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.

IrelandThe entrance, the lawn is not cut to make the place look decent. The place was a bit different compared to the pictures displayed on the website. The walls are not as white as the pictures with spider webs on corners (this could have been removed), the sofa is old and a bit broken, was not able to use the TV,
The place was decent and the host was really welcoming and provided advice on things to do in and around Washington DC. The place had a small bar fridge, microwave, TV hardly use, wifi with good connection, aircon.

United StatesThe description didn't list the 2 flights of stairs, which was not something my 88yr old grandmother could handle. The ammendities were lacking, we didn't know what was expected of us to supply or what they should supply. After witnessing my grandmother fall still refused a partial refund so we could more easily find a more suitable accommodations.
Nothing, the lady downstairs was kind.

NetherlandsIt was a really bad experience. It's not a studio, it's a shared house and they give you a room. His family lives downstairs and he sees them all the time. The house smelled very bad and was messy. We entered through the door and did not stay in this house, but the owner did not refund and we had to book another hotel. Stay away

United StatesWell. The block seems unsafe and rundown. I was followed by two gentleman from the time I got out of Uber until I got up the steps to the units location. Whe the two gentleman walked to the porch of the house right next door and just stood there and stared at me. The lock box for the key didn't work. I fiddled with that for about 20 mins before a woman came to answer the door who didn't speak a y English. The space is clean. I guess. It's located upstairs in the house a family lives in. Which smelled like a restaurant and there was loud screaming and banging. Not sure what that was. In all. This was advertised as a studio apt thisbis in fact a bedroom in a family's house with old furniture old linena, loud noises on a somewhat sketchy block in a transitional neiighborhood of northwest Washington. It may work for some. But the picture and the description do not represent what the unit really is. Plus I was billed for this. And still waiting to hear back about a refund...I'm sure you hat will not happen.
Well I was only there about 20 mins or so. Long enough to book another accomodation somewhere else.

United States1.Smell so bad when we entered the house 2.Really inconvenient owner’s mom can’t speak English 3.We r not leaving yet owner’s mom just knocked the door and ready to enter our room 4. The pics are totally different with the house (Can’t open the door of balcony, no small table Everything are old not like pics, I feel cheated!!!!!! The appearance is very shabby, there is a very strange smell when entering the door, and I also saw the portrait of the deceased. I feel very bad. The stairs are also very shabby. You will make a sound when you step on them. There are cracks in the walls of the room, the pillows are moldy.There was thick dust, the bathroom was extremely narrow and the door also broken. Btw box paper was not provided only toilet paper. The owner’s mother did not speak English. The overall accommodation experience was very poor.

United StatesOne thing to know: the room is a one-flight walk-up, and there are some older (and slightly uneven) steps to enter the building.
The bed was very comfortable! Great location- close (15 minute or less walk) to some good restaurants and to the green line metro.

Couldn't get the TV to work. Had to take my shoes off(which was odd but I understood). It was just a weird experience

United Statesit wasn’t in a super safe neighborhood but my boyfriend and I are used to that environment. The walls were very dirty and the pictures were definitely misleading. I felt weird about it being in a house with her parents, but I might’ve misunderstood the listing. I didn’t like that the door to our room did not lock from the outside.
The person we spoke with was very nice and answered quickly. We just needed a cheap place to sleep so it worked for us. the bed was very comfy

United StatesThe owner is a liar and a rude person. I asked for the keys to the room, but the drill did not close, and he began to drive out and find something else!!! When I booked this accommodation, it was written in the description that it was a studio, but in fact it was a very small and dirty room without a lock, I had to carry a lot of things with me around the city!!!
I did not like anything for this price in this room!
