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.).

New ZealandOne bathroom was an ensuite. So, it couldn't easily be shared by all without compromising the privacy of the ensuite room. The big bed in the ensuite room was very uncomfortable. Felt old and over bouncy. Fortunately, there was another bed to jump into.
Location. Lots of accommodation.

United KingdomLots and lots of things need doing to this place was genuinely a fantastic place because was close to town but other than that the apartment needs a lot of work! Broken windows, doors had holes in them, couldn't get boiler to work, front door had to mess around with the key for 15 mins to lock from the inside, broken blinds, dirty and chipped pots n pans in cupboard, food and milk still left in fridge when we arrived, shower plug hole was blocked, couldnt wash up as the plug had a huge hole in it, the back bedrooms all smelt really strongly of cannabis, my child found a tablet capsule in thier bedroom draw as well as some bonjela, and a half smoked cigarette above the coat hangers near the front door, holes in the floor boards in the bedrooms, broken marble around the fire place, was not suitable for children at all, this apartment needs a massive update and all broken things need replacing, it's such a shame as could be an amazing place if money was to be spent!
Loved the location.

IrelandIt was quite rundown, doors broken, needs some money spent on it to bring it up to date inside, outside the little path way was full of nettles overgrown so not well managed and no where to sit that was disappointing as it was lovely and sunny.
The property could accommodate 16 Adults easily and was in the centre of town so location was excellent we had a fantastic time as a family all being together.

United KingdomProperty is very very tired, lots of work needs to be done, ie downstairs shower cubicle dirty and moldy, ceiling paper peeling away and doors needs replacing as lots of panels missing or loose, missing doors in lounge so you can see all excess furniture which is being stored in there, its a massive building but does need money spent on it to bring it into much better condition

BrazilThe mattress of the one bedroom isn't comfortable .
I recently rented a house that exceeded my expectations. The bathrooms were modern and spotless, offering a luxurious experience. The house's location was ideal, close to amenities like markets and restaurants. The landlord's warm and helpful nature made my stay even better. Overall, it was an exceptional experience that I'm looking forward to repeating.

United KingdomA couple of areas that could do with a little updating, eg could do with a new mattress on one bed, the radiator in the single room (where the toddler slept) is not working, but nothing that detracted from our enjoyment of the weekend.
2nd time visiting this apartment. Great living area, love the huge bay windows for people watching, (perhaps some large cushions to make it a seat) quirky rooms, love the character of the place.

United Kingdom- shower on top floor drain seemed to be blocked and the shower tray filled up. - we understood that the gate into the courtyard needed to be kept locked for valid reasons - but with a big group of people it deemed very difficult to work around this, so some constructive feedback, maybe a key pad lock? this part of the review isn’t a negative, just a review based upon our group.
location / parking and instructions from graham the owner were all top notch! no complaints, would happily stay here again. constructive feedback left, not negatives!

United KingdomThe property is dated but I wouldn’t say this is necessarily a bad thing as it’s perfect for groups. Ideal for what we needed it for.
The property had everything we needed. We were competing at the dolphin centre which was just around the corner and a perfect location. Excellent value for money.

United KingdomThe property was in very bad condition, bedroom window broken glass out of window frame therefore unable to close, a few doors were badly damaged holes in them, panels in bathroom door broken, fronts missing off kitchen cupboards , no curtains in sittingroom and unable to open windows, mould on bedroom ceiling and a smell when entering the property as if it was never aired or used.Property was definitely not as pictures on booking.com website. Entry to property is via another property this not advised when booking, having to fight with a lock and chain each time we leave or enter the property and the stairs leading into the property are very steep and dangerous, more like a fire exit!! Very embarrassed and dissapointed as I booked this for a family gathering Definitely will never recommend this property to anyone and feel let down that booking.com has this type of misleading information on their site, this ahould be investigated and corrected immediately!
