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 Kingdomhonestly I struggle to mention any negatives. the only thing was we had to be careful on the walkway to the apartment as it was very slippery in parts when wet. this isn't a negative comment just an fyi.
free and easy parking, instructions were excellent regarding the apartment. everything we needed for our break. didn't have a need to contact the owners as all information was plentiful. we would 100% return here if we visit Bath again. even got to meet the owners lurcher who seemed to be just checking we were safely inside :-)

United KingdomLovely place to stay . Stunning location by the River , lovely house with a great Balcony with river views . The place was very comfortable and clean . The location is perfect and a short walk into town or catch the free boat in the morning . We regularly stay in self catering villas/apartments, Toad Hall at the Boating station is definitely one of the best we’ve stayed in. .We will definitely go back . Bath is a great place to visit .

Fabulous family run business in a beautiful location! The girls who were running the boating station were really friendly and helpful. We had a lazy day sat on the grass watching the boats going by before a short walk into Bath. We had the apartment which is more than spacious for a couple and has everything ypu will need! We will definitely return. 😊

United KingdomThe very noisy springy bed and mattress, albeit comfy. Leaving!!!
From the moment we arrived we loved the Boating Station. It’s a fabulous place, kept to a very high standard, easy to find, well situated for town, on the river bank of course, has on-site parking, and with a lovely restaurant too. The owners / staff made us feel very welcome and were so friendly, as were the two family dogs who roam freely and are no trouble at all. We stayed in the Garden Room which has everything you need, and the best views of the river. In the morning you can catch a complementary ride into town on one of the big boats at 9.30 & 10ish. You can also hire one of the smaller boats throughout your stay to have a go yourself. The whole place is just amazing, and family members staying elsewhere were in awe of it all. If it was mine I wouldn’t want to share it!

United KingdomBeing really picky - but as weather was beautiful could have just done with the outside furniture being more comfortable to sit and relax. We also found the tiles in the shower a little slippy so could have done with a rubber mat.
Beautiful location, very comfortable, had everything you needed. Apart from your personal items didn’t need to take anything else. Very convenient free parking. Literally couldn’t fault it.

Property set in beautiful setting beside the lake, very peaceful and calm. Lovely gardens, well-lit in the evening and great to spend some time in. Easy walking distance into Bath, and passing various points of interest makes the walk go by even quicker! And if you want to rest your legs = the free boat into town was brilliant and a lovely extra treat. Was like a ‘home from home’ with lots of amenities provided, included starter teabags and coffee.
