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 KingdomThe area was a little intimidating. You have to walk within a block of flats to get to the accommodation, which involves stairs - beware of the pigeons who live in the flats - and their mess on the floor. Once inside however, the accommodation is lovely.
Very clean, modern accommodation which 6 people comfortably stayed in. Very near to town so could walk to the shops.

United KingdomEntrance and landing g to building was a bit off-putting as alot of pigeon feathers and dirt. Made us a bit apprehensive about accommodation but was good once inside. Sink in en-suite cracked and very small, difficult to use. Clearer information to find building would also have helped.
Good location, easy to find and walk into City. Accommodation ideal for group of adults. Comfortable beds and well equipped.

United KingdomThe only negative would be the type of building it is located in Also a lot of stairs to access
Location was amazing, few minutes walk from the train station, walking distance to old town/city centre. It's a two storey flat, really good size bedrooms, two out of four are ensuite. Really light, fresh and modern. We loved staying there

United KingdomThe surroundings. There were a lot of bird droppings all over the corridors and stairways to the apartment. Seemed to be a bit of a problem all around the neighbourhood.
We loved the central location, and the clean apartment. The free parking spaces were a big selling point too.

United KingdomDifficult to find the property- no number on the building. The property is in an old council block so on the outside it doesn't look very appealing- lots of pigeons everywhere as well as pigeon poo. Also, the property is being advertised as sleeping 10. There are only seats for 4 people in the living room/dining area. Fitting 10 would be impossible. Ideal place for a family of 4-5 max. The property could do with some TLC- a hole in the floor under the carpet, temperature dials in the shower not working so could only use 1 out of 3 showers, make- up marks on the ceiling, a cracked sink... Advertised as a property with a balcony but the balcony is not accessible.
Loved the location- just a short walk from the city centre. You also receive a free parking permit.

United KingdomInsufficient supplies in kitchen to self cater had to purchase forks. Furniture and seating tired with insufficient space and chairs to cater for full occupancy around the table and to relax in front of the TV Not a pleasant building with rubbish in communal areas and dingy corridors. Only one permit provided despite advising the 5 guests would be in 2 cars. Short stay parking available within a few hundred metres
Affordable. Easy walking distance of Chester town centre Secure parking and complex access. Plenty hot water, clean bathrooms and nice to have 3 showers to share. Lovely and warm

United KingdomThe area is a bit seedy, although it is only a 10 minute walk to the centre so very convenient. The block is also pretty grim, although the flat is very nice. We found it hard to find initially. Would have liked an information pack to tell us how the heating worked, etc.
We liked that it was warm and the beds were comfortable. It was clean and reasonably well equipped, although there were only 3 of us. If there had been more people there wouldn't have been enough seating in the living area. The bathrooms were smart and clean but the upstairs sinks and showers did not drain very well.

United KingdomThis flat is within a residential block and the communal entrance and stairways are filthy. Long term pigeon residents make for a deeply off-putting arrival. Inside the property is better but everything is worn (settees and beds) and far from comfortable.
The location, although unglamorous, was convenient for the train station and bus interchange and for the city centre.

CanadaThe building hallways were quiet dirty because of the pigeons. The property manager needs to clean and maintain the common areas. The toilet on the main floor had a sewer smell. The beds could do with mattress toppers. The couch in the main living area was very uncomfortable. A second set of keys would have been helpful as we had 2 families staying together and we’re not always travelling around together.None of these negatively affected our stay… just some possible improvements.
The location was amazing! Easy to get everywhere! Everything was clean! Size of beds were great! Hosts were extremely helpful before and during our stay. This was a perfect place for our vacation with friends (2 families with 2 kids)

United KingdomCan't complain
Location - Was first class we where within half a mile to everywhere we wanted to see. Apartment - Was well stocked with tea, coffee, milk and all cleaning supplies. The bedding was clean and comfy and all areas of the apartment presented well. We were a party of 7 and enjoyed this apartment so much we will be booking again for next year to take in more of what Chester has to offer.

United KingdomOn First appearance's it looked good but when we looked closer, Note the following. Only one parking permit. ( the 2nd one turned up within the hour after we pointed it out) Only one key and fob for 2 cars, not good as we went out at different times. In the oven the grill trivet is missing. So making it hard to grill our bacon. Dirty pans in drawer. Wrong plug in sink so water drained away as you were washing up. Not enough Toilet paper for all of us. Dirty balustrade and railings. Dust on top of the pictures 2 finger prints on our bedroom ceiling in blood. En-suite shower door knob missing. Toilet roll holder missing from wall. Other en-suite wash hand basin has cracks in it. Then on arriving back from our day out on Sunday the car park barrier didn't work so as we can only park outside for 30mins we had to leave our 2 cars in the NCP car park at the cost of £60 for parking and taxis.
the inside was better than the outside

United KingdomNothing really! Shower and sink seems to be blocked as they took a bit of time for the water to drain away but it didn't cause any issues.
Location of the property was superb! A short walk into the town centre where you can find restaurants, shops, pubs etc. and see the stunning architecture. The train station was an even shorter walk where we took the train to Liverpool.The Little Gem was really lovely inside and the pictures on the web site do not do it justice. Bedrooms are big, two en-suite and found the whole apartment modern and roomy. Would recommend without hesitation. Also the parking was great as two permits were supplied allowing safe parking!
