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 KingdomHaving a check in time of 5.00pm seems totally unreasonable given we were only staying one night and even after I had explained we were there to see my elderly father and have a family meal together the check in time was still 5.00pm... unless I paid an extra £20.00. Which I did but I was very disappointed with the position. The shower performance was really poor and the bath backed up with water very quickly. The kitchen was equipped but very basic and there should be better cutlery. The paint was peeling in the bathroom and laminate coming off some of the kitchen cupboards. I appreciate these are minor issues but when you are paying £190 for less than 24 hours you have the right to expect the accommodation to be spot on. In future, I will book an apartment further out of town and arrange for a taxi to take my Dad home. It will still leave me better off.
The location was great. The flat was spacious. The beds were comfy. Having a parking space in Swindon is always a winner. The hosts were responsive and helpful. I had an issue with not being able to make the oven work. Marcus actually came to the flat on a Saturday evening and resolved the issue. He was personable and welcoming.

United KingdomThe lift was out of action. There was also a rather pungent smell in the corridors (again, not the apartment) which could be linked to the drainage. More of a building maintenance issue not apartment related.
Marcus was incredibly friendly and helpful, meeting us on arrival to show us to the apartment (and even carrying a large bag we had with us). The apartment was spacious, well equipped and had a great view, it also felt very secure.

United KingdomSadly during our stay the lift wasn't working but I had been advised of this in a timely manner by our hosts, it was however slightly challenging physically to get to the fifth floor each time (90 steps) but could not be helped by hosts due to management not progressing quickly enough.
Very spacious apartment, lots of seating areas for comfort, kitchen area had enough items to accommodate for 4 people. Very comfortable beds. Considering how many apartments there are in the block including young families it was a very quiet and respectful place to stay. Free parking. 5 minutes walk to the town centre. Great communication with hosts.

United KingdomThe apartment was in 5th floor with no lift. We had no idea about this until we completed the booking. It looked like the lift had not been working for several weeks together. It would have been reasonable if the host had mentioned this in the listing. It was very hard for the family with small kids to climb 10 fleets of stairs (2 fleets per floor) after a long journey.
Apartment was clean and well-maintained. The host was warm and friendly

United KingdomThe lift was out of order and we didn't know about this until we arrived. The apartment was on the top floor which was 90 steps so lucky we are fit. It was baking hot and the windows were either closed or fully open, there was no way to just have them on vent. When they were fully open they weren't safe for children. It could also do with having better blinds. The stairwell was smelly and the apartment was quite noisy from the road below.
Large lounge space and comfortable beds. Personal greeting on arrival to hand over keys
