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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Not that easy to find the main door as there is no name on the outside. Rooms were very tight in terms of space but fine for us as we were only there for one night and didn't spend much time in the apartment. On the expensive side, but maybe they need to be booked well in advance to get better rates, or maybe that's just Barcelona on Pride weekend!
Very impressed with the self service check-in facility supported by instructions via phone. It worked very well! The location of the apartments is excellent for Gothic Quarter and Boqueria market, surprisingly not at all noisy. The apartment itself was very clean and served us very well for an overnight stay.

The receptionist out of hours who attended by phone our check In was rude and obnoxious. Not helpful atall. We were a family of 2 adults 2 children who book 1 night I. Barcelona as we were staying in another resort 2 hours from Barcelona. We had forgotten our passports and he made us feel.like we couldn't check in and were going to spend the night on the street initially. He said we would have to have a passport to check in. But this was not true in fact all we needed to do was pay the city tax of 12 euro and all was OK. But he was rude and hung up the phone. When my husband called him back he was also rude and not helpful. But thankfully took payment for city tax and we were granted access to the apartment for our 2 children and us to sleep in. I will not be recommending this place. Very poor customer service.
The rooms were clean and acceptable

There was a ridiculous amount of noise from 10pm- 8am. None of our family got any sleep at all. I had to yell twice for the men to shut up which they didn’t. No one on site to address the noise issue and no communication when I communicated in the message portal on Booking.com What a waste of money especially the amount we paid for 2 nights stay. Also floors were dirty in the apartment.
Proximity toLa Rambla

No cleaning service. No response from staff. When we arrived the beds were made but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The bathroom stunk and there was no ventilation. The heater didn't work and we needed assistance and didn't get any assistance. The hair dryer didn't work and we were told by staff that it worked we just didn't know how to use it. We called for cleaning and towels and were given the Runaround for 3 days. Day 2 we were told someone would come the next day. Day 3 we were told someone would come during the day, when we called back we were told we should've called earlier that no one was there. Day 4 we were told that they don't offer cleaning so they don't know who would've told us that and that no one was available to get us towels. We finally ran into someone at the facility and got towels on our check out date. It was very frustrating. There was little light, bedrooms were very small and uncomfortable. In general, the staff was not responsive and had we had bigger issues I would be concerned that no one is there at all to assist. It was completely contactless and we never saw anyone except for the lady that gave us the towels. Every communication was via a phone line and very little help.
Location was great
