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 KingdomWe would have liked if there was a coffee machine available.
The apartment was exceptionally decorated with a very unique New York style. My husband and I loved the attention to detail that the host has taken and the ingenuity of the built. Location was a 15 min walk from the centre but there were plenty of restaurants and markets around it.

United KingdomWish the restaurant opened earlier on a Sunday, check out at 11am but its not open until 10am, would also be ideal if it was a little closer in walking distance go the centre.
The room was such a vibe, immaculate and a really good size. Loved the Brownie on arrival, the easy coded door and the lights controlled by Alexa. We will definitely be staying again and would love to see what 31B is like too!

United KingdomNothing at all
I have come to the end of a 3 month work secondment in Norwich. A lot of that time I have been at Urban Stays. And it will forever be my first choice of accommodation should I need it in the future. I have run out of good things to say in these reviews over the weeks, but to sum up, I will long remember the ‘wow’ moment the first time I stepped foot in 31a. It’s beautiful. It’s practical. I have loved staying there. So long …. And thanks for all the brownies!

United KingdomThe Alexa kept having issues and failing to recognise commands, but it didn't detract from our stay at all. Also the bed is a little rickety, but again not a big issue. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
Fabulous little studio apartment, really quirky and fun. Has everything you need and then some. Good location although not totally central. Great cafe downstairs for breakfasts. We absolutely loved it!

United KingdomNot much not to like. It might not be your cup of tea decor wise... otherwise I would highly recommend it.
Stayed twice now... will probably be back again shortly for work. The place literally caught my breathe when I first walked in. I think the decor is AMAZING, and its not style over function either. Everything works! Oh and its literally 5mins from where our Norwich depot is.
