Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

SwitzerlandProperty is using geothermal water that comes with its natural sulfur smell. As a turist in Iceland for first time it’s been unexpected, not sure if this is mentioned in the description.
Everything was fine, we had a nice stay at this property. The host is very nice and receptive.

AustraliaHelena is an exceptional host that genuinely cares about her guests. The ease and communication when checking in was just what we needed after long international flights. The apartment was safe and secure while homey at the same time. The location is close to public transport and walking distance to the botanic gardens and shops. We made two stays at Helena's Studio during our trip to Iceland, which was a welcoming treat to have a comfy bed, hot shower, and the added bonus of a washing machine to start out next journey after a week of trekking within the Central Highlands. We would highly recommend staying here and plan to return on our next trip to Iceland. Thank you!

United Arab EmiratesIt's worth noting that the studio does not have a stove, only a microwave, so if cooking is on your agenda, that might be something to consider.
The studio is freshly constructed, well-maintained, and the interior design is modern (I like it!). While I didn't have the opportunity to meet the host face-to-face, she was easily reachable through email and provided us with detailed instructions for check-in.

New ZealandWould have been good to have a small carton of milk for tea or coffee. Confused about parking but there was room on the roadside which seemed safe.
There were 2 good chairs to sit on. Kitchen area with plates and cutlery to make breakfast. Nice touches like chocolate bar and 2 bottles of lovely lemon sparkling water, shampoo & conditioner. Very nice to have a washing machine. Great blackout curtains.

South Africa- location - horrible sheets- had to remove them as they were so itchy - bright light coming from the house - uncomfortable bed - offensive smell from shower The room is attached to a house so you basically staying in someone’s backyard. It’s in a suburb so if you are visiting for the first time I definitely wouldn’t recommend this location.
Nothing.
