Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

CanadaWhat's not obvious in the pictures is that it is a room converted into a studio... But it's still just one massive apartment subdivided into small studios where rooms used to be. It is well decorated and the floors are new, but it wasn't made sound proof, far from it. Our room was just below the entrance. Everytime someone entered, it was almost like they were in our room. We could hear their conversations just as clearly. A couple came in around 2AM and played loud music in their room until 5AM. Needless to say I didn't sleep much, but my wife slept through it all. Light sleepers beware.. but you might be lucky and have respectful neighbours!
Very clean and well maintained bedroom with private kitchen and bathroom. The bed was comfortable enough and there was ample space. I would stay again.

United States of AmericaThe temperature was reset everything's we left to go out and when we came back, it was over 70 in the room and we had to open the window to get the temp down. Every day I had to message for the thermostat to be lowered back to what I was told it was kept at...70. We had a fan that we ran the entire time and this made it hard to sleep. The fan in the bathroom didn't work. And the towels were VERY small and there was only 1 per guest- I would have liked to known this so I could bring one instead of having to buy one there.
Great location, nice space and responsive to messages. Good value for the price.

United States of AmericaI stayed in the lower level so I could hear people walking above me and doing all types of things throughout the night. Other than that, it was a good place to stay.
I really liked staying at this Alina & Fanny location. Real private and peaceful place. Everything was clean and arranged very well.

CuraçaoRooms were a bit noisy, dark and small. We stayed in a room in the basement with a small window, and we could hear everything from our upstairs neighbour, like simple walking around the room.
It’s a home for which they rent out rooms. Location was good, and you enter with doorcode’s.

United States of AmericaI didn’t like how loud people upstairs could be. Quiet hours were from 10p-8a, but people upstairs were loud at 1am one of the nights, which was annoying. During the day, it can be pretty loud upstairs because the floor is thin, so you hear every movement, which wasn’t the worst thing but still disruptive sometimes.
I enjoyed the space. I was in room 1 in the basement and it was small and cute. There were some kitchen items, like dishes, a microwave, and fridge that were really helpful to have. I felt very safe, despite the home being used by other travelers. My door would stay locked, and I didn’t see much of the others staying in other rooms.

DenmarkHave nothing bad to say! Be aware of Google Maps though, because if you just put "Alina & Fanny" without paying attention, like we did, you'll end up at the wrong property. :)
Very spacious, well equipped one room apartment (especially compared to hotel rooms). Very cozy even despite it being in the basement. Peacful, quiet neighborhood with a mall close and coffee shops close by.

United States of AmericaBasement room was under foyer entrance with wood floors. Not an appropriate location for sleeping. I was jolted awake when the first resident exited early in the morning…and the second…and third. Considering that I had been stuck in a massive traffic jam on interstate for 18 hours, exhausted, and only wanted to salvage 6 hours sleep from what was supposed to be a pleasant night in Philadelphia, it was disappointing.
Location, interior renovation.
