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...).

United KingdomWhilst the courtyard area was nice, it could have been kept a bit tidier. I would also have appreciated if the barbeque were better maintained - it would otherwise have been really nice to use.
Liked that there was no ncessary check in/out times. The rooms were cleaned and tidy. We also got a courtesy call midway through our weeklong stay with clean towels etc. The flat also had a pleasant layout and had a variety of cooking implements.

IrelandApartment obviously hadn't been used for a while and smelt mouldy, we left windows open and it improved a bit but we both left with vicious sore throats 😢Also it would have been nice if there was coffee or water left for us. Toilet water was running permanently, shower door very fragile! No bulbs in 2 lamps. Very basic, but the location made up for it. Also through our own fault we didn't realise there was no lift to the 3rd floor. 😶
Excellent location!

TaiwanA neighbor is playing loud music from morning to night for two days in a row. Quite many mosquitoes at night, would be great if the windows are installed with some mosquito nets. Would be nice if there's more clothes hanger or drying rack for laundry.
Location is perfect for tourists, very lively street with many cafes and breakfast options. Facilities are complete and there's a huge backyard all to yourself.

United KingdomCracks on walls in bedroom, not photographed on booking.com. Shower head could do with replacing. Only 1 mirror in the apartment. Located in the. bathroom and the lighting is a bit dark. Picture had fallen down in the bedroom and not been replaced. Noisy stairwell/floorboards - noise from other apartments.
Excellent location. Easy checkin and checkout service. The company has an office so you are able to leave your bags before and after check out. Good kitchen / living space.

CanadaI just find it so hard to get the information on how to get in. I wish they would tell you what you need to know when you book. Otherwise we have to turn on our data which is expensive to get either What's App or we have to make an international call. The beds were hard, the pullout was hard to figure out, they finally sent someone to help. The bedroom had big windows but the blind did not work so no privacy and lit up all night. I did tell them, but no response.
The location was very central, so lots going on and close to restaurants and a short walk to the central square. We did a walking tour and that was easy enough to walk to. But then you had the noise at night until 1 a.m. in one instance. Cool apartment though, get ready for 3 flights of stairs!

United KingdomGeneral housekeeping and cleanliness could be improved to make the experience better. There was mold on the bathroom tiles around the shower area and also around the base of the sink tap. The living room, kitchen and bedroom areas were all clean. The garden area could have been tidier, lots of weeds and discarded pieces of furniture, could easily have been a tranquil haven with a little effort.
The location was great at the quieter end of the main shopping street and not far from a supermarket. We liked having our own private garden in the middle of a busy city which was relatively peaceful. The apartment is quite basic but comfortable and has everything that would generally be needed for a short or extended stay.

United KingdomThe neighbours were dreadful and loud but that's not on the host, and luckily I had my noise cancelling headphones with me for sleeping. It was a bit of a shame there was no hairdryer but that isn't a necessity!! Honestly it was a charming little place and we loved it.
Cute little apartment, very tidy and basic which was perfect for our needs. Shower was pressured nicely which is always a bonus. Very centrally located to Porto, short walking distance to bus stops and the metro, and the little courtyard was so lovely to have morning coffee in and read, if a little chilly due to the time of year!

BelgiumTwo things were broken, namely the shower rod holder and there was a tear in the bed cover. I would provide a little more light in the hall on the first floor. For me the biggest problem was the very loud music from the Barbershop below the apartment, if you stand in front of the shop you hear nothing, but you can hear it in the apartment. This was a big downer of the stay for me! A question about whether it could be a little quieter at the barbershop did not help. The music was between 10 and 10:30 at night. Undoubtedly, the music from the barbershop is no problem if you stay on the higher floors.
Clean, pleasant and beautiful large apartment on the first floor in a car-free shopping street and close to the metro station Bolhao. The in and out booking system with codes and other details were communicated on time by email or WhatsApp.

AustraliaThe apartment was not cleaned very well, had mould, much more worn and aged than the photos. The main issue was that it was laden with thick dust on the light fitting which caused terrible hay fever, it was unbearable to stay here. If you get hay fever or cleanliness is a priority, I can’t recommend it.

The location was great. It was on the fourth floor (or 3rd upper floor) with no elevator but it gives us an amazing view of the Santa Catherina street. Very spacious apartment for two and was very clean when we checked in. Oh! And the team behind this apartment is very responsive to our questions and requests! Thank you!

Czech RepublicOnly some details that would bother some other people, but not us (stairs to the 3rd floor, no lift, shower cubicle - ok for us, maybe small for bigger people).
Everything was great! Communication with owners was quick and clear, they were helpful. The apartment is clean and equipped well - you have there everything you need, I can imagine to spend there whole summer :) If it has balcony, it would be perfect. But for few days it was more than ok for us. And location is perfect - not right in the center (that could be noisy in the night), but just 15-20 min walk (or 1 metro station) from Sao Bento station.
