How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

as it was so hot access to the back garden would have been helpful as sitting out front you were next to a busy main road. No other complaints at all
The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had all the appliances needed, there was a could lounge area for sitting in and the bathroom and shower were superb. Free parking outside the door was an added bonus, as well as the superb resturant opposite

Curtain/door from second bedroom to living room; it was uncomfortable with friend sleeping on the sofa effectively in the same room as a couple. If they need the toilet they had to walk through the bedroom to get to it.
Fantastic building and furnishings, loved the quirkiness.

Quite a few things. There was no toilet paper besides the little that was on the roll when we arrived. We also couldn't find out how to switch the light on for the main bedroom - not too sure if this was us or a general electrical fault. These are not deal breakers and can be fixed quite easily. The location, if you like quite is excellent but if your are looking for restaurants it is a little isolated. We walked into town for dinner and ordinarily it wouldn't be a problem but the walkover bridge to cross a very busy road has been occupied by homeless making it a little unsafe. We ended up driving into the city center instead which was not ideal.
The accommodation is definitely quite "quirky" and the area it is located in is very quite. After a week we had built up quite a bit of laundry and the washing machine was a welcome sight!

Not a darn thing I didn't like. Place was perfect
This place was amazing. The historical aspects and architecture were amazing. That aside the beds were comfortable there were plenty of things in the kitchen if needed. We did not cook as this is Memphis and we wanted BBQ lol The location was great. Breakfast right across the street and not too far from Beale St and many other amazing places I honestly can not say enough about this place. The hosts were amazing and attentive. Answered all questions and very helpful making sure we had everything we needed. Instructions were clear and easy to understand I can not wait to visit Memphis again and would not hesitate to stay at Shellcrest!!

Please remove the air fresheners. They were very strong and overwhelming every time we entered the apartment. Parallel parking in front of the apartment was challenging at times especially if other cars did not provide enough space.
Apartment was close to downtown and grocery stores. Good location for exploring Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Kitchen was clean and well stocked with the right equipment for making breakfast and other meals as needed. Clean, safe, and comfortable even with a tornado warning!

There was a mound of dirty towels/comforters right as you open the door when we checked in. This wasn’t nice to see, we also saw the bed completely unmade and dirty mugs in the kitchen sink. Very disappointed, seemed lazy and would prevent us from rebooking if not addressed by the owner.
Very cute property. really nice updates to the home.

I wouldn't return too late unless you have a decent size group with you. This is a feature of Memphis, not of this property.
We came down for a quick weekend and it was a very convenient location! We were able to drive to everything in a very reasonable amount of time and the parking was available all the time. The apartment itself was spacious and had a nice kitchen.

-The beds were not very comfortable: one was very old (which looks great!) but made a lot of noise. The other one was too small for two persons and you felt every move of the other person. -The cleanliness of the appartement could be better. -The windows could not be opened for some fresh air, I guess because of the construction period.
-The building is very nice looking with an historic athmosphere. Also, it has everything you need like a big fridge, dish washer, living room with television, etc. -The WiFi was good. -The diner across the street is nice for breakfast! -The free street parking is also a plus. -The building has a outdoor seating area.

If you're charging this amount and advertising a balcony from the bedroom the whole area at the back of the house needs cleaned up
