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.).

IndiaNothing. All was fine.
The owner is very accommodating. Loved the way they interact and make sure things are arranged. The appartment felt cramped for 4 people but for 2+1 is it very good.

United KingdomSome of the decor was a bit out of date or mismatched, but this really did not impact on our stay whatsoever so is certainly no complaint.
Homeleigh was exactly what we needed for our stay: clean, comfy and an excellent location. At such short notice, the owner was welcoming and friendly, and provided us with some really useful information about the area and parking. Within our visit she got in touch to make sure everything was ok, which was a really kind thing to do.

United KingdomLes and Pete maintain the property themselves, and clearly put a great deal of time and effort into it. It was exceptionally clean and tidy, everything in good repair. They took time to ensure I was settled in properly, even contacting me when there appeared to be a mistake on the booking rather than assume ‘it will be okay’; this was excellent customer service.

United KingdomBeing mugged in broad daylight by people masquerading as air b&b landlords via booking.com, who should remove this property from their listings.
I feel like I was robbed. The property was absolutely inadequate and not fit for purpose!! From an unwired cooker in the kitchen to mould and stained toilet seat in the bathroom, this property was a complete dump and health hazard!!Please be warned not to be ripped off by this landlady and her scam.

United KingdomWhen we arrived the owner was parked in the only parking the place had, so we had to park far away in a parking area and then drag our heavy bags all the way to the apartment. The owner then tried to put us in this tiny room, apartment 3, luckily she left and we were able to get the key and put our things in the correct apartment. When you go out the front door of the building you are met with a little street full of garbage, it was everywhere, bags and bags of it, there were no bins. it was gross but once you have fought your way through the garbage, there is a big street with tons of quaint little shops with all sorts of things and then it is not far to the beach and a public swimming pool and then there was the place where the hovercraft comes and goes from, so that is quite interesting. The apartment looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks and the toilet stank up the whole apartment every time you flushed, it was so bad that we couldn't eat in the apartment, we had to go out to eat for every meal. The utensils were ridiculous, there were no knives and forks, the teaspoons were all rusted and the big spoon and spatula handles had broken off (see pic below). There were two fridge freezers and no dishwasher, there were kitchen appliances there that were useless and the microwave was half-melted (see pic below). The bed had springs that bore into your back at night and the duvet looked old and stained. When we opened up the sofa bed there was a huge collection of spider webs behind it that must have been there for years. The shower door was broken so you had to maneuver it very carefully or it will fall on you, it is very dangerous. It was so filthy and stinky that the second the owner left, after trying to fix the broken tv, we went out to the shop to get cleaning supplies and a few bottles of Oust odour illuminator and air freshener. It was really not worth the money and if we had somewhere else to go, we would have left immediately
It had a roof and the wifi was good.

United Kingdomabsolutely nothing
I stayed for 2 nights in the Seafront apartment from 26 August 2021. The room has windows in two directions which makes for a very light room. It is a beautifully furnished, tastefully decorated and comfortable room with a tremendous en suite bathroom. There’s enough great restaurants (such as Ryder’s Tandoori, Heron and Ryde Thai) in Ryde that make the town a really enjoyable gastronomic experience. There are many superlatives one could use in describing Homeleigh Apartments but the thing I would pick out is that the stay is about you and not so much about the great features that are offered. Lesley and her husband are focused on giving their guests a wonderful experience. I can’t praise them enough.

United KingdomI was not made aware before hand that the sofa bed for our children to sleep on was going to be placed inside a tiny kitchen up against a wall with Cold hard floors, there by far not enough space, Inhabitable and surely a health hazard if a fire had of started?? The house itself smelt of damp, the bedding was bad quality, the neighbours were VERY loud, we were woken both night by shouting/ banging, to be honest it was like sleeping in a YMCA bedsit.
Close to the town centre.

United KingdomI have never written a bad review of anything in my life but considering I paid the best part of £500 for 4 nights, this was pretty abysmal. It stank of alcohol throughout. The bathroom was basically a cupboard and the shower only ran freezing cold. The pipes were blocked so the shower filled up and nearly flooded every time. A random puddle of water was found behind the toilet. We didn’t even touch anything in the kitchen because it smelt so bad and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. We weren’t even allowed into the apartment until I got a text message from the owner. It was so unbelievably unprofessional of the owners to be there, let alone to run through all the things the cleaner didn’t do. Everything was old and dingy. Absolutely not worth the money.
There really wasnt anything we liked about this apartment. I guess it was good that the tv worked?

Awful smell as soon as you enter Mouldy fridge The floors didnt feel clean We were asked to leave the bedding out when departing. The mattress cover had a massive stain in flat 1, looked like it hasn’t been washed in years.Flat 2 had hole right in the middle. Bottom line- only stay here if you are looking forward to a very unpleasant stay
Amazing location, specially for someone who isn’t driving
