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...).

BulgariaIt was a bit noisy at times, there was barely any sound isolation by the door or the walls. The bathroom was quite small, but not surprising as the apartments are part of a student housing building.
Good location, in a quiet spot but close to a lot of restaurants and attractions. The flat was fully stocked with everything I might need for my stay. I was able to store my luggage before check in and after check out, which was really convenient. The flat was cleaned every day.

United KingdomI have no complaints. It was comfortable, clean, quiet and stylish.
The location was fantastic, check in and check out process was very smooth. Pleased to find biscuits and hot chocolate in the amenities. Shower gel etc was a very good quality brand. But the highlight was the staff, Daniella checked us in with a warm welcome, ensured we knew all the essentials and offered to walk us to our room. During the check in we mentioned we were visiting for our anniversary, on our second night we returned to find prosecco, chocolates and a note in our room which was the nicest personal touch. We really appreciated the extra effort. It was perfect!

United KingdomLarger guests might find the bed, which was probably selected to fit into an unusually long and narrow room, a bit small!
The apartments are in a great location and easy to reach from the station. 24 hour reception and helpful staff. All the bits and pieces needed in the kitchen for a short stay.

United KingdomTV had only a few channels that actually worked & found the space a bit difficult to enjoy with no view or lounge suite to relax on. Also, did not realize that the apartment was within a large block of university accommodation. This was not made clear on booking.com
Lovely friendly & helpful staff at reception. The location is in easy walking distance to all major Edinburgh attractions. The apartment was super clean & kitchen had everything needed, also great selection of tea, coffee etc.

IrelandThere was literally no view as we had tinted windows and you could hear everything from the corridors. It didn't bother us too much though
Extremely clean, kitchen equipped with plates, glasses, cutlery etc. Apartment had an iron and a hairdryer. Very handy if you're staying for couple of days. Tv and WiFi worked properly. Apartments were 5 min walk from Royal Mile. Monika at the reception was a gem, very pleasant to talk to.

ItalyThe work desk was on the other side of the narrow room from where the power outlets were, so it was a good thing that I thought to pack an extension cord and power strip which came in handy for working in the room. I hadn't realized the room had maid service, so I was surprised to find my bed made one of the days of my stay upon returning from the conference I attended during the day. Had I known, I would have cleaned up my personal items to make the cleaning staff's job simpler. I didn't realize the oven was also a microwave so I ended up heating up left over take out using one of the provided sauce pans. The particular room I was assigned must have been right over the loading dock for the food delivery truck, since at various hours of the day I could hear the carts rolling off the truck delivering goods. Not a showstopper, but on a future occasion I might try to specifically request a different room number.
The bed was comfy, heating worked well, and the in-room kitchen was nice for eating dinner in my room. The work desk was amply-sized, and internet reliability and speed very nice. The location just a block from The Pleasance was great for the event that I attended there.

United KingdomCheck in is rather late at 2pm. When we arrived at 13:45 or so, the room was not ready, which is fine as we were early. Reception said they would call to let us know when the room was ready. We left to go and grab a drink nearby. It got to 14:45, and we had not received a call, so we decided to head back to the hotel to ask. When we arrived, the room was ready, but we had not been called. Thankfully they had taken our bags, so we were not encumbered whilst out and about.
We had a mezzanine apartment booked for my other half’s birthday. This style of apartment was very cool and different, as having the bed above the kitchen area was very cosy. There are two TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, a lovely bathroom, and lots of storage in the bedroom. The bed was also very comfortable. Couldn’t fault the facilities!
