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.).

GermanyA nice plus would have been a dishwasher but that is cosmetics only…
It was a very nice experience to stay in Balestrate again. Innocenzo and Grazia were very friendly. Their hospitality and the comfortable appartment with a beautiful view on the sea made our stay a perfect time. We will come back soon.

The property is in a excelent location on a sandy beach. Only one kilometer to the city center. The owner's pizzeria is near by apartments but this did not prevent you from enjoying your vacation.

SlovakiaThe host was excellent and very helpful all the time, he picked us up at airport as agreed, handed us keys from the apartment, we also rented a car through him which was great. Host also addressed all our additional requests and was very helpful all the time. The apartment is literally 20 steps from the beach and right next to it is the restaurant owned by the same family, which had excellent menu, we used it almost every day. All in all I can highly recommend this place as its right next to the beach (public beach with free of charge entry and free sunbeds / umbrellas, which is definitely a plus), with close-by restaurant. The town centre of Balestrate with shops, bakery, supermarket etc. is bit further away so I would definitely recommend suggesting renting a car. Also, while the beach is sandy, the way into the sea is with rocks / stones, so not absolutely suitable for very small children unless you want to keep them in the small beach / sea pools right at the entry to the sea. So very good experience for us (three kids - 15/15/10 year old) and would recommend for anyone.

United KingdomAlthough the location of the property was close to the sea, the beach itself is dirty and not maintained. The bathroom needs some refresh as it was fairly moldy.
Friendly staff. Seamless check in and check out. And the apartment was clean. Peaceful location, not that many tourists. The property has its own beach chairs w/umbrellas for free to use for its guests.

NorwayNot sure if we were given the most modern of apartments with some things needing updating. For example terrace door and blinds were not working and some of the draws were in disrepair. Could have needed some more power outlets and the water pressure in the kitchen was very low.
The location by the beach was certainly a plus an we had a second floor apartment facing the sea. The AC was definitely a requirement staying in the middle of heat wave. The adjacent restaurant was invaluable when we didn't want to go into town and there was parking right outside.
