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.).

IndonesiaThe main bedroom and the living room are a bit cold at a snowy day, even with the heater set on 25°C, it could only reach at about 14-15°C maximum. However the host provides a blanket in all of the rooms including the living room, so it's still okay.
It's all really clean and really warm in the first floor's bed rooms. All heater already set in the moment of your arrival.

United KingdomThe fire in the living room had been disconnected so did not work which was not mentioned beforehand and visiting in november we would have liked to use it but it was warm enough with the radiators. The decking needs replacing in the yard it didn't feel safe in places and our yorkies leg slipped through some of the wider gaps where some repairs had been done on a number occasions. If these were sorted would definitely return next year.
Host was easy to contact and helpful, entry was easy with a key code, on street parking was no problem, location near to beach and park was excellent. The property was lovely and suited our needs as a family of 3. The beds in the double and twin room were very comfortable, the shower was hot and powerful, the sofa was comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could need bar few extra knives. All in all we had a lovely stay in a lovely cottage in a quiet location near everything we wanted to visit. Would recommend and love to return.

United KingdomThe upstairs ceilings are quite low but we expected this from the pictures and we didn’t find it to be an issue really!
We travelled with our mother in law who has poor mobility so having a bedroom and bathroom on one floor was perfect. The property was very clean, street was quiet, and it was a short walk to the park and beach. We took our dog and the surrounding area is extremely dog friendly so no issue to find somewhere to eat with him and areas of the beach are dog friendly all year.

United KingdomWe used all 3 bedrooms, it would be better if there was a proper bed and mattress in the room upstairs that had a flat/sofa bed, as it wasn't very comfortable you could feel the slats through the mattress.
Where the house was situated, the size was good, clean and good communication with the host.

United KingdomOn arrival parking was a problem as the streets are narrow with most cars parked on pavement to allow space so was mostly parked on main road at bottom of ritson Street.Luckily I took my Renault kadjar and not my porsche cayenne as I would have struggled. In flat itself the property has damp issues and there is a smell of it. So I purchased air freshners to block out odours. The living room is spacious but has uncomfortable sofa and low to ground plus decorating is poor . Flat could do with a decorators touch. Kitchen has all you need bathroom is fine shower power is good. Was never upstairs as we used downstairs bedroom. Bed was very comfortable.
Great location for beach and local shops . Roker Park seafront facilities. Morrisons isn't far . If your a good walker. Aldi is a car drive
