How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Good location. Close to shops, railway station and town centre. Good to have a designated parking space and to be able to collect keys from the lock box.

Only minor issue was that the hot water tended to be tepid at best.
The apartment is spacious, clean, well equipped, and in a good location. Really comfortable stay for our family of 4 while visiting relatives in Darlington for a few days.

There was a small issue with the boiler but the landlord came out in a flash to fix it.
A large SUPER clean apartment close to town and next door to ASDA. Very quiet location. I look forward to my next stay later this year. The landlord is very friendly and quick in responding. Very professional. I highly recommend. One of the cleanest apartments I have yet seen.

Nothing really. The radiator in the bathroom could do with a lick of paint. Maybe a few more toilet rolls and kitchen rolls. Perhaps a couple of things in the fridge - milk and butter. An ice tray would be good
The location was excellent. My daughter and family live about 500 yds away and they were my reason for staying here. The property was very clean and comfortable. Will hopefully stay again.

The flat is not ideal for children or animals. What was advertised as a double bed and large double bed isn’t what was received. The first room really was a single with a double bed as you only have enough space for bed and small table with literally a couple of inches between the bed and wall at the bottom. The kitchen is not very well equipped there was one pot for cooking and we had to purchase additional kitchen equipment. There was also only one tea towel. In the living room there is only seating on a very small two seater sofa which is cheap and not very comfortable. The noise when sleeping from the road and train line does not give for a good nights sleep so much so that we needed to wear earplugs. The flat needs some investment overall
The property was relatively clean

Considering two bedrooms with double beds, the lounge area only had one small sofa, but was OK for single or couple occupancy. Whereas Hosts said they had enhanced cleaning and hygeine for Covid, my main complaint was that the rubbish bins in the bathroom and main bedroom hadn't been cleaned out from previous tenants, containing a used face mask and cosmetic pads. I spoke to the Hosts when this was found and told they had just changed cleaners
Convenient location right next to an Asda and a Farmfoods store. Living space was functional and the appartment is full depth from front to back which aids in air flow if its hot weather. The bedrooms face into the close and peaceful for sleeping. Parking space had paved overhang at back which was handy as I was in a large work 4x4 truck
