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.).

Germany1. Loading/unloading luggages can be an issue (busy street) 2. Parking is 900m away, for us not really a problem 3. The room was too warm and we wanted to use the aircon, we were told the aircon was deactivated and we can’t use it - the solution was to open the window but then we found mosquitos coming in. 4. Shared balcony, lack of privacy, you can have people walking/smoking outside your window 5. The bathroom sliding door not working properly, very hard to open/ close 6. Bad soundproofing 7. Wifi is poor/ unstable
1. Secured free parking in a hotel nearby (behind gates) 2. Friendly host who gives travel tips 3. Self served coffee machine in living room 4. Special old historic apartment 5. 15mins walk to city, supermarket nearby

UkraineWe were extremely impressed with the apartment for many reasons. The apartment is conveniently located just 100 meters from the entrance to the Boboli Gardens, so if you are a tourist like us, we recommend going there right away and exiting it at the Pitti Palace a mere stone's throw away from the city centre. There is an Urban Gym some 20 meters away from the apartment! So you don't have to miss your workouts. There is a bus stop as you exit the building. There are lots of grocery stores and all sorts of amenities nearby. The apartment itself is richly furnished, with tall ceilings and a nice common area with a free coffee machine. The beds are comfortable. Everything is clean and neat. Windows are soundproofed so no noises are coming from the street below. In short, we highly recommend it. Excellent value for this price.

United KingdomUnfortunately, the heater wasn’t working but the host was really kind and offered a portable heater for comfort.
The most luxurious and gorgeous stay in Florence! A wonderful location in close walking distance from the train station and to great stores. A supermarket is close by too. The room was equipped with tea, coffee and bottled water - both still and sparkling! A lovely balcony and facilities are so clean, my room was also cleaned to perfection with fresh towels everyday. Coffee machine outside the room too in the communal area is great. Lovely hosts too who are very responsive!

United StatesWe booked this place because parking was included. There is included parking, but it is a 15 minute walk up a steep hill at the sister property. Not a deal breaker but it would have been good to know the parking was off site when we booked. Says "B&B" but unless breakfast is just a nespresso machine, we didn't find and breakfast portion. We would stay again.
Very cool space in what I assume is an old church. There is a large common area that is super cool, and the room itself has a good sized bathroom with large tub. King size bed is two twins pushed together and there is a bunk bed. Super cool mural on the ceiling. The location is great.

HungaryThe Kitchen was closed, so there was no option to warm up food if any. There was a coffee machine in the living room area but it was not working. Nothing serious or it was not something which could make us feel negative about the place, but still it would have been good if these are working
Amazing decor inside. The room was spacious and it was perfect for a family of 4. The location was nice if you are traveling by car so you dont need to worry about entering the ZTL. Free parking was available in their other facility (Hotel Villa Betania) which was 10 min walk away, but it was very good option as the car was safe. The staff in hotel was very friendly and give me map and suggestion about the city, it was very nice of him.

United KingdomOur room was next to the entrance and for that reason was a bit noisy. I was expecting a better coffee machine, the one available made only espresso. In the room only tea was available.
Loved the spacious room and the balcony. Location is perfect for a nice morning walk to the city centre. Place is sorrounded by bars and restaurants. 10 minutes walking to Boboli Gardens and Palazzo Pitti. Appreciate also the free water in the room

United StatesFor some reason, the bathroom was emitting a slight sewage smell the first day, but the room was very clean, so it might have been the old pipes of the historic building?
A lovely and relaxing atmosphere with very kind staff. I see a number of poor reviews about the wifi, but they seemed to have fixed it (or maybe added a second network so it reached all the rooms?) as it was totally fine when I was there.
