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.).

PhilippinesCleanliness could be improved. They do make-up the room daily by only making-up the bed and removing the trash but you have to pay extra to get your sheets and towels changed no matter how long you stay. They did not even changed my bedsheets and towels when I extended my stay for another week and when I asked, they told me I have to pay even though the extension of my stay was a different booking.
Location was great. Very close to everything you need such as supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, bars, shopping malls, the metro station and also you could walk to Urca, Botafogo Beach and Copacabana beach from here. My room had the view of Christ the Redemeer from my balcony and window.

United KingdomNo kettle in the room. Was advertised as being an apartment but was just a basic hotel room (one tiny fridge). Paid extra for a view but that was minimal. Breakfast was expensive for what was on offer so did not pay for it.

BrazilI liked the property very much But to improve next time, it would be good to know where to put the rubbish. Needed instructions on how to operate the TV. The windows in the kitchen and bathroom. I wasn't sure if people could see in. There was nowhere to dry clothes. It said 'private beach'. This might be a mistake. It didn't matter though because the sea and beach was a very short walk.
The host made me feel really welcome. I arrived early, so I was allowed me to leave my bags whilst the room was being cleaned. Then they took my bags to the room for me. A special touch was that they provided complimentary local snacks and drinks. I liked how it felt 'homely' and had little details like real plants and some artificial plants. There was an iron and ironing board, a clock, kitchen towels, lots of cooking utensils, cups, plates and cutlery, etc. Even magnets on the fridge of where to go and where to eat. I liked the no 'key system'. This made it so much easier going in and out plus you don't have to worry about losing your key or handing it back at checkout. There was a lift and security cameras plus a 24-hour security guard downstairs The space was laid out like a proper home.

BrazilThe room's furniture was a little old, the hotel's guests felt sketchy, the location is not super safe, but the hotel compensates with security tools such as elevators with access keys. I would not describe the place as family friendly.
The front desk service was very friendly. The hotel also has a self-service laundry. The Gym is well equiped. The pool is also nice, but sunlight exposure by the pool is limited to specific hours.

GermanyI stayed here for 3 weeks (2 differents bookings). The 1st week I stayed in Apart 401, the view was good, but VERY SLOW WIFI! The 2-3 weeks I stayed in 1103, the air-conditioning did not work properly (not really cold air) so that it was HOT in the apartment. But with greater view! Ridiculous was the rule: within 14 days there was no change of bedsheets. It is said, you had to pay it extra! There is no difference if you stay for 1 night or 1 month, they give you only one time bed sheets. If you need fresh ones, sorry, you have to pay! It seems the management has a big problem. I really dislike the customer service (they sit somewhere in Brazil and offers customer services allover Brazil, they have other properties, not only this one in Botafogo).
The location is very good, abou 5min walk from metro station Botafogo (best taking Exit E). Apart No. from 01 to 06 has great view to Christo Hill. which I like very much. The apartment itself is a bit old and overused, but still modern enough. The people at reception was always very friendly.

A view at the first place. It was a direct view at the statue of Christ. And part of Rio as well. Guys at desk were attentive. Helped us to print boarding passes for next point of travel and advice regarding money exchange.
