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.).

My only criticism would be that the people in the apartment above us were quite noisy but that is not the fault of the staff or owners.
Well equipped, clean and good location.

It’s at the top, so many stairs. It was fine for us but not if you couldn’t manage stairs. Of course that is not a reflection on the apartment as it is clearly stated when booking
The property is beautiful. Very clean and welcoming. Everything you need for a self catering short stay. Communication is also very good and helpful. The stand alone bath a luxurious bonus Thank you our stay was lovely

Could have had a mirror near the sockets in the corner of the room. The one over the bed was too far away for a short-shited person like me, when doing hair!
Self catering, although never ate in.

Just a couple of little tweaks would have made our stay more comfy, maybe a cosy throw and more hooks in the bathroom.
Good communication from owners before and during our stay and recommendations on places to eat. We appreciated the welcoming card and box of chocs too. One evening, we ate at Coco & Rum. The food was very tasty Lovely apartment, clean and comfy. A good location with plenty of eating places nearby and near to the sea front.

The bed in the second bedroom wasn't very comfortable compared to the master bed. Very springy and firm, felt a bit cheap. It's a fair old trek up the four flights of stairs too but it didn't bother us really.
Beautifully decorated, fabulous master suite on top floor, lovely kitchen with everything you could possibly need to cook for yourself if you wanted to. Plenty of takeaways or restaurants/bars a short walk away if you don't! We didn't struggle to get parked either despite it being a busy bank holiday weekend.

There is a lamppost outside the bedroom window. A blockout blind has been provided but was awkward to access.
Everything I needed for a 3 night stay. Convenient to the grocery store and train station. Was a good size for single person.

My one niggle would be the noise leakage from upstairs (I was in a ground floor flat). I think another layer of soundproofing might be needed- the sounds of people walking around was loud and could also hear voices and snoring. Earplugs were needed.
The location was perfect, Sara so helpful and the property had everything you could need. Beautifully decorated and comfortable

Lovely modern well designed and tastefully decorated apartment. Sparkling clean. Cosy and comfortable with everthing you could possibly need provided. An elderly lady on my own, I felt very safe here Very close to train station, buses, beach, and all the amenities that Saltburn has to offer. Lovely places to eat and drink nearby. Good communication from Sara. Host of the property. Easy self check in/ check out via lock box. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay

Nothing that would stop me from using the property again. Dedicated parking for the property would be nice but you can park for free on the street outside. If booking the penthouse apartment be aware it involves a lot of stairs.
Great location with less than a minute walk to the seafront and numerous local amenities. Apartment was clean and spacious and well equipped. Felt very safe and secure.
