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.).

AustraliaAs a shorter person it was a bit tricky reaching the microwave as it was high & in a bit of an awkward position over the bench, but I got there.
Room clean. Bed very comfy. Kitchen had everything I needed. Toiletries provided were great & the body wash & lotion were a lovely scent. Like how you can just ask at front desk if you need anything topped up. My room location was really nice, basement level and backing on with access to the garden. Great amount of PowerPoints in the flat. Tv worked well. Reception staff nice and friendly.

CanadaThe design of the kitchen is for tall people. I'm 5'2 and it's a significant challenge getting the toaster and kettle down from the high shelves, and reaching the sink to do dishes. Also, no lift so this time I was lugging my suitcase up and down 4 flights of stairs on my own. There's also no cleaning unless you stay 7 nights so prepare to clean the room and wash dishes yourself, and change towels at reception every couple of days.
Inexpensive, clean, great location, and has everything you need.

United KingdomWhen we stayed, the building frontage was covered in scaffolding - this came as a surprise but it wasn't a problem apart from about 30mins of noise pre-9am when we woke up, and the scaffolding obscured the views a bit. The hotel generally and including our room was a bit rough around the edges (e.g. chipped/peeling paint in places, some limescale/mould in the shower door) but it didn't affect our stay. We'd happily stay here again.
Reception staff were great and super helpful. We arrived a few hours early and they kindly let us check into our room, and gave us a choice of floor to stay on. They explained there was no lift so we were prepared for the stairs when we chose the 3rd floor. They also let us leave our bags when we departed the next day. There was a lovely outdoor garden area available for guests. Our room had plenty of space, the bed and pillows were comfy, it was (almost always) very quiet and had nice views over a park area and tennis courts. Nice layout and decor in the room too

United KingdomThough the Studios provide guests with excellent information about the local area some instructions for the appliances like the microwave and oven would have been useful as we found ourselves guessing what the oven symbols meant! Also the lighting could have been brighter for cooking purposes.
We used to live in Zone 4 outer London before moving to Scotland and found this location ideal for a London visit as it was near a bit of everything London has to offer but only a short walk from the mainline station we arrived at and left from. Discovering that it was affordable to stay somewhere like Cartwright Gardens rather than a identikit chain hotel on a main road was a wonderful surprise. We were at the back of the building so it was exceptionally quiet and peaceful for London. If you are not very good with narrow stairs ask for a room on the Ground Floor or First Floor. Being able to cook our own food was far more convenient and a lot cheaper and healthier than eating out all the time. Unlike many similar self catering apartments we've stayed in there was a proper hob and oven as well as a kettle, toaster and microwave. The staff on reception were super helpful even arranging for a light bulb to be changed in our room. Being able to leave our bags at reception after checking out on our last morning before catching our train home meant we were able to fit in seeing another exhibition.

CroatiaThe smell in the bathroom (also small) was like someone constantly frying onion and there were little flies in there all the time. The bed was comfortable, but a bit small, there's place for a little bit bigger bed. The TV is fixed so we couldn't plug our Google Chromecast, so we watched British TV which was fine also. Everything else was great.
The location is perfect for a first time visit, near almost every line of the underground. At walking distance from Soho. The apartment is small, but equipped with a full kitchen and utilities. The window opens.

PolandThe kitchen accessories were not so clean. I am not a fan of the window blind. I think the water valve in the shower is probably not working correctly, bc it changes from very hot to very cold water immediately.
I liked the location, having a kitchinette with a fridge and a heater. It's also nice that you can do the laundry, bc washing machines and dryer are available to use between 8-20.
