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 are 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 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 KingdomNothing!!
This a very easy question to answer. Everything!! They really did think of every. The apartment had it all it was like being in my own house. Complementary wine on arrival. The little things like fresh coffee in the fridge. No need to buy the normal thing you buy when renting an apartment for a few days. Simple stuff like salt, pepper, bin bags I truly could go on and on for pages. Extra pillows, blankets. TV in every room. Wi-Fi was good. Parking was so easy and free for the weekend. Would I and my friends stay here again 100% just a shame the race meet was cancelled due to poor weather. Roll on next time.

United Kingdomstaircase was very steep, for some that would certainly be an issue , more so from the living area up to the bedrooms
the flat was much bigger and better appointed than we'd expected - location overlooking the town square was superb. We have already recommended it to family and friends

United KingdomShower in ensuite bedroom lacked pressure and difficult to regulate, but this only one small negative in loads of positives
Great communication from the hosts and very quick to respond to questions. Location is perfect for town, the flat was well presented and extremely clean. Easy to access via key box and plenty of free parking nearby. Exellent facilities to use in kitchen. Both bedrooms a good size and plenty of wardrobe storage. All in all we had an extremely comfortable 2night stay.

United KingdomPerfect location in centre of town. Very spacious with a very cosy feel. Hosts had it set up great, with helpful notes and welcome package. It felt like a home from home. The square itself had so many shops and a nice selection of pubs and restaurants which would appeal to everyone. Brilliant property.

United KingdomNothing wrong with the property. Because of its central location, visitors should be aware that busy pubs and central square restaurants etc may mean some boisterous conversations late into the weekend evenings. But double glazing prevented that being a problem.
Wonderfully furnished and thoughtfully equipped. Lots of space, with two separate ‘living’ areas.

United KingdomWe forgot to order good weather!
Much bigger than it looks on the pictures - it really is a substantial size! Lovely location, overlooking the Market place to the front, and the Abbey to the rear. Good choice of local places to eat. With hindsight, we shouldn't have shopped before we got there, as the basics (milk, butter, wine etc.) were already in the fridge! Car parking was good - we never had to park more than 50yds away, but after we left we wondered if we could have parked at the front rather than the back?
