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.).

FranceThere was no private bathroom but a shared one. The door room was only protected by a padlock which wasn't properly fixed to the wall, so anyone could have forced the door easily. There was a double mattress which made the bed too soft and pretty uncomfortable.
Calm apartment and neighborhood.

United KingdomMy wife and I stayed here recently. The location is convenient if you have a car, and the free parking is definitely a plus. We paid £20 for an early check-in at 11 a.m. The bathroom had a bathtub, but oddly no shower — which left me wondering why you’d install a tub but skip the shower. 😄 They did provide bath soap, bath balls, and other toiletries, just no actual shower. 😄 The room had a TV, but unfortunately no remote. The bedside lamp was brighter than the main ceiling light, which was an unexpected twist. 😄

United StatesThe space between bed and wall was so narrow on front and one side I kept knocking stuff off wall and desk. The bathroom down the hall was kind of inconvenient being outside the room but at least there is a shower that is only for use by this particular room. It is a real long distance from the center of edinburgh (over a mile and a 1/2) you'll need a taxi.
The security is good. There is a corner market about 6 blocks but only open til 8pm. No restaurants within a block. A college dorm basically just as advertised.

United StatesIt can be noisy outside at night. This obviously has nothing to do with the property owner. I’m a single traveler (47 yo female, from the US) and I was not bothered at all with the facilities. The bathtub was quite nice since they aren’t so big in the states. I’m tall and loved having a big bathtub.
This property was clean, the bed was comfortable, and a decent walk to and from the tram. The owner was easy to communicate with and answered my messages through Booking.com almost immediately. I missed my flight out and came a day late and was able to book an extra day with no problem. Uber is very convenient and I felt safe.

Czech RepublicPrivate bothroom - only bath WITHOUT SHOWER TUB (this is something what you usually dont expect, I havent seen a bath without shower for ages), so we had to use shared bathroom with shower. Flat in general clean (including bathroom) but its very visible that the owner doesnt invest in the flat much (old furniture (even small cheap things are old), badly working kettle). For one night before departure ok. Residential area, one room in the flat (its more in AirBnB style, not for booking, we shared the flat with other people (maybe guests, maybe owners) - for cheap AirBnB ok - our room had locker at the door. 800m from tram stop, so ok to get to the airport
Easy communication and flexibility with the owner.

United KingdomThe behavior of the staff. While we asked where to take drinking water from or if there was a kitchen or any facility, as it was quite late when we checked it at night, they told us to fill our bottle from the bathroom!!! Being utterly disappointed we had to go out and search if any supermarket was open at that time. Fortunately, Lidl was nearby, and was open until then and we bought water. Moreover, the staff don't understand English properly. There were 2 of them at the property. One of them doesn't know how to speak English nor does she understand.
The room was clean and the location was good as well.

AustraliaThere was no shower in the ensuite and no TV in the room. The security was poor - the door to my room could not be locked from the inside and while I was asleep, another guest opened the door and came in when they mistook my room for theirs. The owner did apologise to me the next day, which was appreciated.
The room and ensuite was comfortable and clean.

United KingdomThe flat block looked like it was in a rough part of town, a bit dirty on the outside. A shower would have been useful in the bathroom. The lock on the bedroom door was very poor quality and was half falling out of the door, only small padlock on this lock which could have easily have been broken into. There were tea bags provided but no coffee, sugar, or milk and although there were a couple of small cups provided, no spoons were supplied. When the owner came in we tried to ask her about milk but she couldn't speak English and asked us to speak the question into her phone which didn't work, luckily the couple next door gave us some milk for our tea in the morning.
Room was clean and a reasonable size and had own toilet and bathroom, bed was comfy.

United KingdomDid not get access to property as owner never gave clear instructions on how to pick up keys. I was sent 2 photos of keys/ location of keys but no number which block they were located. No code for key box. Phoned owner 11 times when at location to aks which block flat was but never answered. I also emailed owner but no reply. I contacted booking.com for help but they were not able to resolve this. Basically paid just over £100 for 1 night stay and ended up had to head back home to Glasgow after theatre show in Edingburgh. Poor service from owner. It could have been avoided if owner had replied to my email and calls on the day.
