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 KingdomChecking in was an issue - booking said could check-in 2pm. Admittedly arriving 10 minutes early but was told the room should be available in 30-45 minutes. As there is only a single receptionist the office was locked on arrival - not a problem in itself but keys hadn't been left in the secure box for self check-in and trying to then contact the receptionist took longer than it should have done.
Clean and comfortable accommodation for a one night business trip. Given the length of stay I didn't use the full extent of the facilities in the kitchen etc but it did seem very well equipped. Some furnishings showing the age but no real hardship as a result of this.

United KingdomRooms were not ready 2 hours after check in time, no staff on site, had to wait 40 mins for staff to turn up for them to say none of the rooms had been cleaned yet. Given keys to the room and told we could sit in the room and wait for the cleaners to finish. Reception staff allowed 2 hour add on to check out time as room was not booked the next day.
Great location, good communication before arrival, reception staff very friendly

United KingdomThere was no extractor fan (or broken) in the shower so it got steamed up and smells wouldn’t go. The bath was blocked up and water kept flowing up. The apartment is a bit run down and aged.
Good location and an affordable price. Quite large for the price.

United KingdomCheck in was mildly confusing- the place was a bit understaffed, and it seemed Jo and the two cleaners were really over-stretched, leading to a slightly late check in. They were all excellent, friendly and efficient, but clearly needed an extra hand or two. Also, I had to call ahead to make sure they gave me parking instructions, since they were not included in my welcome email by mistake. Also, it may be a good idea to have the wifi password written somewhere in the room- we had to call the internet service number to get it.
Apartment was clean, facilities were good, everything worked and the staff were very attentive and lovely. The car parking facility was convenient, safe and easy to use, also. Loved having a dishwasher.

United KingdomExcellent place to stay for 2 night work trip. So much better than a hotel. Lots of space. Full kitchen including full size oven and fridge freezer, together with microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. Nice touches of mini coffee, tea, milk and biscuits. Practical stuff like washing up liquid etc means not buying anything like that. Comfy bed. Plenty of storage. Wifi was great for me to do work and even a dining room table to sit at. Plus Netflix and Prime. Emails sent re access. I arrived after reception closed and before they started but no issues getting in or checking out. Will definitely always stop here when in Birmingham

All perfect except wifi. I was there on business but was unable to conduct zoom meetings so I wan't be able to return until the wifi is sorted out. Other than that it was brilliant and I would highly recommend it. Perfect location for me, incredibly clean, quiet, convenient, great kitchen. All very comfortable. Receptionist was really lovely. Will definitely visit again but ONLY IF the WIFI is improved /updated

United KingdomIt was stated that we would receive daily cleaning. In 4 days, our room was not visitied once. We only had 1 bath and 1 hand towel between us the whole time. We only had 2 toilet rolls also and ran out on the 2nd to last day.
Lovely greeting. Room very spacious. Plenty of considerate supplies such as salt pepper washing up liquid and clothes etc.

United KingdomWhen we arrived to check in we were treated poorly by the management, the man assumed we were going to cause trouble at the apartment and spoke very rudely to my husband. It felt like a racial thing when he saw my brother and husband bringing in our foods and supplies. This was disheartening since I had booked 2 days for us to have some time away before our baby comes, we were having friends over for after our baby shower dinner. It was meant to be a nice weekend but it started off so poorly that the stress of the beginning just made me tired.
The property itself was great, all the necessities are there and it’s at a great location.

United KingdomI was given the wrong entry code and safe code prior to arrival and had to ring the emergency line - apparently I was given the codes for the following day, which feels like a security risk. It’s nice that they provide free Wi-Fi but it was really poor, and the phone signal on my network is also quite bad at the location, which would be a problem for more than a single overnight stay.
Apartments are right behind The Mailbox so very centrally located. My apartment was clean and comfortable.
