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.).

United StatesLock Box instructions would have been helpful. Lock to main door is very difficult to use and it shows as the wood around the lock is extremely damaged I'm sure from folks who have tried so hard to get the lock to work. It took us around 25 minutes to get it to work. Contacted the help desk and they just keep saying - IT WORKS (not helpful at all). Our visit was Tues/Wed/Thur so the bars below were not a problem, but I can see during Fri/Sat how it could be very loud.
Location was great..

United StatesThis apartment was on pride street so there was a drag concert right outside our window until 3am. It was so loud we could hear every word to every song. There was also someone doing drugs on the first floor and the smell had our apartment wreaking of them, although the corridor was MUCH worse, so at least there was some kind of buffer, but we had to sleep with a window open because the smell was so strong it made it hard to sleep for two nights. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls and it looked like our toilet hadn’t been cleaned in ages. There were chipped dishes that were too dangerous to eat off of, and one of the nights the power was off to the building so the code wasn’t working to get into the building and we contacted the property with no response for the next three days. Luckily we pounded until someone came and let us in, but it’s kind of a rough area at night being adjacent to a bar so it was unnerving being there with kids not being able to get into the building.
Spacious apartment

United KingdomNo plug for sinks and bath. There was also no shower curtain so when trying to use the shower water went everywhere and the room was not designed for this. These two things made it very hard to wash. The pillows had a plastic surface which was coming off. The pillows and mattresses were uncomfortable. The wifi was unplugged when we got in so we had to figure out we needed to plug it back in. The wallpaper was coming off in the hall and there was mold. There was also mold in a bowl of decorative conkers. It s near some clubs so was loud on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday but was quiet on the Thursday.
The apartment is spacious. The flat was warm. It was a good location in the centre of brussels, near lots of attractions and restaurants. The beds were big. The sofa bed was fine

SwitzerlandThe bed is too soft. It is a pity that the absolutely lovely apartment that is also in principle nicely furnished lacks in details. There is no hanger for towels in the shower, the boiler is placed visually strange and the light switches are at impossible places. These are all details but they make the stay a bit more complicated than necessary. Also, the way that the apartment is set up, it is difficult if one person has to get up earlier or go to sleep later as the shower is in the bedroom and the toilet in the corridor. Also the doors have glass windows. It is, of course, complaining on very high level. I found it a bit disappointing that the reception is not very responsive to requests of changing the dates. It is free to cancel but requests are not answered for 5 days, upon call they ask me to contact booking as it is booked over booking. Otherwise everything worked fine, instructions were coming over mail and SMS and all worked fine. Obviously, on the weekends, there is quite some noise from the bars outside until 2 to 3 am. Mornings are quiet for Brussels (street cleaning, garbage removal etc. are not heard). Maybe depends on the floor the apartment is, we were on the 4th floor.
Very conveniently located in the center. Big, spacious, beautiful old apartment. Hairdryer, fridge, kettle, iron available.

United KingdomThe décor was a little tatty and could do with renovating. There was a leak in the toilet cistern and the refill tap had been turned off which we only discovered when the flush stopped working. The bathroom was poorly lit and pretty basic, although roomy. There was only one small mirror in the property (in the dark bathroom!) although there was loads of room for a full-length mirror, which would have been helpful. The lift was out of order (and looked as if it had been for some time). As we were on the fourth floor that was a lots of stairs every day!
The location is great and there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The apartment is very spacious and has some interesting features.

United KingdomCleaning, the property was not cleaned to a good standard, the toilet was dirty, the shower was broken and covered in limescale, there were many decorations in the apartment that past visitors had put their rubbish in and was missed when cleaned, and when we went to make food realised that there was only 2 plates, mugs and 2 sets cutlery when it was booked for 3 people
The property was in the city centre so within walking distance to everything, the design of the property was amazing, I loved the rustic look, the double bed was very comfy! Close to nightlife but have thick windows so wasn’t too noisy
