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 KingdomNot something anyone can control but the noise from the streets - we stayed Friday to Monday and the only night we didn’t really hear anything was the Sunday evening. Down to single pane windows.
Homely environment but modern at the same time. Very clean. The welcome pack was a nice little touch. The shower was lovely.

United KingdomThe central location comes with a downside in that both front windows look out onto a busy street, one which is very noisy - we took a small fan with us which helped mask some of this which helped us to sleep. Otherwise despite certain things being provided, the bathroom soap was only a third full, which very nearly ran out in our stay and only three and a half rolls of toilet paper were provided, so we had to buy more. The radiators are quite noisy also and unless you turn the heating up quite high it can be a little chilly in the mornings. Pillows are also not the best, so taking your own might be a good idea!
A lovely apartment in a perfect location. Only a few minutes walk from most things, lots of cafés bars and restaurants within only a few minutes walk too. Apartment is clean and tidy with great facilities, with utensils provided making it possible to self cater here for up to three people. The bedroom is neat and tidy and the bed is comfy, and the bathroom is also very neat, although the shower cubicle itself is in need of a little refresh, the shower itself is really easy to use and pleasant. Water pressure is also really good. Really enjoyed the stay and found out thoroughly enjoyable. There is a tesco express just up the road so it is easy to buy any small items you may need.

United KingdomI wouldn't describe it as 'luxury' tbh. The net curtains were ripped, dirty and in need of replacement and the window cill/frames were not exactly clean. The cutlery was very cheap and literally bent when squeezing a teabag!
Location was perfect for us as we didn't have a car - bit noisy but no issues with that. Bathroom was small but very clean. Facilities provided were fine for our needs.

United KingdomWe were not informed that we would have aground floor apartment and so our place was on a very busy street in york. The walls were. thin and the windows allowed A LOT of noise to pass through. Especially on the weekend, this street is very busy until around 3/4am when all the bars shut. It often sounded like there was a bar right outside our bedroom due to the sheer volume of noise. Due. to us being on the ground floor, all the windows of the apartment looked right out onto the street where people could walk right up to the window. This meant we spent our stay with all the curtains shut.
Apartment was very cosy and the facilities were great. The place was a nice amount of space and very homely for our stay. Location was very close to the city centre, as well as only a short ride from the train station, and made visiting york very easy

United KingdomOveral It is not luxury as described, In parts it was very basically furnished particularly the bedroom. Nets at the windows were grubby with holes, so needed replacing. Kitchen had all the pans and tins, dustpan and brush all piled up together under the sink ! So a bit off putting. Bathroom was nice and modern, shame about the unsightly anti slip pads in the shower all mouldy. It was very noisy with people passing by at all hours. Some more attention to detail was needed, and better quality finishing touches.
The location is great. Handy for the City.It was clean, and warm. The bathroom was nicely done out. Nice units in the kitchen. York is lovely with so much to do and see.

ItalyThe bedroom window, which I guess is a period feature, is a bit old and lets in quite a bit of light as well as drafts. I would have liked more crockery (extra bowls and plates).
Very comfortable! Pix don't even do justice to how cosy and relaxing the flat is. The open-space kitchen/lounge is the perfect relaxation area. The flat is also carefully and tastefully decorated which helps its cosy atmosphere. Spacious and quaint at the same time, perfect for children as well.

United KingdomIt’s ground floor next to street, only single layer sash window without any safety latch. If we want to open the window for some fresh air or ventilation in this super hot summer temperature, we have to keep an eye on the open window, others it is really easy for people to get in from street level.
Good location, nice and clean.
