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 bathroom had one light sticking out and the tub felt a bit unsafe as it wobbled whilst i tried to shower. The shower head could have been higher.
I enjoyed my stay at M&B due to the place being clean and everything was in its place. It was peaceful and comfortable. I was able to enjoy the internet as the speeds was very good.

The host was very friendly and answered any questions I had. The place was clean and tidy

United KingdomThe stairs up to the room were steep, I really had to watch my footing when carrying bags etc. A bit of a pain having to go up and down stairs to the toilet/bathroom regularly. Also sound travelled easily as I could hear phone conversations from other rooms, so not a lot of privacy in that way.
The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. I wasn't expecting milk/cereal etc to be stocked in the kitchen so that was a nice touch. Wifi was good.

United KingdomThe stairs was my problem I have 2 false knees one only done in January. Didn't realise that toilet was down stairs if I had I would not have booked it I also suffer with fybromyalga when I had the stumble on the stairs I knew I had to get home fast as I knew that I was starting with a fybromyalga flare up and I would have been stuck in the bed for days. If you wish to read up on fybromyalga you get why I could only stay one night. After the stumble I had no choice but to use the waste paper bin to have a wee. Sorry I did wash it out

United KingdomI would have liked to be notified of the code to the key locker earlier, because I didn't pick up the message until after I had struggled unsuccessfully to open it in the dark. I didn't use the shared bathroom coz the I could see from a distance that the toilet was overflowing with toilet paper. Available free parking nearby was difficult to find.
Extremely clean room in a quiet backstreet. Prompt, effective assistance from the owner when I phoned her with a problem.

United KingdomNo heating or hot water this time. Awkward layout of bedside cabinet and lamp - moved them where they were more convenient like in the pictures though that left a trailing wire from the lamp. There’s another double socket by the bed, one is blocked, the other works but too far away from the lamp if you move them like I did. You can charge your phone from it though. Wifi works but some sites don’t, must be restricted. Loose tap in the bathroom sink so it moves as you use it. Loose hinge on toilet seat/lid in the bathroom so it opens/closes at an angle instead of straight up and down. Booking.com mentions there are bathrobes, slippers and a hairdryer, been in all of the 4 rooms and have yet to see them, not that I need them. No iron or ironing board, would be useful and plenty space downstairs for them. Also mentions a tea and coffee maker as well as a kettle but there’s just a kettle.
Complimentary biscuit in room 3. Milk in fridge and milk sachets.

United KingdomSqueaky bed in room 4. No complimentary biscuits, there were in room 2. 2 of the windows (In the kitchen and on the landing) can’t be closed. The shower head isn’t very high up the wall so you have to bend down a bit if you’re 6ft or over. Could do with a shower curtain although as you get 2 bath towels, you can put one down so the floor doesn’t get soaked. Still no milk so had to make do with black coffee.
Comfy bed. Wifi. Good bathroom and separate WC. Clean & fresh smelling. Bin in room 4. Wardrobe and floor aren’t noisy. Staff. More white sugars available than last time.

United KingdomNo tv. Lock on the room door was broken and couldn’t get in so was given a room upstairs. Had booked what I worked out was a ground floor room because I was supposed to take a suitcase there but wasn’t gonna try lugging it up the narrow stairs and break my neck. Was suggested I could leave it downstairs but assumed there would be other guests (which there weren’t in the end), so left it where it was. No can opener. No milk. No bin in the room. Creaky floorboards and noisy wardrobe when walking around the room. Heating didn’t come on til the morning so was cold. I could’ve said something but it was just for one night and someone already came after a phone call about the lock. In the email it said check out was between 10 & 11 but (one of?) the owner(s) came after 10 and said it was by 10, after explaining and a phone call she said ok and left.
The price. Not as bad as Blue house. Helpful staff. Wifi. Comfy bed. Clean & fresh smelling.

United KingdomThe bed, which was new and clean, was very squeaky for some reason. The slightest movement made a lot of noise, which woke me up a number of times.
It's good value. It's not too far from the centre. It's backstreets, but it seemed safe enough. It was very clean throughout. The instructions were clear.

United KingdomA shower curtain, or some kind of shower screen would be a suggestion as floor gets soaked whilst showering. When I stayed it was extremely cold weather. Temps not getting above freezing for the week I stayed. This made the property very cold indeed. Maybe look at bleeding radiators, (I bled my radiator in my room) increase the boiler temperatures when cold to help keep the property warm, warmer.
Well presented property. Modern. Clean. Easy access with key code boxes outside for keys. Excellent communication via website.

Lock on the door so you feel super safe, and great kitchen area with bread, milk and cereal (plus a little more); two solid bathroom/toilets which was great when sharing with other guests. communication with the host was amazing and they even showed me a great place to park nearby (Charles Street) that was pretty cheap considering all the surrounding parking is permit only.
