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.).

Tracey
United KingdomIt was basic, to the point it was for 2 people but there was only one mug. There was nor even a quarter of a roll of toilet paper. We arrived at 10.20pm, text the next day and was assured cleaner would bring some, when we got back from our day put no toilet roll, so at 9.30pm, we had to go searching for stores to get toilet paper, on foot. There were only 2 pillows, one each and they were quite flat. We always use basic accommodation but these things were what you would expect in the most basic place.
Within walking distance to Leicester centre. Clean and tidy.

United KingdomArrived to find a painter in my room. Given a new room over the phone. Room was clean but smelled strongly of cannabis, though coming from South London this prevented me feeling homesick. Cutlery draw had loads of spoons, TWO can openers, one knife and zero forks. Like a bad remix of Allanis. The two pillows were also cosplaying as envelopes, had to use my towel to fatten them up. Right next to a huge busy firestation, though some may feel that belongs in the plus box...
Room was clean, good bathroom, powerful shower, strong WiFi, decent kitchen (bar the Ironic situation), bed itself was comfy, plenty of wardrobe and draw space, Smart TV you can stream to.

United KingdomDidn't get information to gain entry and have to call a couple of times. Cleaner/management thought we had booked for one night and not two so tried to come into room when we were in bed. Tea towel and shower mat would have been good.
Location was excellent and it was nice and quiet despite being next to the fire station - a real bonus! Neighbors were very helpful upon arrival when we couldn't get in.

United KingdomWhen I searched for a room in Leicester, this one came up. The price and location were okay, but I failed to read the reviews. Big mistake; not only should I read them, but I should heed them too. I didn't mind too much the fact that the place is only about 50mtr away from the main Leicester Fire Station. The bedroom was on the ground floor, right next to the window with the ill-fitting blind, so laying there with the light on was a no-no. The bathroom smelt damp and musky, the window didn't have privacy glass, and there was an ill-fitting blind in there too; there wasn't any complimentary shower gel, shampoo, or even any liquid soap in the dispenser. The noise and shouting from other people living/staying there was unbearable at 4 am until I left at 7 am. This is something that has been mentioned in previous reviews, which I found out too late. To be really honest and frank, if you're really, really desperate for somewhere to stay in Leicester then give this place a try, but not for me.
Probably the best bit about the place was its location and its proximity to the train station, probably a 15-20 minute walk away. The bed was comfortable, the linen seemed clean. Oh, and the burger van across the street came in useful.
