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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

NetherlandsSmall things missing ...something to do dishes with, a brush/cloth. Also, we have become accustomed, at Air B&B locations, that there wouls always be items, left by owners or previous tenants, that we could use to cook, prepare meals or use. Left over spices, sugar, salt/pepper and the like, that we could use and perhaps add to, but, NOTHING was there. Felt like a 'hotel' room while we booked an Air B&B. Disappointing also given price we paid.
Location was excellent.

CanadaThis property needs some TLC. It just looks very old and tired. The blinds are half broken, the AC either does not work or is not there so the place heats up very quick. The TV did not really work it tries to stream but it freezes so it is not really useful. The caulking in the bathroom needs attention. The real downer is the paid parking which if you are paying over $600 per night seems like a bit of nickel and dimming to me.
The location is phenomenal - the secured parking is great too. It's generally very quiet and comfortable. The host is super friendly and great and very easy to interact with. The internet connection is fast and works great but the TV steaming is useless.

United StatesThis unit had a funny layout with a lot of unusable space compared to a unit we rented in the adjacent tower earlier this year. One of the bathrooms smelled moldy and the hallway carpet could use a steam cleaning.
Great location within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, beach and Stanley Park. Quiet building without many neighbors. Well stocked with kitchen gadgets, but would appreciate salt and pepper and other spices.

United KingdomFittings were well worn and carpets dirty. No air conditioning in bedrooms which were very hot with full length windows in full sun all day and blinds that were defective. Marketing information is misleading and whilst pictures may not have been the actual apartment we were offered, all the pictures showed apartments that were a far better standard than ours. The address given for the property in the advertising was in a next door block to where we were allocated and sounded acceptable and relatively quiet for a city centre. Our actual apartment was on a very noisy corner with late opening bars and restaurants below.
The location was excellent.

United StatesSee above
The unit we got had paint fumes from recent renovation that was done hair before we arrived. The paint and chemical fumes never abated the entire week despite us getting fans and keeping windows open to air out the fumes. Caused terrible headaches. Asked for another apartment and told they were full. We had changed our reservations from a prior booking but I’d they had told us that the apartment would be renovated just prior to our stay we would not have picked that date. Although staff was nice and very helpful - renting out a property with fresh paint and construction fumes that won’t abate is unacceptable. All They did was waive the $100 rebooking fee. The price to stay in such an intolerable accommodation was unreasonable. Location is great however but would never rent from Dunowen again and would dissuade anyone else from doing so.

United StatesWe found the beds extremely uncomfortable. Also, the furniture, drapes, etc. were torn or damaged, and honestly need to be refreshed. Unfortunately, the TV did work well while we were there. While the host was very responsive when we mentioned it, the issue was not resolved. Given that it rained half the time we were there, we found ourselves indoors quite a bit, and television would have been a nice source of entertainment. Finally, it was a little weird that we were advised not to speak with neighbors.
Location is great. We were able to walk to most places, or walk to public transit to get to other parts of the city. While numerous restaurants are available, we found that it was the same kind of food immediately around the facility.

United StatesPicture of the apartment on Booking.com was not at all representative of the bare-bones apartment we were given. There was no soap for anything but the dishwasher. There were no paper products but very thin, poorly made toilet paper.
Staying in downtown Vancouver. Everything worked well. Clean but old; showing signs of wear and tear (literally). Instructions were clear and easy to understand.
