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 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):
- 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.).

The flat is great. I have stayed there for 6 days with my family. The rooms are very cozy, kitchen is well equipped, there are many cute details that will make your stay memorable. The bathroom area is a bit small, but we were okay with that. Nina was so pleasant in communication. She replied us very fast and provided great info about flat including what places you can visit in Sofia. Highly recommend this apartment.

The Host, Nina, was very helpful polite and answered all our questions very quickly. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Sofia whether a short city break or a longer stay.

This apartment is in an amazing location just around the corner from Vitosha Boulevard, the main shopping and dining precinct in Sofia. The apartment has 2 spacious bedrooms, a lounge area, a well-equipped kitchen (including expresso machine), washing machine, 2 flat screen TVs, fast WiFi and a compact bathroom. Nina was a great hostess – she was super helpful and responsive. This is a good option for a central Sofia stay.

Everything is excellent and comfortable
The house itself is in the most central and convenient place in Sofia, yet it is quiet and there are no disturbances. All attractions within walking distance and convenient transportation to everywhere. The area has everything from convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, a bank, everything is under the building. The owner of the apartment is pleasant and hospitable, available at any hour for any matter and responds quickly to all inquiries. The stunning Nina helped us with everything and anything we approached her about. The apartment itself is equipped like at home. There is no detail but the smallest that Nina did not think of to make the stay perfect. Highly recommend.

The only thing that could be improved is nothing to do with the host or the apartment but the corridors of the building are very run down. Not the hosts problem and definitely not the case for the actual apartment.
Great location, great host(Nina was really helpful and informative), the apartment has everything you need. Very clean. Really happy with everything.
