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...).

AustraliaVery unusual to get my key from a pool fence that was padlocked, staff told me that the person who has this room actually lives there and is doing the wrong thing I got into trouble for it even tho I was using booking.com I was wondering why it was so unclean and had cleaning products in random places. It smelt like smoke and the balcony had a sticky residue like drinks were spilt over sheets were stained
Locations was good

AustraliaCHANGE THE SHEETS BETWEEN GUESTS: I feel like this is the bare minimum for a place that you are paying to stay in. I had to change the sheets myself. Thank goodness there were clean ones in the cupboard. VACUUM: Really did not want to see previous tenant's body hair all over the bathroom floor! Also dropped a shirt on the bedroom floor carpet, and picked it up to find hair and dirt all over it.
It is a nice and cute apartment

AustraliaAs per past reviews it was not clean. I even called after seeing the reviews prior to staying and they assured me they had spoken to the cleaners to correct it but that had not happened. There’s a lot of stains on the couch, the washing machine still had water in it and the compartment where you put your liquid/ powder was full of mould. The sheets had old stains and a scab like stain that was ontop of the sheet and although the staff were quick to respond, unfortunately their cleaners couldn’t deliver new sheets in which I ended up purchasing my own just to stay there as I felt quite dirty and gross. There was a sheet with a large blood like stain shoved into one of the bottom drawers in the cupboard. Multiple marks on the doors and walls. Splash stains in the sink that looked like coffee? This place has such potential and I really hope they change cleaning companies and take these reviews more seriously as it’s not okay for the price paid to be in that state. The unit itself is very cute and could be so much better if it was properly maintained, cleaned and looked after.
Location is great, rooftop pool is absolutely stunning! The unit itself is cute but there is ALOT to improve on. Staff are quick to respond and answer phone calls at any time and are quite nice.

AustraliaCheck in process was a nightmare. Access fob was faulty and it took us two and a half hours of arguing over the phone with the property manager before someone was dispatched to give us a new fob so that we could get into the building. Lock box was very difficult to locate (secured to a fence down the road amongst overgrown weeds and heaps of other lock boxes) with no means of identifying the correct one other than trying the code on each box. Amenities inside the apartment were very basic. No hand towel, bathroom tidy, tissues or hair dryer in the bathroom. No washing powder for the washing machine. No coat hangers in wardrobe. No dining table inside - there is a bar table and with four stools on the balcony however on a rainy or very sunny or particularly hot day, the only other option is to eat on your lap on the lounge. The kitchen bench has one stool however no overhang making it impossible to sit at. We wondered why the stool was even there. I hope that my comments are accepted by the property owner as constructive feedback as this is the spirit in which they are given. Overall, we had a reasonable stay but there is a lot of room for improvement.
Location was excellent - central (we walked to almost everything); bed was comfortable; secure undercover parking

AustraliaNothing good to like about being blatantly ripped off. I paid for a service and it was not delivered. This is known as theft. This is a crime in every country. No compensation, refund, or apology after numerous attempts to contact.
Nothing. I was provided with a dirty unserviced and soiled apartment. The place had not been cleaned after the previous guests. I was unable to shower or sleep. A dastardly experience.
