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 StatesThis was more of a personal comfort thing but the mattress on the bed was very hard and not comfortable for us for a good nights sleep.
The property is located in the city center of Milton Keynes and close to shopping, food and other entertainment. Good base to explore surrounding area and places like Windsor, Warwick Castle, Stratford upon Avon, all within 50-60 miles drive. If you do not have a vehicle or don’t want to deal with congestion charges and driving in London, the train station is 15 minutes walk for trains to London and other locations. Best way to explore London. Property is very secure and safe and has all you need for a short stay visit. Staff are very prompt to respond, if you have any questions or issues during your stay. Sainsbury’s grocery store is right around the corner and offers good prepared meals or anything you need for you stay. Secure parking is also included with your stay, providing you request it on booking your stay.

United KingdomI arrived pretty late at night and spent over 20 minutes trying to find the office location to collect the keys and instructions. I had to park my car and walk up to every building to try and see its name or street number as when I had initially drove down and back up the street, I could not locate the building name or number. I think the street ended at number 100, and the building I needed was 101 or 103, I can't remember the exact details now. Anyway, I had to park up and walk this entire really long street because from the car I just could not find what I needed. Walking, I finally found the place to collect the keys. The office is actually around the corner after the end of the street. I went back to my car, which was on yellow lines, so it needed moving. I then drove back down to the key collection point, got the keys, details of where i had been allocated to stay, and then followed the map provided to the car parking space I had been allocated. Finding the car park was pretty trouble-free. Finding the apartment, less so. I parked the car in the allocated space in an underground car park, got out, and then tried to follow the map to the block I had been placed in. The way I read the map, it was not apparent to me that i needed to exit the car park and walk down the street. I was parked near to the exit, which turned out to be an internal exit with the lifts and all the blocks listed by name, so I thought I needed to get to the accommodation that way. It was now dark, late, and raining and once I exited the lift I was in an external quadrant/courtyard so had to use my phone as a torch to see parts of the walkways as they other were only dimly lit in parts. Now my phone wasn't usable as a map. Once again, I was walking around this area for absolutely ages.
I spoke to a lady in the office in advance to arrange a parking space, she was very lovely and helpful, she was the only staff I had to communicate with in advance, and a security guy was very helpful when i couldn't find the block I needed. It's a pretty typical, pretty modern apartment block with windowless corridors. The faint aromas of people's cooking were ever present. The lifts were in working order, and the communal areas were nothing special but were clean, well lit, and the doors securely closed behind you. The apartment itself was really very spacious, the living dining kitchen in particular. It was very well equipped in the kitchen, and a Sainsburys supermarket was literally on the next corner, so I could easily purchase fresh ingredients to make a nice dinner. The induction hob in the apartment was in full working order, as was the fridge/freezer, toaster, and kettle. I didn't use the oven, so I can't comment on that There were a few of the long vertical window blinds missing in the living area, and it looked a little tired and faded decor wise overall, but it was absolutely clean, liveable, neutral decor and there was nothing to be upset about. I didn't see any instructions on how to operate the heating, but I figured it out pretty easily and quickly, and the place got toasty and cosy pretty quickly. I also didn't see anything about the WiFi, I think I was supposed to communicate in advance that I wanted free WiFi, but I missed that instruction, so I wasn't made aware of any login details. It didn't matter to me, I didn't need it, but be aware to advise the company up front if you will need to utilise this. The curtain in the bedroom wasn't completely blocking all light coming in, not an issue to me, I like a bit of daylight as I wake, but if you don't I suggest you shove a few clothes pegs in your travel kit so you can try to clamp the curtain closed more firmly.

SpainThe mattress was very uncomfortable, it felt soft and cheap. Overall the cleanliness was good, but you could see some areas were not clean often (inside the wardrobe for instance, there were a lot of dust balls). Some elements were a bit worn off and should be changed (some lightbulbs not working, blinds dirty and broken, wash machine mouldy...).
Very convenient accomodation in the center of Milton Keynes. The apartment has all the basics needed like kitchenware, kettle, microwave, even oven and wash machine. The Wi-Fi was reliable and perfect to work, and the Sky TV worked perfectly. There were also small nice details, like few coffee, tea and biscuits samples, and a couple of toiletries. Also, having an allocated secured parking space is a plus. The collection of the keys is easy and very close to the actual building. All the instructions are clear and I had no issues accessing the apartment.

Lots of space, great facilities, nice view from the balcony, nice decoration, good location, access secured, and little details like samples of salt, pepper, washing liquid... that make life really easier for a short stay.

United KingdomThe location is fantastic but the reception is terrible. Rang up for directions to get the keys but the reception response she do not know and will ask someone to contact me. The person did contact me back but it was the next morning at 7 am and told me to read the emails properly. I found out this is rude and if I didn't manage to find the keys, me and my friends have to stay outside the buildings. In the end, I manage to find the keys by asking for help from residents there.
