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 StatesI couldn't use the bathroom sink because the plug at the bottom of the sink was stuck and wouldn't open. It was only a minor inconvenience because I could easily use the bathtub for brushing my teeth.
Great location, comfy beds and total privacy. Just two blocks from the Central T-station and I had the entire upstairs to myself. And it was super easy to get the key from the lockbox.

TaiwanI didn't expect the temperature in Boston in June would lower than 10 degree Celsius, so I didn't bring enough cloths. Although it's warm in the house, but it was not suitable for sightseeing :(
The location is excellent, very close to the subway station and bus stops, restaurants, supermarket, and pharmacy. The landlord was nice and waited for me to open the door and give me the keys, even my flight was 2-hour late and arrived the house closed to the midnight. In addition, the landlord was very enthusiastic about providing shopping information since I come from abroad. ALthough this accommodation didn't inclue dining, the landlord provides a lot of food in the refrigerator for me. Definitely will book it again next time I come to boston.

United StatesI can highly recommend this accommodation, especially if you are a sole traveler and like walking. It is located in a very nice and quiet residential area, but you'll still have everything you need (grocery shops, cafes, different eateries, etc.) nearby. Also, you don't really need to rely on public transport to explore either Cambridge or quite a few areas in Boston (Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and downtown, in particular), as they are easily reachable on foot. Last but not least, Iris is a fantastic host: she's very responsive, helpful, and nice, and the room is in great condition (incl. a fully functional AC and very speedy wifi).
