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...).

AustriaBeds were OK but not super comfortable and the bathroom had no ventilation so stayed very damp. The heating was not on when we arrived so the apartment was very cold the first night. However, once it had been turned on for a few hours it was warm.
Good sized apartment with 2 separate bedrooms, basic kitchen and bathroom facilities. Bedding and heating was very good (we were staying there in February, so quite cold).

United KingdomThe location is amazing. The apartment was clean, marvellously wonky as only old buildings can be. The kitchenette is basic, and the facilities are small. If I was wanting a longer stay, I think I would look for a more expensive option personally.
The team could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. For example we had sunscreen lost at security en route. They found somewhere locally that we could buy a replacement at a really good cost and gave us directions. They always helped with bags and would have helped with much more if we had asked them I am sure. The location is superb for exploring the old town. There was initially a problem when we had booked a three bed apartment and were told that we only had a two bed.. During very good discussion through the app, I asked for and was offered a very good discount . Owners very responsive on text.

GermanyNot a lot of kitchen accessories (no cup, no bin, ... ) but it is not very important as we have always eaten outside !
Perfect location closed to the main touristic attractions, the room and the bathroom are big and cleaned very well, from the terrace you have a nice sea view, the hotel booked a taxi for us (airport-hotel, round trip) and it was very easy to get to the hotel.

RussiaIt does not depend on the hotel, but if you do not get here by taxi, then you need to take into account that the road from the tram goes along the cobblestone pavement, and there is a risk of losing the wheel from the suitcase.
I'd got a room much better than booked and had everything I needed. Clean, quiet in night, good wifi. 5-10 min walking to main attractions. Near the Little Sophia there is an exit to the embankment. If you need a transfer to the airport, ask the owner for the shuttle bus phone number, you can get there for 10 euros

NorwayThe floor is a bit tilted, but safe. It would be better if they have an elevator, esp. if you have big luggages. Better to ask for the second floor.
The location is very strategic, and the staffs are very nice and helpful. They tried their best to help us, from accompanying my mother-in-law to visit some mosques and also trying to ensure that we feel comfortable. Value for money for a family trip.
