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.).

SpainThe photos are not accurate. The property consists of two apartments, ours was on the ground floor and did not have any balcony as shown in the pictures In addition, there was a strong humidity smell and as it is an street level is really noisy
The location is great if you have a car and plan to visit different locations on the island The apartment is small but enough for two persons, with everything you need to cook there The guest is also super nice and responsive

NetherlandsThe bedroom is attached to the restaurant so there is a bit of noise between 9.30 and 10.30 pm when they are cleaning and closing. The wifi was on and off at time. The tv screen with blue strips. You have to hold the shower, the hook is missing
Place is great you are at the harbour and feel the atmosphere. Feel back in the past. Love location and attached to the Atlantico restaurant. The walk along the ocean and at the harbour are great

ItalyThe duplex apartment we’ve been given: - overlooks the street and is at the ground floor beside a restaurant. At night, people queue up and talk in front of the restaurant and a nasty smell of fried food comes in the house. - It is not possible to close the windows to avoid noise and weird smell because the apartment is very hot, humid, and not equipped neither with AC nor with a simple fan. When we raised the problem of the heat and humidity in the house to the landlord, she replied saying that there is a dehumidifier. -This dehumidifier is a very old one. We decided to use it just to dry our clothes because there is other way to do that since the house is humid and the only light comes from a busy street just in front of the window. At some point, the dehumidifier started to overflow the water in the bathroom with the water accumulated in it. -had cockroaches and other non-identified insects in the kitchen and in the bathroom. -toilet fan broken (no windows in the toilet and strong humidity). -hand shower holder broken. -level of cleanliness in the bathtub very low. -people (probably fisherman) talking in front of the windows starting from 7AM almost every day. -light in the bedroom broken. Probably the pictures presented in the advert put together those of the apartment we have been given plus those ones of another apartment (with a balcony that attract the interest of the customers). For the reasons mentioned above, we claimed a reimbursement for this unpleasant situation and draw the attention of booking.com to this type of case that resembles very much to a fraud. Please consider the other customers’ feedback that had the same experience.
Absolute scam, avoid it

SwitzerlandWindows faced a noisy, dirty port, where the stench of oil and diesel filled the air day and night, workers shouting loud. The noise was unbearable, even after midnight, with the constant clanging from the dock making sleep impossible. The flimsy, transparent curtains were useless against the glaring lights of the port. To make matters worse, the apartment was adjusted to a restaurant. The noise from the terrace attached to our terrace of this flat was relentless – clattering dishes, loud conversations, and late-night cleanups that went on for hours. Even with closed windows we suffered past midnight cleaning noise and voices of the staff. Both bedrooms faced a narrow, airless shaft with a grimy wall as the only view. The lack of ventilation was suffocating due to lack of air circulation (shaft) and alleviated the stifling heat and humidity. Not only this apartment is horrible, the owner requests such a high price for it, we had 2 other apartments during our stay at this island, they were double size, with swimming pool, just fantastic and guess what, they had a cheaper price per night than this disaster. I strongly urge anyone considering this apartment to think twice. Consider that slightly positive reviews show only pictures of sea, towels or decorations. Read other good reviews with photos. Do not fall for the misleading photos and false promises, read all the reviews. This place is a health hazard, a scam, and an utter disgrace. Save yourself the nightmare – stay far, far away!
In all our years of traveling, we have never encountered an apartment as horrible as this one. I write this review to warn other guest from it. Our family with children endured one agonizing night, but by morning, we were so exhausted from the stifling air (no air conditioner, old building), humidity, stench, and relentless noise that we packed our bags and left. We had paid for 6 nights over 1600 EUR (over 260 EUR per night), but it was worth to loose all this money, bu just to escape that nightmare. Imagine how utterly disgusting this apartment must be for our family to choose to lose that money rather than spend another minute in it. The owner of this apartment is a complete fraud. She deliberately misled people with deceptive photos that don’t reflect the true, horrendous condition of the place. She hid the fact that the apartment is unbearably noisy due to its proximity to a bustling restaurant, a busy port, and constant traffic. The noise from crowds rushing to the port and the clamor of machinery was relentless, making it impossible to relax or sleep until 1-2 a.m. Despite our concerns raised in advance, she downplayed the issues and refused to tell us the truth about how unbearable it would be to stay here. By the way, we had duplex, and by chance we have looked into flat at the ground floor… my God, tiny, wet, stinks beyond imagination, hot.. where to stop. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by an infestation of ants. Yes, ants in large group crawling across the table. The furniture was old, with a pervasive smell of mold and dampness that made it impossible to breathe comfortably. The beds were a cruel joke – cheap, hard mattresses thrown on wooden pallets. After just one night, our entire family was in agony from back pain. The fan was caked with layers of dirt, completely non-functional. There was no air conditioning, leaving us to suffer in a hot, humid, and musty environment that felt more like a dungeon than a home.
