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 KingdomThe best place I have stayed for a long time, cosy basement flat, with a kitchen and living room upstairs with all the facilities you need, I loved the back bedroom which provides a stand still bath which was absolutely lovely and relaxing. I loved the TV upstairs which you were able to move to face the dining table/kitchen area. Kitchen was very clean, neat and modern. 3 minute walk to town which is helpful. Parking right outside as you can pay for a permit during your stay which was very helpful. The decoration and interior design was beautiful and well thought out. Really didn’t want to leave. I book these places for my own space for a couple nights as unable to move into my own flat yet and this place was perfect.

United KingdomThe main issue with this property is something the owner can't necessarily help due to the central location, but parking can be an issue. With it being a permit holder only area, it makes timing things a bit difficult! From 5pm to 9am it's free but most locals are home by then, so parking is a premium! We got EXTREMELY lucky and after 3 laps around the block, we managed to park directly outside! Pure luck on our part though! George does give you the option to pay him for I'm assuming a permit but we worked around the times and luckily, it's free on Sundays! Other than that, honestly, the only other slight downside is the electric shower not working... but the tap shower still works which has great water pressure but is a pain to get the temp right! But once ya get there, its a lovely shower!
The apartment is secure with a decent lock at the main door and apartment door. It's a compact size, which suited us well with the bedroom directly to your left from the entrance, to the bathroom directly in front of you, with a bath, shower, toilet and sink and then the front room/kitchen directly to your right! Admittedly, we didn't use the cooking facilties but everything you would need is there! The size of the rooms if good and the sofa in the front room was pretty comfy, which pulls out to be a sofa bed! TV had streaming services available and was decent enough! WiFi was pretty strong and overall, we'd stay again! The location is pretty handy, with a big shopping complex literally a 4 minute walk away, with the likes of TK Maxx, Primark, JD Sports etc and a massive Asda and a Sainsburys too! A few bars/pubs around from what I could hear while walking around! Worth a stay! Worth noting that George's (owner) communication is also spot on!

United KingdomThere is no cupboard in the bedroom but as I only travelling for 2 nights I was okay living out of my case (there is a hanging rail with coathangers. The boiler is in the bedroom and that did wake me up as/when it clicked on. The bed wasn't very comfortable but the room was warm and clean. I slept on the couch the second night as the matress on bed was too soft and dipped in the middle. The bathroom sink is narrow with cabinets above which makes it a little tricky to brush teeth
The locatiion is excellent, very close to the town, harbour & beach. A huge asda almost across the road. The apartment was spacious with a lovely lounge & kitchen area. Table for eating. Kitchen had all the mod cons and was clean. Oven & microwave in good working order. The bathroom was clean and had a bath (lovely for winter!). The apartement was warm & cosy in the winter weather. As I was travelling alone I watched tele, plenty of options including netflix and wifi service. The decor throughout is beautiful, care & thought have gone into creating this space.

New ZealandIt would have been good to know that we were booking a basement room at time of availability rather than after confirmation. It did say multi level and that was fine. We were surprised that the bed was a sofa bed rather than a real bed although it was quite comfy. Outside was pretty scruffy and did not match the inside tidiness and presentation.

United KingdomThere isn't anything we didn't like, just a couple of suggestions.... A curtain downstairs to create some privacy for people sleeping on the sofa bed would be ideal, for when others are using the stairs or going to the bathroom. And maybe a step for shorter people to use to get into the bath as it is quite a high step over.
Communication was great and the owner sorted out parking for us. The apartment is lovely and exceeded expectations! There's everything you need. The beds are comfy. There's plenty of room for sitting and eating. We would definitely stay here again!.
