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 KingdomGreat location, 4 minute walk to the convention centre which way why we were there. Hosts were great and very communicative. Apartment itself could do with some fresh paint, but other than that great property and would happily stay there again next time I am in Harrogate

New ZealandThe entryway was really messy and dirty. The stairway handrail is pretty dodgy. The bathroom needs a lot of repair, particularly the shower. When the doorbell was used, the shower fuse blew. SkySport was unavailable. No hairdryer, so had to buy one - although I was refunded.
Great location close to the town centre and the train station. Comfortable beds and nice, clean linen. Good size lounge and well equipped kitchen. Having the washing machine, drying rack and iron was a real bonus.

United KingdomThere was a musty smell. It was an old building, only 2 radiators were working. That was in the 2 bedrooms. The bathroom sink didn't have any hot water. The fridge wasn't cool enough and had a nasty smell.
The apartment was in walking distance to all shops, bars, and restaurants. The apartment was spacious. The furniture was very nice. Table chairs sofa.

United KingdomFreezer fully frozen- couldn’t use. No parking. Dingy from outside & inner corridor. Key box hard to find initially. Shower trip switch kept going. Cooker extractor not working. Position on main road which is noisy; hadn’t thought it would disturb us as much as it did!
Central location to Harrogate. Roomy flat, enough space for our needs.

United StatesThe smoke detector in the stairwell outside the apartment beeped every few minutes 24/7 for the entire length of our stay. I complained many times to the host who stated they had notified the building but nothing more could be done. It nearly drove us crazy, especially during the night. The chirping was so loud you could hear it from outside the building. In addition, the shower trips the circuit breaker and shuts off if you use it at full power for more than five minutes. The bed was uncomfortable.
It was wonderful being right in the heart of town. Yes, that meant some road noise but the location was well worth it.

United KingdomThe lockbox is quite low down on the wall and was difficult to operate crouching down in the dark. Bring a torch. The lights did not work on the stairs. The hot water in the bathroom sink went cold after a few seconds, never to become warm again. The shower was poorly constructed with a cracked tile, poor sealant and barely a right angle. The water veered between scalding and freezing - with no warning. The lights and water are safety issues and should be addressed urgently. We were attending a Conference and not spending long in the accommodation so we just got on with it. The apartment is described as "Exquisite" but the finish was pretty poor in many places and it did not live up to the photos. My wardrobe had a couple of pieces of timber where I would have expected proper hanging rails. There were only a few (4, if I remember) very flimsy hangers. Not enough even for my few clothes and too weak to hold more than a shirt. I would imagine if you wanted to cook there you would soon have found a lack of utensils and dishes. There wasn't even a corkscrew! We only needed a few mugs and cereal bowls, so we managed fine.
We chose this apartment for the location. Which was ideal.

Hong KongThe kitchen and bathroom were not up to standard. The fridge was old and smelled bad. The bathroom was falling apart and the overall finish of the two rooms was extremely poor quality. The way the cabinets, shower, toilet, sink etc have been fitted is extremely shabby and the seals are all broken. There were cockroach like bugs coming out of the sink and all the seals in the shower and I just wanted to spend as little time in those rooms as possible. The noise from the street was also extremely loud and I would suggest that the windows need to be double glazed.
The living room and bedrooms were pleasant but neither the sofa or beds were particular comfortable.
