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.).

New ZealandUnfortunately we couldn't get in with the code we were give for the lockbox, but I contacted the host and they came immediately to sort the problem out for us, which was great. I was sleeping on a single bed which I found too hard for my liking, no complaints from my family, but other than that, it was super convenient
Loved the location, the hosts were accommodating to our slightly early arrival, the house was large, warm, spacious and comfortable and clean and well stocked. Beautiful spot by the sea and a bonus to have a car park with the accomodation.

BelgiumNot a fan of the mediocre plunger coffee. Nowadays I would expect espresso for this level of accommodation. Not sufficient plugs in master bedroom. Could be cleaner - night table was dusty with ring marks. Not a huge deal but thought you'd want to know.
Loved the location and space of the appartment. It was super comfortable and had the added bonus of the pool table. Loved the beach towels. Loved waking up to tge roaring sound of the ocean.

United KingdomOlder style property, which may not be to everyone's taste, but the facilities, service, apartment size and location make up for this.
Great communication. Fantastic location. Property was large, with a good layout. Plenty of space for a family. Good range of facilities, including a dishwasher. Great being so close to the beach. Restaurants close by. Easy access to regular bus routes into the city.

AustraliaI had a seaview apartment and found the proximity to a roaring ocean crashing on rocks all night disturbing. This, combined with light traffic right below the window and light from the street lights seeping in at the top of the blackout curtains meant three sleepless nights. Lesson learned. Will not book a seafront apartment in winter next time 🙂
Very clean apartments, right on the esplanade. Good dining options. Easy lockbox system to check in. Heating and lights were on for me when I arrived late, which was lovely. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable apartment so close to the waves you can hear them then this is the place for you.
