Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We have no objections or negative comments.
The breakfast is very varied, delicious. The good location is all a tourist can wish for. I was here last year for 21 days and now I repeated the experience for 31 days. It is a wonderful hotel, well equipped, with professional staff (both at the reception, in the kitchen and cleaning), very kind and smiling. You feel safe, rest well and enjoy the facilities offered. We will come back with pleasure.

Software is perfect, amazing crews. Hardware needs an upgrade badly - showers pleasure is weak, shower head is small and old type, the glass door of the bathroom in room 609 was not unable to close properly that caused water leaking n flooding. I hope the property management will rectify the matter.
Location is spot on, 10mins walk to V&A. Set in a modern vibe community, perfect space to wind down.

Being a fully furnished apt, I missed having washing liquid and dishwasher powder available.
The apt is spacious and very comfortable. It has a large sitting room, dining table, huge bed. The bathroom includes shower and bathtub. There's a kitchen with a full size fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. The breakfast offered is good quality and varied. And it includes hand made cappuccino, espresso, or whatever you want. Internet works well too, though not very fast.

Because one of the elevators was out of order, sometimes it took a long while for the one working elevator to arrive. And the last day, there was no hot water in the bathroom so I had to take a cold shower because I was in a hurry.
The location of the hotel was great. Close to Bree street that had a lot of restaurants, and close to the convention Center where the conference I was attending was. The hotel itself is cosy and the staff are really friendly.

It's on the border of the CBD and V&A. You go the wrong way it's not exactly safe, especially after dark.
Huge apartment for great value, it's one of the nicest places I've stayed. Enthusiastic staff and top WiFi. Easy walk to V&A and has a restaurant and coffee shop within 50m.
