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.).

IrelandI was there for 8 nights initally & then for another 2 nights ..that's 10 days in total . I had to ask for toilet rolls and a change of towels after 4 or 5 I days .Nobody came to empty bins (which I did myself )to change the bed or supply another change of towels. The only time I saw anyone was when I was moving out.!!! That was my 10 day stay . There were ants around the sink ,fridge, cupboards. They were also in the bedroom and balcony . The door of the washing machine was broken...tape had been put on it before I occupied the apartment . I could'nt get my clothes out of the machine . Jose came and managed to open it . My clothed hadn't spun & were dripping wet when I took them out . I had pressed the spin button .I wasn't going to risk putting them into the machine again in case I'd have to call Jose again . Other than that the apartment was lovely. . Thank you Jose for being so helpful ,it was a pleasure meeting you ..
The location was brilliant . The apartment was lovely and spacious .There was a fantastic view from the balcony which was on the main street . The whole beach and the street with cafes & restaurants could be seen .

HungaryWe stayed on the first floor in the building which is closer to the sea and due to its location, it can be quite noisy on weekends after midnight, since there is always a drunk group who loves to shout at 4 am or some motocyclists/drivers who love to let everyone know how much horsepower they have underneath them. The furniture needs some repair, since the apartment is quite old, but it is reflected in the price.
The location of the hotel is excellent, it is really on the main strip, close to bars, shops and restaurants. The beach is easily accessible. The kitchen was well-equipped. Parking was free, we could stay in the garage even after checking out. Supermarket is very close. The hosts were very kind and helpful.

BrazilJust a few comments, not really negatives: the TV could have some more channels for longer stays, and we could not connect our Netflix account, but this can be fixed (and to be honest, with amazing beaches like those, you won't want to stay in front of the TV much). Mattress could be more comfortable, and more pillows and covers would be a plus (although we could've asked for more, and I am pretty sure they would help us with that).
The location and views are amazing, literally across the street from the Praia da Rocha beach, with all facilities on hand (restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, etc). The property was very clean and well equipped, comfortable for a couple or a small family, with the plus of having AC in both the bedroom and living room. Balconies in both the living room and bedroom give an incredible view of the beach. Make sure to get a room on the higher floors, as the views are jaw dropping!

CanadaNoisy restaurant below our room. Closed 11pm. Got quiet after that. Took a while to work out entrances to building as there is no reception area. Glad we were in the back building as front quite busy and noisy at times. Some repairs needed in apt. Cupboard not close properly. No directions how to use washing machine. Staff very helpful and quick to address problems. If you plan to rent a car there is no parking on street and underground parking is quite a maze if not used to such situations re navigating cement pillars, and low fronted cars up the ramp.
Good location, spacious, comfortable beds. Older building. Loved the doors and keys. Close to beach and grocery store down below.

United KingdomEvery time we tried to use the kettle the power would go off and the hot water would run out quite quickly. Also wish we were given a spare set of keys to access the building.
Location is perfect, right in front of the beach, part of the bustling strip of bars and restaurants, a short walk to anything you’ll need.

CanadaOutside temps were chilly which made the tile floors cold even with the heat on. This is likely a benefit in the summer! I suggest replacing the veg't peeler and adding a spatula and a 10" or longer knife to the kitchen ware. Also the lack of dish soap, cloths, cleaning supplies was annoying. Buying a 500ml dish soap for 5 nt stay is ridiculous, as well as garbage bags, sponges. The Sofa/Bed was not that comfortable, Springs can be felt :(
Messages were answered quickly, information was clear, location was right near beach with private underground parking. Grocery store and shops/restaurants nearby. Apt. was bright with a nice balcony, bdrm was a decent size with nice closet space and balcony areas/windows. Bathroom had nice counter space and storage space, towels. Kitchen was adequate for 1 or 2 people. Heaters worked well once they heated up initially.
