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 KingdomI'm of the impression that this may possibly be the owner's first venture into property letting, but clearly he is on a controlled budget, but succeeds in providing all the necessities, and the flat is clean and tidy.
The location is 4 miles out of Sunderland centre, ((just a £9 taxi ride). It's quiet, albeit in a Council estate type of area. However, we did not experience any noise or nuisance whatsoever, and parking behind the building in a private off-road car park was most useful and quiet.

United KingdomWould have preferred a solid front door instead of one with glass panes in. Created a lot of light at night from the corridor and didn't feel particularly private.
A perfect location and set up for stop overs or for someone needing somewhere to stay if travelling for work.

United KingdomWe stayed for 5 nights and decided to cook instead of eating out. As previously posted by others the kitchen utensils are very much lacking, i.e. no can opener, peeler, cork screw, chopping or carving knies, whisk. It was a shame these items do not cost a fortune. I do believe in commercial enterprise but you have to invest in a business from time to time.
This property is priced very well. It has potential to be better. The location was just right for our needs.

United KingdomBoiler was faulty, uncomfortable bed, very poorly equipped apartment. No toaster, no can-opener, no tea spoons, no waste bin in bathroom, bathroom needed a deep clean, dirt, dust and dedris around the pipework and surfaces, no written guest instructions on how things worked. eg could not tune in the TV to get terrestrial channels. The hob ignition was broken making it unsatisfactory to operate. I would imagine the Boiler and hob issues in themselves would not pass a gas safety check, as both the controls on each of those fixtures were broken and the agent handling the check- in remotely was aware of the Boiler issue. The apartment was just about adequate for 1 or 2 nights, but would not have been comfortable staying any longer. As the cost of the apartment was on the lower end of the scale, we just got on with it as it was only a short visit. Honestly though, not even a tea spoon provided is pretty poor management.

United KingdomNo instructions on how anything worked, boiler was switched off so no hot water. Mish mash of crockery and cutlery but not a teaspoon in sight. No tv aerial so could only watch you tube. Would have been nice to have had at least tea and coffee, used to apartments having small welcome park. Lots of left over toiletries in bathroom. Mish mash of furniture in bedroom and all windowsills paint cracked and hidden under blankets. Very late check in time.
Location was where we needed for party we were going to. Sofa and bed comfortable. Good sized towels.

United KingdomOn the date of my arrival I was made aware that the apartment was double booked so I was offered the ground floor apartment. I took this for the first night, after which I was moved to the 1st floor flat. I had a 5am start on the morning after my first night’s stay and woke up to find there was no hot water, so I had an ice cold shower. I notified the host and asked them to ensure the first floor apartment had hot water. I was assured this would be sorted, but when I checked in I found it too didn’t have hot water. I called the host who advised how to switch the hot water on after which the water was fine.
The place itself was fine and it would have been a reasonably priced apartment if everything worked as it should
