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...).

United States of Americakitchenette is very small - if you cook anything it's really hard to wash the dishes (you have to do it in the bathroom). Also, coffee was not good.
Nice area, ease street parking, clean apartment, lovely backyard garden, very responsive and friendly manager Gloria.

IsraelI read here that there is a noise insulation problem between the rooms, so I took the upper unit. It turns out that it didn't really help because at 7 o'clock I heard music from the room next door and there is also some noise from airplanes. The worst thing for me was the hot water problem in the apartment. At first there was no hot water at all, then after we waited there was warm water, but also the next day there was only warm water and no hot water for the shower
Ten minutes drive from the airport, a nice and safe neighborhood even at night, the apartment is clean and cozy.

CanadaI wasn't notified beforehand about any of the access steps... I got them in an email 2 days after my visit, and the information in the email was incorrect. The only reason we got access was that one of the long-term tenants had a contact number. The number through bookings.com was for the owner in the UK, and he was not helpful. Sounds like I woke him up, and he never did contact the property manager. It was not impressive.
The place was comfortable and quaint. Everything about the stay was great considering the cost.

United States of AmericaPower went off on one side of room ( possible space heater was overloading circuit). Took a long time to reach help bt it finally came. Walk to beach is quite steep. Barn door to bathroom does not close tightly and bathroom is right by bed. Hot tub was a little smelly due to wet leaf litter nearby. ( Hot tub water was clean).
Big room. Outdoor space and hot tub. Some views of city in distance. Walkable to beach. Nice neighborhood. Some food options nearby.

CanadaOverall nice place! Only complaints we had was above suite you could hear their TV and could hear all the foot steps. Was pretty loud. While awake not an issue but we were planning to sleep until 9 ish but were woken at 7am with the above noted noises. Pretty loud! Wifi was cutting out from time to time which affected our business communication.
Good location. Overall I would recommend.

GermanyLacks some comfort due to missing or broken features. Was very cold in February because the small heater could not warm the room. Very tiny bathroom sink. Not for people who need dark rooms to sleep. Very thin non-insulated walls and woodworm bore dust (??) on surfaces. Fireplace is nice in theory, but not an option to actually use.
House itself is cute, good location in a save neighborhood with great views. Checkin process easy and comfortable.

United States of AmericaWe were only contacted by the manager before check-in. They were radio silent afterwards. The dog fee was listed as $25 per night per dog during our booking. When we checked in, we were told it's $50 per night per dog. We emailed them to clarify and to ask about the parking situation, but we didn't get a response. It was the holidays, so I understand. But we had another issue with the heater. This was after the holiday. The thermostat is in another unit, so we had no control over our own heat. Someone left the heater on in a different unit, and consequently turned our unit into a sauna. We called 3 of the numbers they gave us, and only 1 person picked up. It was almost 10PM and we were told there's nothing to be done because it was so late. We were told to crack a window. It was really uncomfortable. By the time we checked out, the house manager never called us back about the dog fee, never replied to our original email message, and never reached back out.
It was a quiet and safe location. Parking was easy. Check in was easy. It's dog-friendly.

AustraliaWalls are not soundproof enough to block out couple next door having a long loud argument :(
It was suppose to be a relaxing destination to celebrate an anniversary. Unfortunately it did not start out completely relaxing as it seemed our room was double booked. Mara did make a huge effort and placed in another room for one night and was placed in our booked room the following day. The room we booked was very comfortable and we enjoyed the balcony upstairs to enjoy the Californian sun and watch the planes fly over. The beach was only a 15 minute walk away and 6 minutes walk to shopping strip where you could get pizza, Italian, subway, donuts, sandwiches and small range of groceries at liquor store. 20-30 minutes can get you to Venice beach or Santa Monica pier via Uber. Overall apart from the initial hiccup it was a nice stay :)

United KingdomThe only big negative is that we were told the hot tub was dirty - which obviously put us off using it! We were hoping to get a soak so that was a shame this wasn’t available. The host was a little slow to respond, but we didn’t have too much to discuss!
We stayed in the B flat, it was so charming and lovely! Plenty of space for a couple, with a separate living room, bedroom and a big bathroom! We absolutely loved our stay here, the flat was clean and well equipped (air fryer, stove, fridge, microwave, hairdryer etc). The area is really safe and we felt very comfortable here - only 25 mins drive from Venice and Santa Monica. Check in and check out was easy and there was plenty of on-street parking. There’s two TVs, although we could only get Netflix to work on one of them. There’s a lovely set of shops nearby, handy for laundromats and a quick bite - definitely try out Yum Yum Donuts! Would definitely stay here again if we visited LA again! Saw som reviews that mention double charging - we booked o Booking.com so no such problems!
