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 KingdomNot a lot to fault really, found the keys fiddly but we worked it out, maybe few more loo rolls and coffee would've been nice and maybe a laminate map or some info of the immediate local area with what's where, just so you know what's literally on doorstep without having to venture too far.
Lovely Fernanda, so helpful with my questions about our stay, information about how to get to/from apartment, contact on morning and to call her when close, met us at the apartment and showed us around - was really nice and on call if necessary. The apartment was a lovely space, nice and quiet area, liked the balcony to sit out on and good facilities and plenty of tea, sugar and some milk for that much needed cuppa after travelling. There's a Sainsburys near by and very close to London bridge so good location, about 20mins walk to london bridge underground station. Didn't have time to explore Bermondsey area but i would like to come back and have a stroll around. We spotted the circle from the shard, it was a welcome sight to spot the blue tiling and oscar the horse, when we were finding our way!

United KingdomI have no complaints.
The location of this apartment was excellent, minutes away from tower bridge and all the areas bars and restaurants but amazingly quiet with no street noise or traffic. The host (who was lovely) was waiting for me on arrival and checking in was simple. I will definitely use this place on my next trip to London.

United KingdomNo instructions for the oven. The tumble dryer didn't appear to work. No kitchen towel, dish cloth or tea towel. The bathroom door jammed against a raised wooden dividing strip that was a trip hazard. A lack of shops in the immediate neighbourhood. No oven gloves. The bath could have done with a grab handle. There was liquid to clean with, but nothing to apply it with. Lamp holders in the kitchen were missing bulbs and likewise the bathroom which would have been of benefit as neither room had a natural source of light. Minor things that can cause irritation but nothing serious or major.
It was as expected. Enjoyable. The location was chosen to meet our needs, though it could have been closer to the river and the bridge the apartments were named after. The staff were excellent, helpful and knowledgeable. Pleasant. Quiet. The gardens were an additional attraction.

Its location was great for seeing various Landmarks eg Tower Bridge, Tower of London. Underground station was close by too so a trip in to the city was done. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Great apartment, well equipped, easy to get access to. Has all cooking equipment, dishwasher & microwave. Tea and sugar provided, great to have ice too.
