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.).

TurkeyIt would have been nice if the place was a little cleaner.
The location of the facility, just a 10-minute walk from the train station, was a great advantage for us. The host was amazing — she introduced us around the city, and helped us with anything we needed. We really liked the coffee and snacks served in the mornings. We would like to thank her sincerely for all of these and would definitely recommend the facility to anyone wanting to stay here.

SpainThe building is old so there are a few creeks from the plumbing, a little noise from traffic outside and an old fashioned lift to the apartment. These things didn’t bother us, but added to the charm. It didn’t affect our stay in the least.
Good size room, bed comfortable. An easy walk to the train station and centre of Florence. The host was lovely and gave us lots of recommendations for places to visit, restaurants and local customs and specialties. Would definitely revisit.

GermanyWe arrived on a very hot day, but the room was airconditioned. We loved our balcony and the possibility to use a shared fridge. The room was clean and our host Rosa welcomed us with a map and detailed infos about all the important sights. Even though we hadn't booked breakfast, Rosa made us the best espresso every morning. The accommodation was just 10 Min by foot away from the station and 20 Min to the city centre (cathedral) so we walked a lot. Another fact we loved: The other guest were mainly real Italians and less tourists so we could practice our little Italien skills. ;)

United StatesI understand the use of motion activated lighting to save energy, but a dark stairwell feels less inviting. The old fashioned elevator was a lovely alternative and it worked well.
The host was kind and helpful, she offered to get my trolley ticket the morning I left. The room is quiet and airy, the amenities were just right. So nice to have a balcony- I could see the moon rise!
