazing views of the countryside and sunset. The location is great, just a 2-minute walk to the beach and restaurants. We stayed for four nights, it’s great for longer stays, as it has everything you need. Wi-Fi worked great throughout the apartment, except in the bedroom, where it kept disconnecting despite a Wi-Fi extender, possibly an issue with the device, but it was just a minor thing.
1. The first downside was the experience with the agency managing the apartment. While communication before arrival was good, on the check-in day I waited over two hours for a response to some questions I had prior to check-in. I had to call them, which led to unexpected roaming charges. We also had trouble with the key lock, and although the agent said they’d help via WhatsApp after asking for a photo, they never followed up. Thankfully, we figured it out ourselves. The main door is also tricky to open from both sides, which was never mentioned, we saw it from the reviews. When we arrived at the apartment, the agent told me the apartment isn’t ready yet because housekeeping was still there, but we were already there, it was clean and no one was inside. I’m not sure what went wrong that day for this miscommunication, but the check-in process was definitely frustrating. 2. As for cleanliness, while the apartment was generally tidy, some kitchen dishes were greasy and clearly not washed, and there was even a dead bug in one of the drawers. But definitely the biggest issue was cockroaches coming out of the bathroom every night. I've stayed in many apartments for holidays and never experienced this, especially not repeatedly. For an apartment priced at nearly €100 per night before discounts, I believe more could be done, whether through stronger cleaning methods or better pest control. 3. The door to the small toilet was getting stuck from the inside, and if no one is around to help from the outside, you're locked in. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere, and it’s something that could really ruin someone's day or even their holiday.

Verified reviewApartment was on a slight hill within walking distance to the center - plenty of free street parking available. Elevator till 5th floor, then you have to climb the last flight of stairs up. Great views, love the front balcony with the retractable roof, air conditioning in the bedroom and living room, large attached bathroom and extra toilet where the washing machine is, full kitchen. Host was also quick to respond via Whatsapp. Checkin and checkout was quick and easy via a keybox.
I couldn't find any basic cooking essentials like oil, salt, pepper and sugar - it would have been great if these were provided. I also couldn't find any laundry detergent for the washing machine and had to use some soap powder I had with me.
Thanks for the awesome review, Lay! Glad you enjoyed the comfy stay and the views. Hope to see you again! [Zoe], [Zzzing].

Verified reviewThe flat is even better than the photos, lots of space, modern equipment, good aircon and wifi. We were very happy with the flat overall. Support for any issues were quickly solved.
The entrance door to the building is a bit tricky and not easy to open but this is a minor point.
