How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The last night, wifi did not work, though I needed to work. But that's fine. Just a small hiccup
The complete facilities and warm host. The neighborhood is very safe! It is near to my conference venue as well. The car park area is just right. The host is always responsive and can help in many ways.

The bathroom towels should have been white. Towels are known to carry bacteria. White ensures bleaching and other sanitary precautions.
Because it is located so close to the highway, there was the constant noise of traffic but it wasn't overwhelming.

What I didn’t like was I reached the apartment late and my flight was 4.25 pm the next day and had to check out at 11am . Had to sit and wait at the airport for hours where as I would of liked to pay a little extra until closer to my flight.
Didn’t receive breakfast.

I arrived at Barbados Airport on January 3rdand the driver for Malfranza Apartments picked me up with a sign. I believe it was the son of the owner who I met when I arrived and gave me a key and showed me the room. No sign of anyone else around at Malfranza Apartments. The driver said he would be back at 10 am on January 4th. Only one bottle of water. Ice tray in small refrigerator had water but no ice. AC was adequate. I woke up cold during the night and only a sheet on the bed I went and grabbed a towel to help stay warm and turned off the AC. I asked the son when I arrived about getting coffee and some food in the morning as I am diabetic. He pointed to around the corner. Around 8 am the next day I tried to get out of the electronic gate but did not know the code. I thought I would ask around the other rooms but quickly realized I was the only person on the property. I thought to myself I should have made sure someone was on the premises 24 hours a day. After 45 minutes I started walking around the property and found a small side gate that opened. The son had told me the previous night he would be around 9 or 9:30 to show me where I could get coffee. When the driver had not shown up at 10 am I panicked as I was scheduled to get on an Oceania Cruise in a few hours. I started going around the neighborhood asking for people I could pay to take me to the airport. Around 10:15 am the son showed up and said I came to tell you that the driver would not be able to come until 10:30 am. Finally the driver showed up at 10:30 am and said he had told the son to inform me about the late pickup. The driver did get me to the airport in time. I would never stay at Malfranza Apartments again as they have very little to offer. Mary Ann K.

Owner waited until our arrival day to tell us he had booked us elsewhere. He should have refunded our payment and allowed us to find our own place. The beds were foam mattresses with no toppers. The pillows were foam. I'm sure we were put in a cheaper place to make him a profit.
Not much

As an international traveller I would like to have had some tea, coffee and milk available. The nearest shopping is over a km away up a bust 4 lane motorway without a footpath.
