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.).

DenmarkThe host was very kind and responded quickly, we arrived early and was allowed to check in before the check in time. Personal and professional at the same time! The apartment had everything we needed, and was cleaned to perfection. The full double bed with separate beds was very nice and of course the balcony was extraordinary.

EstoniaParking spaces are limited, it's very likely you'll need to find parking elsewhere, but there is a paid parking house nearby (8.5€ for 24 hours).
A very cozy and well-equipped apartment, a balcony with a wonderful view. The hostess is very friendly and helpful. An excellent experience!

Czech RepublicMaria is an outstanding host. Right from the start, she made us feel incredibly welcome, meeting us personally to introduce us to the area. She explained all the facilities, the strategic location of the flat, and recommended various must-see sites nearby, enriching our experience. The flat itself is a gem – it boasts an incredibly comfortable, large bed that promises a good night's sleep, giant windows that flood the space with natural light, and a breathtaking view of the ocean that is absolutely mesmerizing at sunset. Moreover, the kitchen is well-equipped, making it a joy to prepare meals with local ingredients. The cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the flat made our stay not just comfortable, but truly luxurious.

LithuaniaWe didn't use the pool area downstairs but looks like it needs refurbishing. However, nearby there are other swimming pools available.
The balcony view was superb, even better than in the photo. The location is good, within walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Car parking was really helpful. Really kind and supportive host. Room location and size is good value for money.
