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.).

AustraliaThe garage bedroom and bathroom we're not inviting. So much so we did not use these, we moved a mattress from upstairs to the lounge area. The shower was awful, there was no pressure.
Close to restaurants and shops, good size lounge area and kitchen.

New ZealandRushed and erroneous instructions on how to locate our unit. Badly needs a repaint inside. Not always clean. Master bedroom curtains appeared to have blood stains on them. Daughter found long black hair in her bed. Window catches in Main bedroom broken, windows filthy. No milk in ridge on arrival. had to wait ages for it to be delivered. Wifi code should be clearly typed and identified in the compendium. Couldn't understand why there were two old vacuum cleaners and an ancient phone shoved in the second bedroom wardrobe. Not a good look
The location is very convenient and the view from the top bedroom is lovely on a fine day. Colour scheme pleasant with a well equipped kitchen and laundry. Quiet, handy to main wharf and mostly easy parking on site.

New ZealandThe apartment wasn't very well equipped, there were no kitchen basics like oil, salt and pepper for cooking and some of the items that were there were very tired and due to replacement. Also, the showers didn't have good water pressure.
The location was amazing, so close to the waterfront and centre of town, also great views from second and third floor. The apartment was also very spacious.

New ZealandThe shower needed fixing so we could use it. There was a dirty roasting dish left in the oven which we didn't realise until we preheated it to cook dinner. It made the apartment smell like animal fat for a few days which was quite unpleasant.
Fantastic location and very comfortable. Lots of space for the family and full kitchen.

New ZealandOur fridge wasn’t plugged in on arrival and we didn’t realise, so ended up throwing some food out and felt disappointed because our drinks weren’t chilled when we returned after looking around the town. Several dishes in the cupboards had been put away dirty. The shower head wouldn’t stay up and there was very little pressure so it was difficult to wash our hair. There was a dvd player - but no dvd’s provided.
It was central and so close to cafe’s & shops. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the world go by. The beds were super comfortable!
