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 KingdomNot the owners fault but smelled like previous guests had smoked something in there…… The bar across the street played loud music late into the night. Understandably this can’t be avoided being a city centre location. But the welcome basket had ear plugs in them so that was nice.
Very spacious and clean, 2 showers and toilets, modern kitchen and spacious dining area. Checking in was smooth. Really easy to follow instructions to get in to the property and then in to the apartment.

United KingdomJust a couple of observations really, nothing that had an impact on our stay. A table or wall lamp in the lounge for a bit more ambient lighting, a row of coat hooks in the hall and a bedside lamp or two could be beneficial.
The location was just what we wanted, in the centre of Leicester City. Perfect! The flat was modern, well equipped and very clean. One newly decorated bathrom and one newly decorated en-suite was great for four people. Communication with the manager before and during the stay was excellent. There is not a lot of parking in the area but the multi-story car park on Newarke Street solved that issue and was only three minutes walk away.

United KingdomRock hard pillows,coffee tables wobbly dangerous with hot drinks,they only need tightening up. Bedside lights and hooks in the bathroom, maybe coathooks in the hallway for outdoor coats.
Excellent city centre location,felt safe. Comfortable apart from the pillows ( rock hard) this has been commented on in previous reviews. Very close to the Cathedral and Richard 3 visitors centre, good pubs and eateries.

Clean, comfortable, and nearly everything one could need - at a great location in the centre of town.

United KingdomThe flat was opposite a bar that was so loud and didn’t close till 4am. The kitchen equipment was very minimal and the comfort level of the decor was sparse. Had a fire alarm go off in the night as well so not the best nights sleep
The appartment was very clean and spacious with a central location. Communication was clear on how to enter

United KingdomThe only let down was the beds were a bit too firm with very solid pillows. I think its just a personal preference though. The other issue was just noise. There is a night club opposite and you can hear the music until 4am. In fairness, the apartment is in a busy city centre with lots of nightlife. They do kindly provide earplugs, so just be prepared!
Very beautiful building and the apartment was pristine. Its beautifully decorated and has everything you need, including a thoughtful little basket of goodies. The living room was very comfortable and had a good quality TV(it was more HD than real life), so it was great for relaxing. The whole apartment also feels very secure and private. I would happily stay again and recommend it to other people

United KingdomWithout aircon and the ability to open windows it was very warm and stuffy as we stayed during warm weather. It’s also quite a noisy location, when the bar opposite closes and the bottle bins are filled, people leave after closure etc. The main shower room has a toilet with cistern/basin that although a great idea isn’t practical for washing your face. Some shelving would also be good for a toothbrush/paste etc, the socket is there but there’s nowhere to put whatever has been plugged in. The toilet seat moves too, just needs to be tightened up? Minor things and we only stayed a night but it would make a difference.
Great location, beautiful building and design of apartment with high ceilings and spacious layout. Spotless and newly refurbished? Friendly staff who we met when checking out.

United KingdomThe bathrooms were a bit small but beautiful and Morden lol.
The owner communicated throughout and was flexible to my needs :) . The location is just about 15min walk from the train station , close to a McDonald’s and other food stores + restaurants just a few steps away. Pocklington is really secure felt safe the entire time. Check in was smooth , really easy instructions. Whole apartment was clean and tidy.had towels ,soaps and some snacks left for us. Rooms were big enough . I would recommend this self catering apartment.

United KingdomThe district and surrounds are city centre, which is very convenient for all facilities but can be noisy at night. It's great for nightlife in Leicester though and the relaxing room to return to was fab.
The property was stunning inside, really beautifully renovated, spacious with tall ceilings, and interesting facts about the building hidden in the décor. Amazing attention to detail: included antique books on the coffee table relating to the Town Clerk's role in 1877 when working in that building then. We were attending a burlesque review at the Firebug which was located across the road from the Pocklington, so I appreciated that it was such a short walk in high heels. I couldn't find towels in the room but a quick text to host and there was someone at the door with towels within fifteen minutes.
