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 KingdomThe process of needing to share ID, photos, and then a large deposit that takes 2 weeks to return, makes it a significantly awkward process to go through

PeruThere were light bulbs that weren't working in the living room and in the kitchen. This made the kitchen very dark. When you walked barefoot, the floor felt not well cleaned. In the main bedroom there was a constant sound (like a working engine) that never stopped. The rooms need better curtains. If you are a light-sleeper this property isn't for you.
Location was perfect. The rooms were independent of each other. The flat was spacious. The living room was nice and permitted us to share nice moments.

United KingdomWhen the party staying is more than 2 it would be useful to have a second set of keys, as not all people may be going to the same places at the same time. I asked about this beforehand and while I stayed but the local team did not get back to us. The fire alarm went off during our stay (it was the restaurant downstairs), we noticed there was not a fire exit information sheet in the flat, we did see the exit signs but have normally seen these by the front doors of other self-catering places we have stayed and hotels. A welcome book with key information would be useful as it could contain instructions for the cooker, microwave and tv/remote. The wifi was on but the password was not working, this may need to be checked as we did restart and try other methods, but it did not work. Not all the radiators work, there were portable ones left instead. The chest of drawers in room with black wallpaper has one drawer without a knob and does not open. These are all little things but if fixed would make a difference.
Overall a good experience.

GermanyThe livingroom and the bedroom towards the street were very loud because of the traffic and pubdwellers outside. We were cold at night and it took two days to get some spare blankets. We also needed a second key as we were 4 persons, that did also take two days. Communication via the callcenter was difficult.
The apartment is right in the centre of town

SwitzerlandThis apartment needs a lot of upkeep. The front door to the complex as well as the flat were difficult to open and close. The locks worked, but were hard to open and needed to be checked after they closed. The shower had a hot water, but low flow. There were A lot of dirty spots around the house. Stains on the sofas, walls, sides of the bed. There are scratches on the walls. My biggest complaint is that 3 out of 4 lights weren’t working in the kitchen, so it was dark in there. I could not find any washing powder or a clothesline to hang wet clothes after using the washing machine. I was very happy to stay here, and i felt like the things I used worked and were clean. I am just concerned about the large security deposit, and there being several “broken” or dirty items around the apartment.
the location was great. The customer service was very helpful. I feel like the price was fair when comparing to hotels in the area. There was a lot of space. The apartment was clean, in terms of bedding, bathroom, bedrooms and living areas.

United KingdomThe 20 odd minutes we had to spend on the phone getting them to give us the code to the keys. As a family party I feel like I should be able to take responsibility for my family, and they shouldn't all have to send copies of photo IDs etc. The questions they ask make it clear they don't trust you to behave badly. I am over 60. I do not rent apartments to host rowdy parties!
Excellent location. Reasonably spacious apartment.

UkraineWe came to visit Oxford for one night, and stayed in the apartment .The location is nice -because it’s quiet central. But we had many disappointments First- the noise of air conditioners outside in the master bedroom was that loud and affected me sleep badly. Second- the bathroom needs a proper refurbishing, the shower was broken. Third- we forgot some personal goods-which were important for us- after contacting the property management several times, they we’re saying to us that they will check in the apartment and call back, but nobody did. And eventually when we called again they said that it’s missing- but we definitely left it there. It was kids clothes and important cushion for my friend ( the cleaners definitely should have mentioned it is inside right? ) and they said that they have new customers till the end of June and wouldn’t be able to check properly…. Marvellous!!!

AustraliaThe noise was unbearable. There was an industrial air conditioning or something on a neighbouring property than went all the time making a very loud noise in the back room and bedroom. The street noise was extremely loud but expected and would stop after 1am so not as bad. The plates had egg on them when arrived and wasn’t properly cleaned

The apartment was beautifully decorated and well-equipped. The location was perfect and very central. We had an amazing stay and would definitely love to stay again in the future!

United KingdomBook this property at mid day on the day of arrival. The confirmation email had generic information in small print about providing photo ID but did not provide any information on how to do this. Tried to contact the property regarding access to the flat but the phone number provided in the confirmation email ran out on multiple occasions. The first contact I received from the property management team was at 20.39 that email after I've booked alternative accommodation. Phoned booking.com after requesting a refund but this will be a long process even if successful. Please avoid booking this property. It's really not worth the hassle and communication is terrible. It might be ok if the booking is a long time in advance, but I would avoid booking this place last minute at all cost.
