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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaI felt it was false advertising on the site. Showed the larger room with a court yard on the ground. And we got a room on the 1st floor with out a court yard. There was a Birthday party above us on the next floor. Was loud & went till late.
Was clean & spacious. And with a good location.

AustraliaNothing, couldn't have asked for more.
Seamless check in and a warm welcome from Jason who met us at the entry to the building and showed us personally to our apartment. Our ground floor 2xbed apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed with the most amazing over sized kitchen! Beds were very comfy and enjoyed lovely, continuous hot water supply from the showers in the updated bathrooms. Peaceful, safe location with great local cafes just footsteps away, plus well stocked IGA around the corner and city train close by. Altogether made for an ideal stay whilst in Melbourne.

MalaysiaGetting to CBD can be a little bit of a distance by train but there's Uber so that's fine too
The location was great! It was a 5 minutes walk to the nearest train station and there's Coles Grocery Store down the street within walking distance. Coffee spots were available all around the apartment which was great too, really superb location.

AustraliaCouldnt really fault the property. if anything, if the bedroom windows are open, we can hear the neighbours on the next building when they open/close their doors.
Being our 1st time visiting Melbourne, we weren't sure how easy it will be to commute from the property to the city and back. But it turned out to be very convenient -- its a short walk to the North Brighton station which around minutes to Flinders station. Our hosts, Paul and Jason, were very accommodating and flexible. We were warmly welcomed by Paul despite our late arrival. Jason, sorry we couldnt meet you in person but thank you for the personal note you left at the door. Thank you to you both for generously granting the requests we made and for making our stay very pleasant. The apartment is well furnished, with all the basic supplies (and more) that you'll need for a week-long stay. We didnt get to stay-in as much due to our busy schedule touring the city and attending the Taylor Swift concerts, but it was always great to come back to a comfortable home away from home.

New ZealandNothing, it was amazing
It's not often that accommodation exceeds expectations and is even better than expected by photos but the brighton bay apartments are amazing. Lovely and clean, spacious, amazing having the bath and also air conditioning in the main bathroom. Great location with only a short (under 5 minute) walk to the train station and sky bus. Super happy with our stay
