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.).

Truly a gem of a property. James was fantastic before, during and after. Check in/out was easy - James sent lots of instructions (with pictures) the morning of to make sure we knew where we were going. Flat itself was super tidy and perfect for what we needed. Modern and the beds were super comfy. Location is excellent. Would not hesitate to book again in the future. Thank you!

The apartment is set a short way back from a very busy, bustling street. It is perfect for a group of friends who want nightlife on their doorstep!
James was a great host, very flexible and quick to answer questions. The apartment was very clean.

One parking space across the road which was a little tricky if you had plenty of luggage!
Good location, close to shops and bars, within walking distance to the town. Property was immaculate, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean with everything you would need to eat in if required.

We were a family of six adults visiting Bournemouth for the weekend. The property was very well presented and incredibly well equipped. It felt modern, clean and cosy. Excellent instructions from James for parking and access arrangements. The location was also great. Easy walking distance into the town centre.

The location of the property is great. It is right in the heart of the city with lots of eateries and pubs nearby / on the doorstep. The property is also only a stones throw away from the city centre / sea front and train station. Everything was easily walkable. The property was clean, bright, modern and contained all the amenities as described. James (the host) was friendly, welcoming, informative and had a great level of communication.

Stairs there was a lot to carry the bags up. Refrigerator noise from outside the flat in twin room but I always take ear plugs away, just in case. The door on the twin room also didn't close. Flat door key was also difficult to remove from the lock.
Good location. Clean and well equipped. Plenty of space. James was very helpful and patient especially when I had no phone signal. The WhatsApp messages including pictures were great as I could still read these when couldn't access my emails and booking.com. Shower and hot water.

Nothing we didn't like, but worth mentioning there are several small flights of stairs to the apartment. The only thing I missed was a cafetiere for fresh coffee, but that's a very minor point.
Fantastic location for our event. Very clean. Really comfortable beds. Lots of hot water, towels and good shower Kitchen very well equipped for 6 adults, plenty of crockery and glassware . James was an exceptionally helpful host. Nothing too much trouble .

It wasn't an issue for our family, but it may be inconvenient for someone as it is third-floor access by stairs. The car park is crossing the road, but really close.
Great stay. Very well located, within walking distance to the pier, restaurants, and has amusement options nearby if you get a rainy day with kids. Fantastic bedrooms, well decorated with suitable furniture. Clean bathroom. Kitchen with good appliances. We recommend it as a very comfortable stay. The host is available and attends promptly. We travelled in 5 adults and two kids.
