Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOur only issue would be about the bathtub mat which did not stick properly in the bath and all three of us had slips and/or falls with it so we ended up not using it at all - it probably needs replaced.
Close by to amenities, quiet, comfortable.

United KingdomThe layout of the property is odd with having to go up or down stairs for nearly everything. Parking was initially a bit daunting as it was in an unlit narrow back lane but we did get used to that.
Location was good for us. Everything we wanted was present and in good condition. The bed was comfortable and so was the other seating. The instructions on how to find the place, where to park and how to get the key were good. The host responded promptly to questions.

United KingdomI'd have loved to have seen some guide rails on the outside steps and grab rails particularly on the shower, but we coped without (slowly and gingerly, admittedly), Other than that, it was excellent value.
Close to where we needed to be, good facilities in the accommodation, within walking distance of supermarkets, shops, garages and take aways. Quirky flat on different levels. My sister and I managed ok, but wouldn't be suitable for everyone. The owner does explain before you go, so it shouldn't end up as a negative point. The flat has everything you need for a fairly comfortable stay, it's quiet, plenty of room, the beds are incredibly comfortable and hot water runs from the combi boiler so there's plenty to do all you need. Tim was always just at the end of the phone to help out when needed.

United KingdomThere isn’t much that would stop us from staying again but the shared garden was a problem for us, the people staying in the house next door weren’t to respectful so the garden area being separated would be a much for us to stay again. Also the carpet around the toilet - but I can get over that and no tea towels in the kitchen.
Location was fantastic. The house is exactly what I would expect for the amount we paid. Loved that there was a working washing machine. The house was clean and the living room felt cosy. I know some reviews mention the furniture not being up to scratch but as we were staying with dogs we didn’t mind/preferred this. Tim was so wonderful, friendly and accommodating.

United KingdomDue to the differing floor levels this apartment was slightly inconvenient for more elderly people, and would not suit anyone with mobility problems, as they would be unable to access the property.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortable.
