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.).

MalaysiaOnly major issue I have is the noise from the portable aircon which is pretty loud. We were fortunate that the night temperature was cool and did without the aircon. The stand fan that was available also came in handy for the night
Located right in the center of Flinders Street just opposite the Flinders Street Station. Unfortunately the apartment cannot be accessed directly by car due to the construction of a new metro station just adjacent to it. Had to walk a short distance to reach the entrance. The host, Sue was exceptionally patient with us for our checking in especially. Kudos to her! Security was good and card access is required throughout your journey up to the apartment. The apartment block appears to have just underwent some renovation. The apartment we book was on the lower floor facing the side road. Was a little tight for 4 adults more so if you have large luggages. Otherwise it was very warm cosy and clean. Sound intrusion from the outside was kept to the minimum by double glazed windows but sound proofing within the neighbouring unit was just average. The bed and the sofa bed were acceptable with clean beddings. The kitchen though small was very well equipped and had all the necessary utensils. The microwave and stove provided was working well. The unit also came with cereals which was a lovely gesture from the host. However some milk would have made it perfect. Nevertheless, Woolworths is just a stone’s throw away! The bathtub is a bit small if you are big sized and extra care needs to be taken while going in and exiting. Otherwise the bathroom was clean and functional with both hot and cold water.

MalaysiaThe pots and pans were abit worn out and rusty. We used the only pan that was in a better shape. Other than that, everything was exceptional!
Honestly..everything you would want on your holiday. Sue was a good hostess and greeted us upon our arrival. She gave a very good tour of the place and good instructions.

AustraliaFantastic location and host! The host (Sue) met us at the front of the building and personally showed us around the apartment. Our stay was 6 nights and we used the kitchen facilities most days, the kitchen contained everything we needed to enjoy home cooking. The apartment whilst on the small side contained everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Step outside, you have flinders station and fed square on your doorstep. A 15 minute walk to Melbourne park for the tennis, awesomely located for walking or hop on the free tram loop across the road from the apartment building. A Woolworths Metro store is a few steps away from or a Coles located just around the corner.

AustraliaA great find in the middle of Melbourne! Our host was lovely- easy to communicate with, provided plenty of information about the facilities and was very accommodating, which was all much appreciated. The place was clean, well presented and provided everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Being located opposite Flinders St Station meant we were right amongst numerous transport, food and grocery stores making the place super-convenient. Would love to come back!
