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 KingdomIn one of the bedrooms- the heating didn’t work. The lights in the kitchen is very poor when it’s evening. A dog bowl was holding up an armchair. Broken towel railing in the bathroom. We didn’t get our security deposit back despite returning the door fob, only one for all of us. Still waiting to get our money back. I felt the owner of the apartment was rude to me, thinking we were going to trash the place because the previous group did and he thought I was being difficult before the weekend started so this attitude really put me off. UPDATE- We are still waiting for our security deposit after leaving a review as requested.
The location was perfect, everything was within walking distance. We loved the restaurants, bars and the shops nearby. The bedrooms were so comfortable. Beautiful views of Manchester from the terrace and windows. Lovely open plan kitchen and living room.

IrelandSecurity deposit for key fob still not refunded. We checked out from the apartment on Friday 03/11/23 and Mr. Joseph promised to do the refund on the 08/11/23. However until today, 21/11/23 I’m still waiting for my money. I have no idea why Mr. Joseph never reply my messages anymore. Update: Mr. Joseph has refunded my deposit on the 23/11/23. Thank you Mr. Joseph.
Great location. Spacious and cosy with free wifi, iron with iron board, hot water, towels, microwave, kettle & cutlery. Mr. Joseph Heyworth was very helpful from the day I made the reservation until we checked in to the apartment.

United KingdomGood location. Secure apartment. Fully kitted out kitchen. Three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. Owner was easy to deal with and responsive to messages- as was the person who we met at the door to check in and to discuss house rules etc. I sent several messages to the owner who always replied. The owner asked for a separate refundable deposit- which was refunded in full. There was a bit of a delay in refunding the deposit - but nothing too bad and the owner replied to messages when I asked about it and was apologetic regarding the delay. Overall I would definitely recommend.

United KingdomWe stayed from November 24th to 25th, still waiting for the £99 deposit to be returned, and it’s December 15th. We paid it in good faith and left the apartment in a good condition. Response from the host could have been better, along with information regarding when the deposit will be returned. I will update the review when I get the deposit back.
Nice central location. Clean and big enough to accommodate the group.

Ease of location, enough space for all our group, good facilities. Host was very nice and easy to communicate with. Comfy beds and quiet surroundings.

SingaporeA security deposit was asked for the day before our stay, but it was safely returned after we checked out!
The location was absolutely perfect for our stay in Manchester, right in the heart of the Northern Quarter! The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable one night stay in Manchester. We struggled to find anywhere else that would house such a big group so it was great that my group of friends could all stay together with a communal lounge area to hang out! :)
