Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

Australia3 flights of stairs with large suitcases was a struggle. Would have been good to have some water supplied initially as you can’t drink the tap water.
As we arrived I thought I had made a big mistake as the outside of the building is not very welcoming. But inside we found a great apartment only 400m from La Rambla. Had the 3rd floor apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was spotless when we arrived. Very comfortable place to stay. Check in process was very quick and easy and staff were friendly and accommodating.

CanadaAlthough we did not hear any noise from other units or people in the building, late-night noise from the street (barking dogs, street cleaners, loud people, after-midnight deliveries, etc.) comes right into the unit, even with the doors and shutters closed. We got more used to the interruptions after a few nights - it's part of the life of the city and part of the experience. An extra mirror or two would be a nice addition.
Great location, easy check in and out. There are many restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores nearby. From the apartment we walked to many locations, within about 20 minutes, including La Rambla, Casa Battlo, Sagrada Familia, the beach, and the bus station for a tour to Montserrat. The host arranged an airport transfer which was fairly priced, worked smoothly, and made our arrival easy. We were aware there was no lift and the apartment is on the 4th floor (5th if you count the North American way). The air conditioning and bright, roomy apartment was welcome after climbing the stairs. Plenty of space for the two of us, including a small work desk.

United KingdomThe noise :( The noise from the streets is not good. We stayed with our little kids and people throughout the night screaming, laughing and shouting was an issue. The street cleaner trucks at 4am, the parties in nearby apartments, the babies crying I'm afraid was a real problem for us but it's absolutely not the apartments fault. Such a central location but we all slept terribly so I wouldn't personally recommend for a young family if you're light sleepers
Very clean, got everything you could ever need. TV didn't work but wasn't an issue. Air con in one of the bedrooms does loud whirs every half an hour but it's an amazingly central location, host was great and very clean.

AustraliaWe were aware of the stairs as it was a fourth floor apartment but they are very narrow - very difficult to lug the suitcases up. If you have any mobility issues, this is not the stay for you. Having said that, this is why the apartment is good value. Also needs soundproofing! The street noises (bollards rising) were very loud.
The location was great, the apartment was spacious and the facilities were good. The apartment was also clean and the lady who met us for a late check in was friendly.

SwedenThe person who checked me in: - Simply ignored my message about meeting half hour earlier - When meeting on the street, she looked at my two large suitcases, saying “it’s 4 floors” and running up the stairs. I don’t expect anyone to carry my suitcases but a smile or any sign of compassion would have been nice. - In Spain you have to pay the tourist tax upon arriving. This could not be made by card as her card machine was broken. Luckily I had cash (for some reason) so I could pay, however she didn’t have even one euro in change. So 1) no card matching and 2) no change and to top that not a very nice attitude in general.
Perfect location and good size apartment. it feels like some kind of home home even though it’s a rental unit. 4th floor without elevator.

GreeceThe common space was quite basic with a small screen posing as TV and it really looked quite bigger in the photos. There was no shampoo, sugar and other amenities that any short term rental should have. The second bedroom was not nearly as nice and comfortable as the master and had no AC. Also according to our reservation,we were supposed to stay on the third floor but instead we were placed on the second floor. Finally the high fines for almost anything (for lost keys, for noise after 10, for leaving the trash in the bin instead of taking them with you) reminded us of a student dorm.
The location, the master bedroom and the 2 separate bathrooms.

IsraelIf you have a problem with steps, this is not the location for you. There is no elevator and three flights of narrow steps. We were warned in advance and were fine with it, but I don't think that the description of the property explains this. My biggest complaint was that there were 2 safes, but neither safe worked which meant that we needed to carry our passports with us. Also note that the second bedroom does not have its own air/heat unit and there are no shutters on the windows so the light comes through.
The location of this apartment was unbeatable. The manager of the property was very responsive. The apartment was clean and comfortable.

United States of AmericaThis is not really a negative, but mobility challenged clients should be prepared for the 59 step climb up from the street. Fortunately you only carry your luggage up once, but even down is no “piece of cake.”
