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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The harbour and highway noise early in the morning is quite loud if one has the patio doors open. For the rest of the day it is quite quiet though...
Apartment was very clean and had a lot of useful facilities such as a Nespresso machine and air conditioning. Beds and bedding was very comfortable. Great TV and comfortable furniture

I liked everything!
Beautiful apartment with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay yet felt luxurious too. The location was amazing, just a 5 minute walk to the waterfront. It also was secure and we felt very safe. Ursula was great at communicating and Nabu was wonderful. The little touches (cold water, wine, chocolates and biscuits) were very much appreciated!

Coming from the UK I did struggle a little with the concept of the security gate between the flat and the restaurants at the V&A waterfront being locked at 8pm. In the end we didn't walk to dinner but took the car and parked in one of the many carparks at V&A (very cheaply). We could have walked there and got an Uber back but seemed easier just to take the car.
Very spacious and beautiful apartment. Extra touches like bottle of wine, biscuits, tea, coffee and milk were very welcome.

A very beautiful apartment, such a nice location. Spacious and close to the VA waterfront. The hosts had great communication and were nice enough to leave us a bottle of wine and some sweets which was such a nice touch. The house keeper was amazing and showed us around when we arrived.

Apartment could use some maintenance, like fixing the main bathroom vanity cupboard and tightening the second bedroom cupboard doors. As well as cleaning behind the washing machine and dryer as a lot of dust accumulates from the machine from behind
The location of the apartment was perfect. The apartment felt very homey and was comfortable. The bottle of wine and biscuits left by the host was such a sweet gesture. Loved every minute.

We had a great stay at Canal Quays 507. It was perfect for our family of 4 - spotlessly clean, comfortable and had every amenity you would need. The hosts were great and very thoughtful - leaving a bottle of wine and chocolates for our arrival. Thank you so much. Conveniently located and just a short uber ride from V&A Waterfront. Would highly recommend this accommodation.
