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 KingdomEverything fine- just couple of minor gripes; TV didn't turn on, we tried not really an issue as were only there for the night. Also the twin bedroom had thin silver blinds so let day light in the early morning, (maybe thicker curtains to block the light would be better). On the whole though, very pleased with our stay.
Spacious apartment, homely, well equipped modern kitchen, two bathrooms, one en suite (great!) big wardrobes, free parking. Good communication with owner.

United KingdomA lot of stairs! The shower in the main bathroom has to hand held as no wall brackets. The twin room needs better blinds or some curtains.
Clean , bright and plenty of space for the three of us. Nice to have two bathrooms with 3 ladies needing to get ready!

United KingdomThe boiler makes a hell of a noise all the time, the TV does not work unless you mirror your phone with the screen, there were some dirty elements to the property. The pans were really dated and the handles were nearly falling off. There was a party going on below us which was going on until the early hours and someone was leaning on the buzzer so you could hear their conversation from outside. Bit dingy but overall alright
Reasonably good facilities and nice area. Close to the centre and golf club for a party we were attending. Smelt lovely and the heating was well circulated around the apartment.

United Kingdom- towels I think were clean, but were stained with what looked like fake tan or make up of some sort - no hand towels - floors could do with a bit more attention - fluff and hair along the edges but generally were clean
- Parking permit was handy, although there is also a car park very nearby (which was good as we had two cars with us) - heating was on which was good as it was freezing outside - shower good pressure and plenty of hot water - spacious - two bathrooms is really handy - communication from host was excellent - instructions of how to get in were easy to follow - location is absolutely excellent for town - really good price compared to other places in town - building is nice and quiet considering its location

UkraineThe mattresses in the bed were a bit too soft and springy for my back. Had to manage with some back pain due to which I couldn’t sleep that well. Myself and my wife both were working during the trip and the WiFi/internet connection was very critical for us for our work related video calls. While the apartment does include a WiFi/internet connection, it was unreliable and stopping from time to time (we were forced to go to a local pub for taking work related calls on several occasions due to the poor internet connectivity).
The apartment was very spacious . Living, kitchen , bathrooms and bedrooms were all very well equipped. Given the space & 2 bedrooms included, the price of the apartment was much lower than the average prices of similar new properties in Chelmsford. The location is within 10-15 minutes walking distance from the Chelmsford railway station & the Central Park in Chelmsford. The furniture and furnishings in the living room, bathrooms were all brand new

United KingdomDisappointed with the cleanliness. The shower tray in the en-suite filled up with water, the drain was clogged with hair. The window sills covered in dust and debris, windows were dirty and had marks on them. Double bed was two single beds put together, one was more raised than the other so really uncomfortable. Blind falling down, throw looked like it had just thrown on the sofa, presentation in the living area poor.
Straightforward to get into the apartment. Welcoming and smooth communication via messages.

Boiler in the kitchen was noisy and leaking water . Cooking pans were dirty and need replacing! Blind in the bedroom didn't fit the window so light flooded the room very early. No hand wash in the dispenser and no hand towel. Couldn't get the TV to work at all. Looked dated ,needs a spruce up.
