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.).

GermanyThe blinds etc don't block enough light and there are lights in the room that can't be turned off, so it's quite bright in the morning and due to street lights also at night.
It's a great and very spacious place in a pretty central location. The staff is super responsive and very helpful.

FranceThe apartment was on the ground floor of a building on a quiet street, quite easy to find and within walking distance of the centre and the bus stop for the airport. It was immaculately clean, comfortable and well equipped with oven, microwave oven, coffee machine and also a kettle (extra marks for this so we could make a cup of tea,). The linen was of very good quality. Aircon was much appreciated in the heat. The owner sent us some helpful recommendations for restaurants nearby. We would definitely recommend Candia Strata.

NorwayThere were no utensils for cooking. There was an induction stove but no pans. It was really hard if you planned to cook. It would be challenging if you stayed for a longer time and won't be able to cook.
The location was good. The best part is the AC. There was one in the living room and 1 in the bedroom. It really helps, especially because it was really hot outside due to the heatwave. The hosts were also responsive.

ItalyI didn't feel safe because the codes for the room and the front door was similar and really simple-intuitives and also you can open the outside door without the code just inserting your hand through the fence. There was no possibility to leave the luggage to the reception and the host suggested us to leave the luggage in a cabinet next to our room but there was no possibility to lock the cabinet and you can access easily just opening the fence in the way I described. The mattress need to be changed
The room seems clean, the air conditioned was perfectly working, the bathroom was perfect and the host was available.

ChadFollowing our stay at « Candia Stera hotel » we would like to notify you with the following dysfunctions, unknown from our side when we booked through booking.com, and nowhere indicated on the ad on booking.com : 1- first of all the apartment was unfinished at different locations ( bathroom, room1). We have took some photos of the holes and tubes. 2- Second point , as the appartement was unfinished we had the visit of workers in third floor which is in messy situation ( rubbles, building material…). Adding to this the rooftop was not secured. 3- third point will be about hygiene and cleansing. The room has not been made … and unfortunately we found cockroaches in the bathroom by night … it was a terrifying experience as one of us is phobic. 4. The hotel did not have a frontage, making it difficult for us to find it. And it is not a hotel but an Airbnb, as no cleaning was done during our stay. As said before, the unfinished statuts of this appartement and building has not be notify in the Booking.com annonce and hygiene problems are not acceptable. After our stay we contacted the rent agency to discuss with them these problems, they said that we were blackmailing them to not pay the price. It's a shame to show pictures that are not correct. I want a refund because the price is high for this apartment which is not even worth half.
