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):
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 accommodation was very clean and well presented and everything worked well, but people should be aware that there are windows only at the back and front of the apartment. In the kitchen and bathroom, the windows let in only little light as the next building is very high and only about three or four metres away. At the front the windows do look out onto the street, but this is from the bedroom! So the sitting areas have no windows. The other thing is that it is misleading to describe the apartment as having two bedrooms. There is in fact only one door into a large bedroom, with another bed in a kind of annexe with only a curtain to separate the two areas. Two bedrooms means two rooms with their own doors.
The location was great. In the middle of the pedestrianised old town, so quiet at night and only twenty five minutes walk to the Guggenheim.

GreeceWater flow in the bathroom was rather poor but again we guess that must be the case in the old district.
Ideal location if you want to stay in the historical centre: a 3-4 minute walk to the metro station, located in a quiet, yet central street, and a great chocolate shop just opposite the building for coffee and traditional sweet snacks. The extra room is perfect for a child and ok for an easy-going adult. The owner provides helpful information and is really quick at answering requests.

United StatesThe apartment is on the first floor but there is an elevator. Being an apartment, there is no housekeeping. You are responsible for throwing the garbage and washing the towels. We stayed 8 nights. I feel that if an extra set of towels are available it would be nice because there is no dryer and once the towel is washed, it won’t dried over night. I could have asked the owner about it but I didn’t. I am sure the owner will offer a solution or maybe there is a set of towels somewhere in the apartment ???? The owner operate her business well. this apartment is highly recommended. One shouldn’t be too nitpicking about little things. If you count all these good little and big things, then you realize how insignificant the little not so good things are. I stayed in an apartment in Pamplona. It was managed by a company. The response is almost nil.
The hostess was the nicest person. I didn’t meet her personally but she replied via WhatsApp. She was very helpful in every respect. The day I arrived from Santiago de Compostela. My flight was at 8:00 am. I didn’t sleep that night. The owner let me checked in before the due time. One way I had medical emergency and needed to visit an Emergency Room for advice if I can continue the trip. The owner gave me the name of a hospital and asked me if I needed a taxi and checked up on me via WhatsApp. The apartment is located in the best neighborhood. My sister and I were able to live as citizen as there were fruit stores, small meat markets, bakery, everything. This neighborhood prohibit car . There are service vehicles in the morning and noise of garbage truck but it never was a problem. The apartment is only 5 minutes away from the Metro Station. It is 2 stops to the center of the city and 4 stops to the bus station. Within zone 1 ( I think the hospital is still in zone 1 ), each ride costs something like 0.48 Euros. The owner suggested buying a transport card which can be used for multiple persons. That was a good advice. The card costs 3 euros. I paid 20 Euros for 8 nights stay and when we left, we had like 0.22 euros. The card offers a big discount so thanks to the owner for the advice. Many museums offer senior discount for those 65 and over. We got discount for the cathedral near the apartment , Guggenheim museum, etc. The kitchen is well equipped with the basic to cook meals. We cooked all our dinners there. The bathroom water is a bit slow but no problem. The lighting of the apartment is very well lit. The WiFi strong. There is a washer and a place to hang it. We did laundry a couple of times. On the day of departure, the owner offered us the option to keep our luggage at her store a few meters away which was very nice of her.

AustraliaThe water pressure in the shower is very low. There is some outside noise when people walk home from the bars late at night.
The apartment is in an excellent location in the old town and close to the fresh food covered market. The main train station and the theatre are also close. The host was very helpful and answered any of my queries immediately.

GermanyIt is too expensive for what it is - it is okay, but not worth the lots of money. It is very dark, unfortunately especially at those places for sitting and eating: You can't spend an afternoon or evening there. You can sleep quite well there, but be careful! the third bed is not in an extra room, but in a kind of niche. And no one knows what the mini rococo-imitation furniture is supposed to be.
It has the atmosphere of a flat in Bilbao Old Town. It is well equipped, and quiet at night. The Interieur is funny. Bilbao is great! We liked it very much! The flat is next to the cathedral and the river with all it has.

United KingdomThe apartment is explicitly listed as a "2-bedroom apartment". It is a ONE bedroom apartment. It is a very large bedroom, with a small side dressing area with a single bed in it, but this is NOT a separate bedroom. It simply cannot be described as a second bedroom, and it is very misleading to do this. Most of the excellent reviews are from couples who have stayed here, and indeed the bedroom is large and lovely and would be a perfect room for a couple. We were NOT a couple (older uncle and young neice) and needed a two bedroom apartment for our privacy, and found this apartment very awkward and uncomfortable. I had to use the sofa bed in the cramped living room which meant my neice had to squeeze past my bed to get to the bathroom. This was a super little apartment in many ways, but it simply should not be described as a "Two Bedroom" apartment when it only has one bedroom. Couples looking for a wonderful one-bedroom apartment in Bilbao should really consider this listing. Anyone requiring two bedrooms should really consider other places. Such a shame.
The apartment was a lovely clean apartment in the centre of Bilbao Old Town - very convenient location.
