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 KingdomThere was initially only one bedside table and light in the bedroom, which seemed odd, although the team did find another table and lamp. The air conditioning was either off or blowing an intermittent gale in the bedroom, Greater control of fan speed would have been appreciated. There was a random selection of kitchen equipment- one large pan, one giant stockpot, nutribullet and cocktail making kit but no frying pan- although every thing was good quality.
The flat was a great size and well designed. Mid-century style furniture. We got a decent-sized living room with comfortable sofa, kitchen area, bathroom, bedroom and washer/dryer, so loads of space. There was a kettle along with coffee equipment so we could make tea, but no teapot :-( The location was good, near Macy's, an organic supermarket and a Trader Joe's. The reception desk staff were unfailingly helpful and keen to make our stay a good one.

United StatesThe only blemish I could think of is navigating the parking garage (finding it and finding our way out) was a little tricky, but nothing too bad.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a fantastic location, with easy access to parking and restaurants. The rooms themselves were nicely decorated and clean. It is not a high-end luxury facility, but you are not paying for one so don't expect it. Perfect for business, or as a couple spending a night in the city!

South AfricaI would have liked more frequent cleaning to be included in the price rather than once a week but I managed fine. If you need a space to work then I’d fork out for a unit with the den as it was very difficult to work for long periods at the kitchen counter or the coffee table.
Awesome modern apartment in a perfect location with all the amenities you need. I’ll be using Roost East Market for all my business trips going forward.

United KingdomThe property is modern, well appointed and clean. The additional amenities were excellent. The cinema room, yoga studio and gym were amazing. And, though I didn’t get to use it, the heated pool was large and clean. The staff were the politest and engaging crew I have met in the US. Very authentic, not the “I’m kind because I hope you’ll tip me” type. Frank was a consummate concierge, ready to suggest places to go, food to eat - each place was absolutely spot-on. I’ll definitely return soon!

New ZealandI was taken aback at first by the long term residents’ walking about with their dogs in the building. It was fine after that when I got used to it.
Staff were helpful, I appreciate Jacklyn and Robert at reception, helpful and friendly. Aminath was really good and went all the way out to assure me my payments were correct, took time to explain and talk to me. My apartment at 502 was great, clean, great views, great natural lights from windows on both sides of the room. Kitchen is well equipped. Bed and pillows were comfy. Location is excellent.

NetherlandsThe apartment is very well equipped with real kitchen (range, dishwasher fridge/freezer, toaster, coffee machine, water boiler), washer/dryer, decorations even real plants. Floor to ceiling windows so very luminous. Amenities are great, with outside heated pool, fitness+studio, several rooms where you can spend time relaxing, even a guest kitchen and outdoor BBQs. Staff is great, very attentive, we were helped to change apartment for one with a desk. And location is very good, 1 block from food shopping, 3 blocks to city hall and Reading Terminal market. Parking garage in same block.

United StatesSo I know this may sound weird and I don't think I ever will say it again but the water pressure was on another level, at least in room 707. Like it had absolutely no chill. Additionally, I must say that the toiletries smelled great but don't even bother with the lotion. It is essentially scented water. Like my shirts still smell great BUT I was needing to moisturize my hands again before I finished with my legs.
I really enjoyed the location, it is a block away from the Jefferson station and there are many restaurants near by. It was nice to have all the amenities of home, inclusive of in-unit laundry. Speaking of amenities, there are no complaints regarding the Wi-Fi or gym facilities. One of the biggest things the property has going for it though is the phenomenal customer service. Specifically want to thank Jazz and Alea (you a real one) for the AMAZING hospitality and suggestions while I was in town. I am including a picture of the hand drawn map Alea gave me to help ensure I got to places.

United StatesOur room didn't have a coffee grinder, although the staff offered to bring one up. By then we didn't need it so all good. Oh, the pillows were…not awesome. I'd definitely recommend replacing them.
We were just in for a quick weekend, but everything was lovely. It was great to have the Bose or Sonos (I can't remember) speaker for listening to music. The kitchen had everything we needed. All members of the staff at the front desk were helpful and friendly.
