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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 rooms is really small but it functions.
The location was good, close to the metro with loads of restaurants below. The staff were helpful and cleaned daily. It has a washing machine and usual gadgets in the kitchen. OK for small stays.

ColombiaA staff member was constantly cooking for several hours with the kitchen door closed, the bed collapsed several times, arguments between employees and some late night tenants, the elevators were a disaster. It's fine for a few days or for an emergency, taking it for a month is very expensive.
The apartment is clean and located in a central area, The room was small but clean.

United Arab EmiratesNot the management but the people who don't. Care about others by leaving the kitchen and washrooms dirty.
The place is very close to Dubai Internet City metro station just walk straight after exiting the metro exit 1/2. The man tries to clean. And yes, the place is clean, but since the bathroom and kitchen are shared, some people don't know the value of public sharing. They never care about others,but the environment is good. The only problem is the lift, but it's not the fault of the portion management but the building has lots of people on it so there is lining up and waiting for some minutes I am thankful I had a good stay for 4 nights. I will be back. 💕

FranceBe cautious! The day before my arrival, I received a message from the property owner stating they were canceling my booking, but they didn’t do it officially. Instead, they asked for personal information. After further investigation, it turned out the number was indeed linked to the person managing the accommodation. After much persistence with the property, I was able to secure the room. The hotel’s strategy involves asking for the confidential code that validates your arrival. With this, they can mark you as checked-in, potentially manipulating the system. However, the trouble was just beginning. Upon arrival, I discovered a room with access to a balcony that wasn’t locked, allowing anyone to enter and use it to smoke, chat, and play loud videos. It took significant effort to secure a different room. Beyond this, the general behavior and atmosphere at the hotel were unbearable. Civility and respect seemed nonexistent. At any hour of the night, you could hear people speaking loudly, playing videos or music, cooking, and creating unpleasant odors. In short, avoid this place. The management is unprofessional, and the environment is chaotic and uncomfortable.

SwitzerlandEverything , Pay attention to positive comments as they do not correspond to reality, I am sure that they are manipulated in some way so as not to lower the score. I speak from experience, as I booked for a week and couldn't last more than 3 days. After several contacts with management and they claimed they would resolve it and nothing was done. The hygiene is deplorable, the photos shown are altered as the space is tiny and very poorly maintained. Worst experience I've ever had in the world.
