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 KingdomThe fitted venetian blinds don't fit the windows and let in too much light waking us up at 5am . Black out blinds are needed. Also, having a double bed up against the wall made it difficult to get in and out of bed
The location of the apartment was perfect for the shopping centre, Plymouth hoe and the barbican area. The apartment was fitted out to a high standard .

United KingdomThis particular stay we were on the top floor so the seagulls got quite noisy in the morning. But obviously that can’t really be helped by the Fox House themselves, just something I noticed
It’s in a great location and I thought it was great value for money too. Our room had everything we needed and was modern and light and we had a very comfortable stay the both times we have stayed here.

United KingdomFor a longer stay, the apartment would have been ideal - however, we were expecting a slightly more ‘plush’ sleeping experience in terms of comfort, as we were only staying overnight. The apartment had a lovely bathroom, and the kitchen was equipped with all you’d need (though we didn’t require this). But the bed was pushed against the wall and the mattress was uncomfortable and I found I rolled into the centre of the bed as it wasn’t well sprung. It was also very, very warm in the room despite being a cold day for mid June - though a fan was provided. If we were to book to stay in Plymouth again for the same purpose and pay the same price we would choose a boutique hotel room for a more luxurious stay; though the room would be ideal for anyone looking for a few nights self-catering in Plymouth.
The location of the property is ideal for accessing Plymouth City centre. We were attending Plymouth Summer Sessions on the hoe, and it was within easy walking distance of the apartment and local pubs were nearby. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

United KingdomMore attention to detail is needed when cleaning. The floor was in need of a good clean, and the walls need wiping down as lots of marks.
I love the location and that you have everything you need in one room. The staff are always super helpful.

United KingdomThe property is very central and this came with noise from the pub close by and noisy residents knocking on their door in the early hours, followed shortly by the seagull chorus starting at daylight.
The first thing I noticed was that all areas of the property were very clean and modern.

CanadaNo ventilation, had to open windows in the middle of the night to get some fresh air. I checked out early dropping a key card in the box. As they got a £100 deposit, I assumed it will be back automatically but it’s not the case. Had to call twice, write 2 emails (which they just ignored) and finally they messaged me just after complaining to Booking.com Got my deposit back but don’t think will be staying there in the future.
Good location, easy check in.
