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.).

AustraliaThe television is not in front of the bed or any sofas so we couldn’t use it as we couldn’t see it. The kitchen has a small amount of cooking equipment but not really a lot if you’re planning on preparing meals. Otherwise a quirky little comfortable apartment.
A fantastic location and very comfortable bed. The room is spacious. Very handy having a kitchen and access to the building was very easy.

United KingdomIt could have been cleaner. The toilet is flush is on the brink. Check-in is way too late, especially as check-out is before midday. The room and whole building isn’t family-friendly thanks to the odd choice of decor, which mainly includes scantily clad women offering “free parking in the rear” or reminding you to “fill her up” — most of the decorations have a through line of outdated misogyny too. Very unnecessary, very odd design choice.
Excellent location. Spacious. Quiet. Giant TV.

United KingdomThe TV couldn't access normal TV or music channels. Only Netflix and app programs on your own login details . The bedroom and living area were warm. However, the kitchen, entrance hall, and bathroom were FREEZING. You are left an extra oil heater and you have to decide where's best to put it. They are not together, so can't use the heater to heat it all. We chose to put the heater in the entrance hall so we could warm up the bathroom as well. We tried leaving the kitchen door open so the heat from the living area would circulate, but the kitchen was too cold for that. Luckily there are drink facilties in both the living are and kitchen so we just used the living area. Also, on arrival, the fridge was dirty and smelly. Had to contact the owners , who sent a non English speaking person to clean it. The sky light in the kitchen was full of green moss outside and in around the window frame.
The bedroom, living area and bathroom were very modern .

United KingdomTv - no standard channels BBC1/2 ITV, channel 4. Internet linked so you can sign into some of your own accounts like Netflix etc but no iPlayer. Not an issue for us but no ability to drop off bags as double yellow lines outside and the parking on the other side very busy. Car parking in peak season may be difficult to find nearby.
Very comfy Bed, great facilities. Great tea and coffee making facilities but you need to take your own ground coffee for the coffee machine. Strange that these facilities were in the sleeping area would be better in the kitchen then this can be used as a dresser.

United KingdomThe photos make it look a lot more modern that it is. I didn’t really like the decor which was lots of tin logo pics about how to keep women happy and pin up girls etc. Just didn’t really seem to fit the modern vibe the photos put out. Parking at the recommended place was £20 for 2/3 nights
