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.).

United StatesThe doors Thst do not stay open was a minor annoyance. It was bothersome to have to buy a big box of laundry detergent and fabric softener since we knew we’d only do a couple of loads. Access to complementary laundry detergent sheets or on site purchase of those in a smaller size would have been nice. A mixing bowl would have come in handy.
The Ocean Service Apartment we rented was immaculately clean when we arrived and was cleaned once more during our 10 day stay. The kitchen was well fitted out with essentials for cooking and cleaning. The washer/dryer was a lifesaver ( we did have to buy det/softener) Staff responded quickly to a request for an extra duvet. It was quiet and peaceful. While the location is a little further out from the city center, bus service ( we got rida cards) is very reliable and so clean and courteous. Travel time to city center was never more than 30 min and sometimes less. And the rides were a welcome rest for the feet and gave us a good idea of the city layout and streets we wanted to explore. Proximity (walking distance) to the local grocery was convenient. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 to stretch out and relax and eat meals together.

United StatesIt was a fine, comfy stay. We had hoped to have a better view of the Royal Yacht Britannia, but it was close. The restaurants nearby were yummy, and it was convenient to make our own breakfasts. Not a lot to do within walking distance in this location compared to staying near the Royal Mile, but it was perfect for day trips out of Edinburgh.

AustraliaThere are very few drawbacks, perhaps slight noise from the elevator, but it’s not really an issue.
The property is spectacular in its presentation. View of Edinburgh and the waterway is incredible. Plenty of space for a family of 4 and very private. It is also quiet for the most part too, with great heating.

CanadaThe apartment is large, and the price tries to justify the square footage, but there is no need for that big place to stay. The place is outdated, and looks sad. It is time to invest some coziness.
The apartment was large enough for two families. The layout is weird, and too many unnecessary doors. The issue with leaking sink and squeaking doors was resolved very quickly. There was everything we needed for 3 nights. Complimentary parking was a lovely bonus. Incredible view, great location.

United KingdomThe bathrooms are rather basic, but otherwise fine and clean too. What I disliked was rather missleading information on booking.com I try to avoid self check-ins, as they rarely run smoothly, so I was happy to sea that the facility description mentioned a reception. However, once you book then comes the small print, when you learn that they have the reception, but it is… closed! But, I am sorry, you either have a working receiption or you do not have one! So that was a little bit dissapointing.
The room was very spacious and comfortable, very clean with big windows and nicely furnished. The area, although not central, is very pleasant. There are nice dinning places around and I enjoyed the stroll along the Firth of Forth right on the door steps. I do not like self check-ins, but this one was more or less ok.
