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 StatesThe location is superb - bang on in the middle of the high street, convenient to all the town has to offer. The apartment itself is lovely, comfortable, and well-appointed. The hosts, Penny and Paul (and Bob the dog), were warm and welcoming from the start, and truly cared that we enjoyed our stay. The skies opened while we were there, and the pouring rain in the street outside only served to emphasize the coziness of the apartment as we took a well-deserved rest day from our Coast to Coast Walk. Absolutely recommended for a short break or an extended stay in Kirkby Stephen, which itself serves as a marvelous base for exploring the surrounding region.

United KingdomCould have had more toilet roll provided. Towels were quite small. Beds were a bit soft for both of us, but that’s just personal preference.
Great welcome package of bread, flapjacks, milk, eggs, butter & jam. Really great size - loads of seats and so much to look at in terms of antiques. A truly unique place. Great hosts throughout the stay. Really enjoyed our stay, great location too.

United StatesI wish we could rate the 'Apartment of Antiquity' higher than a 10. All the effort that the hosts, Penny and Paul, put into this unit deserves a higher score.
Our two night stay at Penny & Paul's 'Apartment of Antiquity' was the highlight of our trip to Northern England or shall I say, all of the UK. Their hospitality outshines anywhere else we've ever stayed. The apartment has every amenity one could need (plus some you hadn't realized was needed). We were welcomed with fresh homemade bread, eggs, and milk so that we didn't immediately have to go to the store. The apartment is quiet. The beds were comfortable. Spacious bathroom. Cozy living room. The apartment was spotless with lots of antiques to keep your eyes busy. Strong wifi connection for those who care. Fantastic location in the heart of Kirkby Stephen. Just stay there - you won't regret it!

United KingdomThe owners are the most wonderful people, with lovely conversation and a really inviting and considered approach to the hospitality of your stay. The location is perfect and the accommodation was spectacular, unique and very comfortable. My only issue was I didn't get to stay in this brilliant apartment and Kirkby Stephen for another night, I couldn't recommend your stay at the Apartment of Antiquity enough.
