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 KingdomWe only stayed one night to visit family but will definitely stay again. Beautiful apartment, really high standard of decoration and cleanliness. Rob has really gone the extra mile with this apartment and was really friendly and helpful. Tea, coffee and juice provided and breakfast available downstairs. Has everything you need for a longer stay, washing machine and full kitchen with dining table and all the essentials. Perfect location and parking on site. Couldn't have been happier

Very clean, modern and comfortable. Great to have a washing machine and dryer.

United KingdomMorning traffic is a bit loud, but this was as we expected as it is a main street of the city. There is a cafe downstairs, and we couldn't hear them at all.
The apartment is in the rear of the building, and private parking was right by the door to the building. We had a van and there was plenty of space. The stairs are inside the building, and are not narrow or steep. We walked to ASDA to buy dinner and breakfast food. The oven heats quickly, so keep an eye on it. The owner met us at the building. He was easy to contact, answered all of our questions, and was very helpful. The shower had great water pressure and heated up quickly.

The room was huge and so was the tele. The host, Rob, was lovely. The only down side to it is it’s on the main rd, it was a very hot weekend & I had to sleep with the windows open but the road was fairly busy with cars till around 2am, so I didn’t get much sleep. So I will book again, but with ear plugs next time ;)

United KingdomThis is the only thing I would do to improve the place get 2 new premier in mattress this for me would be the ultimate place
An absolutely lovely place to stay was wowed when we entered the apartment. really modern, spacious open-plan property can’t fault it, and I really can see why it is 9.5 rated. Rob, the host, was welcoming and showed us around the place. There was complementary milk,orange juice, biscuits, coffee, tea, etc. I will definitely be returning; this will be my go-to place to stay when I visit family in Blackwood. Another thing to mention is that the cleanliness of the place was spotless, and another plus was the good-quality towels, shower gel shampoo,and hair dryer. Lastly, I've seen a lot of people moaning about the stairs. When I checked the reviews, there were no more steps than going into a normal 2nd-floor apartment, which was not a problem at all. But if you have mobility issues, it may be a problem. Thanks for having us rob

United KingdomStaff of the cafe took the reserved parking spot and when I asked them to move, they slightly moved the vehicle so I could fit in the parking bay too but this meant loading/unloading the car was tricky and I had to park with the front of my car overhanging the yellow lines so that I didn't block the access door. Bed is quite small in all directions and as I am 6'3", this meant I didn't have the best level of comfort.
Having stayed in this apartment a year before, we knew what to expect and we weren't disappointed. Since our last stay there is some new furniture and the TV has been set up with Netflix which are both good additions.

Both Apartment 185 and the owner were extremely welcoming. I was given a tour of the apartment and shown where everything was and provided with some complimentary drinks, milk, and biscuits. The apartment is quiet, relaxing, and has a very chilled out vibe which was great. 30 seconds away from shops, restaurants, pubs, and the cinema. Excellent location. Definitely stay here again when back in the area.
