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...).

BrazilA weekly or fortnightly clean-up with a resupply of toiletries and other things like that would be great, as there was no service whatsoever through the whole month i was there.
The location is great, I had one of the rooms at the back, so couldn't hear the train or any other street noises. The fact that has a kitchen, washing machine and dryer made it very easy for me to do a normal routine and manage without a humongous amount of clothes.

United States of AmericaThe windows are old and let a lot of noise in. I stayed in properties with newer windows in this area before and the noise was not so bad.
The best of this property is location. Straight at the city center, very convenient access to tourist attractions.

United States of AmericaAlthough the issues I will describe in this section didn’t make our stay poorer, I want to approach them as some improvements to be done. At the end of the day, we enjoyed having these very urban components during our stay, but they can be a major issue depending on the person. 1. The metro line is in front of the building and the trains pass almost all day and night, with more distances between each train at night. So there is a constant noise. For us, as I said above, was a charming feature for living in a very well located position of a big city. But if it was a longer stay or for people with sleeping issues, the noise can become an issue. 2. The clarity in the rooms were good during the day, but bad at night. They don’t have a blackout type of curtain, making the light of the city coming through their thin curtains. This is definitely something to be improved in order to offer more comfort for the guests. 3. Lastly, since is an old building with renovated apartments, I thought that the common areas and elevator carpets were a bit poorly maintained. The smell coming from the cigar shop in the second floor might also be an issue for sensitive guests, but it didn’t bother us, since it was not getting inside the apartment, but it was strong in the common areas.
We usually review accommodations using pros and cons. But I want to express that we had a great stay overall. The location was amazing, close to everything and to many transportations modalities. The apartment is simply but nicely decorated and renovated, with big windows that allows clarity to enter the apartment. The staff and Sonders app were useful and attentive. They don’t have somebody there all day, but almost all our requirements were addressed quickly. Beds and pillows were super comfy, an important component in choosing a place (they are leaning towards the firm not the soft ones, which we appreciate them more). Kitchen was well equipped and we manage to cook breakfast often. Many restaurants and attractions at a walking distance. A great stay, with a few improvements to be done.

United KingdomThe noise from the passing trains didn't bother us at all and became quite a relaxing background sound. However, if you wanted to watch TV you'd struggle occasionally to hear while a train was passing.
We stayed in the one-bedroom apartment which had beautiful huge windows looking onto the main street and overlooking the L train station. It was a gorgeous place to sit in the window and watch the city and trains go by. There was a big closet for storage and useful having a washer and dryer available. The bed was comfy. The shower was very spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and some coffee was provided. Everything felt clean and fresh. The check-in process was very simple and convenient.

United States of AmericaCarpet hadn't been cleaned in a while and the bathroom lacked any place to hang towels - ended up in the bedroom drying by hangers. I'd also recommend a small side table for coffee or cocktails in the living area.
Location was great. Walking distance to public trans within a block. Full kitchen and laundry was excellent. Large bathroom and comfortable beds.

IrelandWe did not receive the code for entrance, lift and apartment so only for the kindness of a gentleman who was visiting cigar shop below us, we would have been really stuck!! Cigar salon below our apartment and smell pervaded ours, especially in bathroom. We also had two deposits taken from account which has not been resolved yet.
Location was great, right in the heart of the loop. Trains were noisy but we had white noise machines which worked perfectly to cancel out the noise. Apartment was lovely, spacious and well equipped.

PortugalI didn't like that they changed the access codes last minute (20 minutes before the agreed upon check in time). Considering that check out was until 11am, I didn't appreciate receiving texts and emails questioning me about what time precisely I was checking out.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable, great location, very convenient. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare simple meals.

AustraliaMinor issues only. A plug for the kitchen sink would have been good. And customers who had been smoking in the Cigar Bar on Floor 2 left the only elevator smelling of cigar smoke.
Location was superb. Right in the centre of the city, walking distance to all the major sights and 60m from an Elevated Train stop in the Loop. Place was exceptionally clean and tidy. Several bars with excellent service and food nearby.

NetherlandsIt’s located next to a train line and some other business so it’s noisy even at night. The rooms should have another set of windows to have it better (noise) isolated. To be fair they offer white noise machines but personally, I like silence. The check in process was clear but it would help to send the process with pictures.
The location is great. The Appartment was really good and had everything I needed. All new and well equipped.

CanadaThe overhead fan in the bedroom area has a light and it's not possible to turn off the light without also turning off the fan. It would have been nice to have the option to leave the fan running at night. The only other issue was a wooden piece under the bed that was in a perfect spot to hit with your foot. I stubbed my toe on it at least 3 times.
We were thrilled with our stay. I ended up getting sick so the fact that everything was contactless made it a great place to recover. The app made checking in early for a fee easy and I used it to contact support to get an extra blanket to keep warm on the couch, which arrived within a couple hours. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The location was also great - really close to the Art Institute.

United States of AmericaThe only small negative detail is the noise, which I am sure is not fully controllable by the management, because is due to the city noise from the outside. But surely those noises have woken me up a couple of times per night, every night. So, probably, some more interventions to soundproof the windows would make these apartment even more comfortable.
Soder apartments are in the centre of the city, super close to the train and to the principal attractions. The place was very clean and nicely decorated, and had all the necessary for a stay of any lenght. I loved the ease of checking in and access building, elevator and room just by using the codes received by email.
