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.).

Tea and coffee were the only food items provided for breakfast. the flat was modern and light. Generally liked it very much for our short stay

United KingdomMaybe a bit more attention to detail on cleaning but nothing of significance
This is a lovely, very cosy, feels like home from home apartment. Very well equipped, comfortable, nice decoration , great views from high up and a perfect location for St Albans/train to London - hosts could not have been more helpful. Would definitely recommend.

United KingdomWould have liked instructions about using the oven, which was complicated. The radiators were not fully working, and though the owners (a company in Birmingham) tried to be helpful, this was never fixed. There were two wine glasses, one champagne glass and no water glasses in an apartment meant for 4.
Quiet ground floor apartment, which I needed after a hip replacement. The apartment block is right by the mainline railway, we were the opposite side which was quiet, but I would hate to stay the railway side. Well equipped.

United KingdomCould do with a bit of vacuuming. External keypad (to enter the building) is very slow and unresponsive, we had trouble getting into the building a few times.
Good location, short walk to the station or St Albans city centre. Friendly and helpful host.

United KingdomThe hot water wasn’t sufficient and had to boost for 2 people to have a shower. The apartment could do with some TLC E.g paint work, sofa in sitting room was stained, stains on carpet and some marks on furniture, bathroom fixtures discoloured or rusted, which we felt we had to photograph to prove this wasn’t our damage during our stay should it be required. Netflix stated as being available which wasn’t although not a big issue as we weren’t in often.
The location was very good and central to the train station and city centre. The apartment was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomLots of building work going on around, so woke up early every morning. Parking a bit hit and miss. A very small apartment, it;s got everything you need, but it is compact.
Modern, small, clean, well maintained apartment close to St Albans train station. Easy key collection once I asked for the instructions.

United KingdomWarmer/ thicker duvet would be good. Hot water a slight issue - you have to press a button 20/30 mins before you need it but wasn’t a problem - you just need to remember to do it.
Great location, well equipped and a good little place to stay. The host responds to any queries very quickly. Easy to get in with key in lock box and good instructions given in advance. Deposit returned very quickly.

United KingdomBuilding works opposite are a pain - especially as workmen arrive v early and make a lot of noise even before proper work starts. Flat would benefit from replacing a few things which haven't worn well eg internal door handles and taps as they detract from all that is really nice about the place.
V convenient location. Nice flat.

United KingdomWe had no hot water during our stay, we located the water heater and used the controls and the boost button but no hot water ever came on the water was freezing cold. No help was provided via the text, e-mail or phone to their customer care and they have not responses to my complaints after promising to address them. All round very disappointing and a real lack of interest in resolving. Hot water is a standard basic requirement for any stay and they failed to take this on board or even address my complaint. How you treat and handle customer issues is extremely important.
