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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Got what you paid for.if the hosts could spend a few hundred quid on the place i.e. the kitchen and bathroom,new handle on the window etc would make it more attractive,comfortable beds. Indian restaurant nextdoor Chinese takeaway across the road,dessert shop nearby, all open till late, okay for a 2 night stopover

United KingdomFilthy! The sofa had a massive stain on it which looked like someone been having sex on it. Rotten food in the cupboard & the oven had no numbers on the knobs on the cooker. Bathroom light didn’t work & the mold around the bath was black & disgusting. There was an iron burn on the carpet & blood drips on the carpet in one bedroom. People in the back alley swearing & being really loud at 2am which just isn’t on. No bathmatt, no bin lid & the list goes on. I may be a contractor but this was by far the worst place I have stayed in 20 years working away. I feel robbed to be honest & that property need a mega overhaul very quickly if he wishes to carry on letting this.
The only thing I liked about this property was the location. Had everything I needed

United KingdomThe major problem with the apartment is that there is no parking and as it's on a busy road it was difficult to unload our car.
The apartment was in a very good location and situated very close to the venue we were visiting. The apartment was very basic but definitely worked for us as a group.

United KingdomWhen we arrived (December 2nd) the heating wasn't working. To the hosts credit he arranged a repair within an hour. We returned to the apartment after a night out with the heating fully on and no understanding of how to turn the heating off or use the boiler controls for the morning as there were no instruction manuals available and going online was a chore. The booking information did not state there was a kitchen bizarrely as we would have taken some basic breakfast things. There was no plug in the bathroom sink so if you wanted a shave you'd struggle. There is plenty of hanging space in the main bedroom The general presentation felt clean but the apartment as a whole is very tired, the bed is awful - two single mattresses joined together and the bathroom could do with a makeover. Instructions for the heating system please though!
Location was ideal close to my son's flat in Henwick Road

CanadaThe main dislike was the toilet kept blocking. Nor did it flush properly when I had unblocked it. The bathroom had an odor to it. The Two twin beds were uncomfortable, yo could feel the springs of the mattress through them. The sofa bed, although pulled out could not really be slept on because the frame between the seats was metal and could be felt as you lay on it. The floor had not been vacuumed and there were sweets found on the floor from the previous people. The tap in the kitchen sink dripped when not in use and leaked when it was in use. I notified the owner of the toilet situation who offered to get a plumber out at "the earliest convenience" we did not see a plumber throughout our entire stay. Our stay was cut short due to the toilet situation. The front door did not lock from either the outside or the inside despite having the key. I am not a complainer and do not try and find fault with everything but I think I would have rather camped in a tent then here.
instructions to find the place and how to get into the lock box for they keys were comprehensive and clear.

United KingdomThe table legs were broken I had to try and make it so it wouldn't fall on my 1 year old. The mattress was so over used I had to put the duvet and the spare one I found in the cupboard underneath me to find any sort of comfort. Luckily it was warm enough for just a blanket. The sofa again had little to no comfort, just over use I would assume. There was also an issue with the living room door not closing properly without having to slam it. Even the ubank provided for cleaning didn't work. That side of things left a lot to be desired.
Love the price, love the location the flat itself is big enough for purpose and I literally like the layout. This is my second stay in these apartments. Last year I was on the 1st floor. I would probably stay again as I love the location and the fact that it is close to local amenities. The price is also relatively fair too. As I spent most of my time outside sight seeing and meeting up with old friends this apartment works great as a base to just come back, cook and sleep in. If I were going to be spending more time 😀 in my accommodation then I would probably stay elsewhere.

NetherlandsHygiene!!! - The mold in the bathroom was too much for me. The ceiling was almost black above the shower area and some joints were more black than white. - Also the rubber edge of the refrigerator was ripped and not clean (it still did work, but probably not as environmental as could be). - The table in the living area was not stable, you can not lean your elbows on it while sitting down. - The light in the bathroom did not work after the first night and did not get fixed while we were there. Luckily we brought a flashlight with us. - The bed lights in the bigger bedroom were not plugged, but on empty batteries and therefore hardly worked. There is no wall outlet on the headboard side (not a problem, just good to know)A broken plank in the small cabinet in the big bedroom (not a problem, just sloppy). - When we took out plates and bowls from the kitchen, we first had to clean them, there was also only 1 knife.
The location for us was great, one of the reasons we booked this. WIFI was working great.

QatarThe apartment lacked basic amenities as listed at the time of booking. It seems that it was not made ready to host. Cleanliness was also an issue... especially the sofa cum bed looks old and dirty. The beds were also not very comfortable. The place was very noisy all the time. In day because of a primary school near by and in night, due to hotel next door. Its certainly not soundproof as claimed in the details.
Location is good... close to shops and at decent distance from city center

United KingdomOutside apartment - Parking was an absolute nightmare and lots of cigarette ends on floor near communal door entrance Inside apartment - False plants on the stairs had been tampered with so all the decorative balls were scattered everywhere so potential trip hazard and safety issue. Not enough plates and cutlery in kitchen and bathroom was extremely damp whereby floor was uneven due to damp in flooring and damp patches all around the bath. The bath was also dirty with grime.
The location was good and a lovely local welcoming pub opposite

United KingdomThe bathroom was very tired. It was not very clean. The toilet flush did not work properly. The toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall as was the towel holder. The toilet seat was only held on one side. The bathroom shelf was only held up with some pot otherwise that would have fallen off too. Floor tiles were missing. The kitchen cutlery was dirty. The bed in the lounge had no sheet. The dining table was so loose we were afraid to touch it as it had a glass top. Several picture hooks missing a picture. The mattress someone else mentioned a while ago that is out the back is still there. Seemed that having to be out by 9 am smacks of getting the most money for the shortest stay. I did get one reply from the owners about getting access to the keys, so there's a positive.
Location was very good for our needs. Two out of the three bedrooms were quiet at night.

United KingdomI don't like my review to be like this, but I have to say this. There was no elevator, so you have to walk up the stairs with your luggage to your floor. The beds in the other room were not comfy, you can feel the pain and the noise when you are sitting on them. There was leftover food from the previous guests in the fridge and the toilet drain was smelling bad and the smell was coming out to the rest of the house when opening the door.
The house was ok, especially the main bedroom was comfortable, the kitchen, and the living was fantastic. The apartment was so big, I loved it.
