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.).

United KingdomThe building felt a bit shabby and probably had not been redecorated inside or outside since the photos in the listing date stamped 2015. All the chairs were hard and upright except for a single bed in the living area that wasn't a sofa bed and because of a rail along the edge was difficult to get comfortable on when sitting. The redundant washing machine near the entrance doesn't give a good first impression.
Lovely sea view. Well equipped and the equipment and shower worked well. The host was very helpful. It was a quiet area in early November.

HungaryWould be nice to have a proper wine opener and some basic stuff like washing up liquid and salt. The rest of the equipment was ok.
Very nice panorama from the terrace. It was the best to enjoy the meals from there :) The apartment was just like expected.

PolandVery helpful owner. Francesco provided us with all required information already before the arrival. He actually warned us about tough public transportation and suggested renting a car, but as we were a bit terrified reading everywhere how Sicilians are driving we decided to leave this idea and use buses or trains. There are only few buses daily to the city centre and by foot this is few kilometres (actually climbing as Acireale is located on the hill). We tried once to go down from the city centre and do not recommend as it is very dangerous due to very narrow streets and no pedestrian walkway. We mostly used taxi to the train station (15€ during the day and 20 in the evening). By rail the connection to Taormina or Siracusa is very convenient and low budget (6-9€). Same about travelling to/from Catania, even from the airport (3-4€). When it comes to the house - seems to be typical Sicilian location. Kitchen well equipped, A/C in both bedrooms, cool terrace! We had two sunbeds, garden umbrella and garden table with chairs. And the lemon garden…We could eat as much as we can. They were really, really tasty. Never tasted such good ones ever before. All in all, we had a great experience over there, but are a bit disappointed on the location.

MaltaThe location is amazing! Away enough from busy roads but still close to the beach, restaurant and a supermarket. We especially loved the views both in the morning when the greenery and the tiny fishing boats out at sea can be appreciated. The twinkling lights of the towns close by were another lovely scene in the evening
