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 KingdomBack door was hard to open. Water coming out of hot tap was ridiculous, too hot for children Chairs would have been nice in garden. Not enough seating in living room for 7 of us. No spare bedding for sofa bed . I personally found it cold even with heating on .
Comfy beds . Nice decor . Parking around the back was a bonus .

United KingdomThe whole property requires some investment especially in the bathroom as the facilities are quite poor. It's a shame there is only one bathroom for the number of people the house can accommodate.
The location was fabulous really close to the city but not on a busy street.

United KingdomRoad noise due to single glazed windows. Noise from next door neighbour due to being semi-detached. Bedrooms too light due to not having blackout curtains. Having to park on the road as no private offroad parking.
Cleanliness. Close proximity to the location where we were visiting.

Lots of space, in a small private house with garden was great just outside of town. The host made check in and out really easy remotely and were really pleasant to deal with.

United KingdomUnfortunately we had to park across the road, this wasn't noted in the description of the property. Luckily we managed to find parking. My husband emailed the property owners and explained there was a strong smell of tobacco smoke as we entered the property. We are a non-smoking family, but didn't want this to be noted on our records. We did get a response immediately, which we are grateful for. Thankyou
The location from the zoo to Lion House was 3 miles. we were able to find it.

House had everything we needed except for lighter for gas hob, which should have been in drawer. Management company on hand to report & adding to their check list in future. Was a little shop within walking distance so we were able to get matches!! Easy reach of zoo & Chester shopping. Management company very helpful ringing & emailing before our visit with checking in details etc.

United KingdomOn entering the property it was clear that it does not match the photographs. It is sparesly furnished and needs decoration. The sitting room was ok but certainly not homely. Basically it had a sofa bed, a chair, a coffee table, a lamp and a tv. The side window had no curtain so nobody would be able to use the room due to lack of privacy. The kitchen had basics but the worktop wss damaged by previous guest putting hot pans on and needed changing. The back garden is unkempt. The bathroom had mould around tiles and cracked tiles. The main bedroom was ok but the carpet frayed as was the other rooms. The bed was 2 singles pushed together with a topper to make it look like a double. The bedding was clean but the mattresses are stained. The curtains are cheap and didnt block the light meaning an early rise.The othe room has 3 single beds which were clean. The walls are paper thin and the noise from neighbours and the road were bad meaning a restless night. All in all if I had wanted to book student accommodation, I would have booked a hostel and it would have been cleaner and less damaged. If you book this, take pictures on arrival as we did, as they also take £100 out of your babk without permission and hold it in case of damages, which we also found: flooring damaged, stains on floors in bathroom and main bedroom, stains on walls, broken radiator covers, scratched bathroom sink, broken plug socket in main bedroom and leaking shower. We would have moved out but as we had paid so much, we put up with and spent as much time out as possible. My advice. Stay in thr heart of Chester it would be cheaper and probably cleaner. Also expect quite a few phone calls prior and on arrival from Outlook, up to the point you complain and then silence.
The house provides easy access to Chester, Chester Zoo and the Aquarium at Ellesmere Port. As travelling with adult son, having a house with 2 bedrooms, it was more convenient than staying in a hotel.

United KingdomThere is not much not to like, the house is on the outskirts of the city centre. We stayed over for race day and it was impossible to get a taxi so we needed up walking the 45 minutes back. Ordinarily I don't think there would be an issue but we found out the hard way. Price is charged per person which made it more expensive even though one person had to sleep on the pull out bed. Would have preferred a flat rate for the house so we could have had an extra friend stay or not lose out if someone cancelled.
Great house, loads of space and has everything you could need. Beds were comfortable and it was clean and tidy. Access via key safe made it easy to check in and out. Tea and coffee etc provided as were towels and shower gel. Would definitely stay again.
