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.).

ItalyOnly few pictures on the walls of the mini apartment, it looks a little bare. A very negative mark to the Zentrum Paul Klee. Renzo Piano planned this marvellous building, which contains thousands of paintings by one of my favourite artists, but the majority are not on show, only an extremely limited selection. Don't go!
Exactly what was needed by us. The central position made it possible for us to visit the town in comfort, reach the restaurants nearby, of which there is ample choice. Also, we appreciated the kitchenette and the possibility of enjoying our breakfast in full relax

ItalyNothing to complain about. Maybe just as a suggestion, I would recommend the host to have a Schuko plug adapter in the room.
Everything was great, the kitchen was complete and had spices as well so that we didn't have to buy them. Especially in Switzerland this has saved us some money! The place is perfectly located right in the centre and the evenings were always pretty quiet. Don't know if it's a feature of every B&B in Bern but we got a Bern Ticket for our entire stay that allowed us to move freely around the city using public transports :)

CanadaThe bathroom is well equipped but small - it might be something to mention. Getting past the sink and towel racks in the middle of the night could be challenging.
Valeri's info manual is absolutely wonderful. It is such a treat to have immediate access to useful information. The location is truly perfect when the goal is to immerse yourself in Old Town Bern. Trams were close by, an easy walk to the train station. The space is small but Valeri has equipped it with storage for the guest as well as a small but well equipped kitchen. We were very happy to find that the street was quiet and nothing kept us awake after a hard day of exploring.

ThailandWe didn't like the very low bed. It was quite comfortable but just very low. This would probably not be an issue for a young couple but we are much older. The bathroom was also very small and awkward to use the small sink. There is also no lift in the building, which is a disadvantage if one has heavy cases.
It's an apartment, so no breakfast. The location was excellent and the host, Valerie was extremely helpful. The main studio room was very pleasant, light & airy.

NetherlandsIt was quite warm when we stayed so the aircon would have been excellent, but the host did add a fan and humidifier only they were a little noisy.
There were many lovely, thoughtful extra touches, such as nice tea, earplugs and toothpaste. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was really comfortable. The location was perfect.

United StatesThis was the perfect stay in Bern. The location was ideal, the apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable. There was also the bonus of several thoughtful amenities like a universal power plug, a welcome Swiss chocolate, coffee and basic toiletries. Every detail was well thought out from the instructions to use the washing machine to recommendations on places to visit in Bern. I would highly recommend the Heart of Bern!

United StatesValerie’s instructions for check-in and check-out were super clear - we loved the video she made of how to access the keys, etc.! The place was perfect for our needs as a couple. It was clean, well designed, had a fan (😃😃😃), had new toothpaste, new toothbrushes, shower gel/body wash, shampoo, cookware, coffee (with lots of pods), spices, sugar, creamer. All these little things that you may not find at some of the other nice AirBnbs sometimes. Valerie was also very sweet about letting us check in early, as we had to check out from our previous hotel much earlier plus there was no guest scheduled for the day we arrived, so we got lucky! At night, this place is on PARTY CENTRAL street, which was PERFECT for us! Keep in mind that the street will be loud till late, but if you close your windows, and turn on the fan, you will sleep in the comfortable bed perfectly well! Thanks very much, Valerie - we will definitely stay with you again if we come to Bern!
