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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

AustraliaWould have loved a shower curtain. The bathroom sink drains slowly.
This accommodation is by far the best one we’ve stayed at our entire trip. It’s in a beautiful quiet spot and has a beautiful view of the water and mountains. The surroundings are magical when covered in snow. Deffs consider booking if you are visiting in winter. The complex is super quiet, we didn’t hear/see anyone else. I have very high standards when it comes to cleanliness and it passed. I hope the owner and future guests (if you’re reading this don’t be a grub) can keep the place this clean all the time. It was very much appreciated.

United KingdomThis was a ovely place with great facilities: only 2 things let it down: some of the shared areas (at the front of the property) needed a clean up as leaves and rubbish had blown in and collected. Some of the finishing in the room could have been better (there are pencil marks around some of the ducts and fixings and some of the finishing is not aligned correctly). And there was one minor issue with the email communications.. it was not obvious how to get to the rear of the property. Other than that it was perfrct for us!
Excellent facilities - everything you could possibly need is here. There is a washing machine, dish washer, cooking facilities, fridge and freezer, an absolutely stellar shower with excellent pressure and lots of hot water. We booked the apartment at 6 pm and inside within 30 minutes. Keys are located in a lock box at the rear of the property next to private parking. It can be difficult to locate the road at the rear of the property: access is via an entrance some 50M away - but it's not immediately obvious from the email conversations. We had a lovely quiet night here: it was very comfortable and lots of nice running routes nearby. A wonderful surprise.. and a great view!

United StatesParking in the back, kind of blocks our view. Lack of instruction of using the stove but we managed to search instruction from internet.
The waterfront view, the location and the quiet surrounding. Apparently, I notice that it is facing the cruise ship dock, and luckily for both days there we didn't see any until the last day, one ship pulls in.

BelgiumThe view from the window on the lake is not the best you may find in the area (parking space is just in front). Except this all was perfect!
The apartment is brand new, well furnished, spacious, fully equipped and with private parking space. Good location to visit many highlights of the peninsula. We had nice and relaxing days there. If lucky, you can also spot seals swimming in the bay.

NetherlandsThere are not many things that could have been better, but if I have to name one, it would be the pans in the kitchen. As someone who likes to cook, I thought there wasn't much choice. I would ideally see at least two frying pans and maybe an extra inbetween size normal cooking pan. But this is a minor issue because I managed just fine.
When we arrived, the door of the appartment was unlocked and the keys were inside. The house was very clean and quite luxurious. As two friends, one slept on the bed and the other on the sleep couch. Both slept great, good matrasses and when waking up, a solid beautiful view over the bay.
