Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaThe check in procedure is quite complicated and tedious. We had to give details on every guest staying in apartment. But in saying this it helped to avoid having to collect the key at another location. The showers are great but very slippery. A lot of noise from the street and apartments upstairs and downstairs, but this is to expected when in the Centre of a large city.
The location is great, right in the center of Barcelona. Everything is a few stops away. Great bakeries to pop down to, restaurants and grocery stores. La Ramblas a few minutes walk. On a Vibey and busy street, with 2 small balconies. Kitchen is well equipped and the apartment is beautifully designed. The hosts were very helpful and quick to answer any queries I had.

BulgariaThe whole building is solely comprised of rental units, leading to constant stream of people coming and going and consequently creating noise, including some parties as well which is really unacceptable. If you`re a light sleeper, perhaps not the best place for you to stay in.
Good appartement, very centrally located with all necessary amenities inside.

United States of AmericaThe bedroom windows open into the center of the complex where people have dumped garbage and cigarette butts, so only the windows to the street are nice for fresh air. Their kitchen was not adequately supplied to do any cooking (for example no spatulas/wooden spoons for stirring). There were no kitchen towels or even paper towels, which was frustrating. There was not sufficient toilet paper for the stay, so we purchased our own paper products. The constant notifications about paying the deposit before check-in was annoying, as they started sending them a week before check-in when we were already traveling and managing other travel plans at the same time. No other property harassed us like that.
The location is excellent and the apartment is quite large with lots of privacy for the guests in both bedrooms. The rooms and common areas are all separated by the hallway and solid doors, so no worries about waking up others if you are on different sleep schedules. The apartment is very clean and comfortable.

United KingdomThe key pad broke and we couldn’t get in late at night, felt a bit intimidated but was replaced in the morning. The quiet hours were not obeyed, people directly above were extremely noisy.. came back Sunday morning at 5.30, rang the external buzzers constantly, ran up the stairs hammering on the internal door. Very intimidating but overall everything the accommodation offered we needed to a high standard
Great contact from hosts, answered all my silly questions and were patient and helpful

The whole apartment is absolutely gorgeous we couldn’t have asked for anything better, from the location to the interior it felt very cosy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. We were provided with anything we could need during our stay which was 10/10.

United KingdomNot enough lightings in the kitchen/lounge. One of the days that we were out, festive chocolates were put on the dining table with a greetings note. We did not expect anyone to come in the apartment during our stay when the kids and us had all our electronics lying about, personal things and expensive shoppings within clear view. Fortunately, nothing was missing.
Very comfortable apartment and very centrally located, everything is within walking distance (shopping, La Rambla, museums, beach etc) All queries were attended promptly.

United KingdomA real hassle to register everyone on the app - took an hour for 4 people and seemed like massive overkill. The keycard on the app didn’t work until almost 3.30 despite being told it would activate from 3pm, but luckily had gone to collect a hard copy after reading reviews on here (worth doing in case of phone/app failure) No tea towels or oven cloths which is stupid when you provide a kitchen - had to use bath towels to take things out of the oven! Would be helpful to provide basics like salt, pepper and oil too. Having to empty the bins was weird too, don’t see why the cleaners can’t do this?
Amazing apartment - nicely, stylishly decorated in a beautiful old building. Beds were super comfy, lots of towels etc and bathrooms were great. Liked having a dishwasher and Netflix! Location was great, reasonably easy to find and in a handy location near all the good stuff. Felt safe too. Really impressed.

LuxembourgThe check in process is very laborious & in my opinion goes far above what should be required for an apartment rental. For example every person having to take selfies with your passport is excessive!

United KingdomThere was only 2 of us on this trip. The apartment was for 4 people but the living area would have been a little too cosy for 4. The taxi dropped us off a short walk away but it's not very well signed and when we did find the apartments we were told by someone going in that the reception was in a different location, only a short walk but I don't think was made very clear. Everyone was great when we did get there though.
The apartment had everything we needed for the 3 days we were there. Plenty of fresh towels, an extra quilt, welcome pack with tea, milk, washing liquid etc. Comfy bed and decent bathrooms. The location was great, right in the centre of the gothic quarter, close to bars and restaurants and a short walk from Le Rambles but quiet at night. Beautiful old building too.

The catalan vaulted ceiling covering the whole apartment was amazing for us. The balconies in the apartment overlooks the hustle & busy pedestrian street which was also very interesting. Overall, we definitely felt the Ola feeling of living in the city.
