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.).

The apartment was generous size, very clean, included towels, coffee etc. It was easy to find from the tube station and perfectly located for our trip. There were lots of shops and cafes on the doorstep.

SwitzerlandMy bed was a bit lumpy and noisy. I am sure I have said before a coat hook or stand near the front door would be useful, given how much rain London has.
It was my fourth stay at the building, always a different apartment. The best part of each stay is the staff on the 24 hour front desk. The apartments are always clean and quiet.

AustraliaThe only real criticism I have is the uncomfortable lounges which can only seat 2 people in a 2 bedroom apartment. There were four of us staying there so that made sitting down and relaxing a bit difficult. Other than that, we loved our stay and have just re-booked to stay there again at the end of our European trip.
Great location, it was so easy to jump on the tube at Aldgate East and go just about anywhere we wanted. It is walking distance to Brick Lane and all of it's wonderful restaurants, and Whitechapel itself is a real revelation. There are also plenty of other eating options within a short walking distance.

AustraliaThe lounges are all sofa beds and are not very comfortable. Not always being able to leave bags until check in is also not great.
The location was amazing. The apartments were great, had everything we needed. We loved our stay here and would recommend Marlin Apartments to friends.

United KingdomThe only thing to note is lack of aircon, though large fans are provided. So this could be problematic in very hot weather, though what I do like is that you can open the windows, whereas nearby more pricey hotels I’ve stayed in have aircon with the downside that you can’t open any windows. Once I stayed in an apartment here where the water pressure was terrible, but the helpful staff member moved me to a better one immediately. There is no coffee machine provided but they do provide a cafetière and some nice coffee for free.
Really spacious apartment, I have stayed with Marlin Aldgate a number of times now for work trips to London and I am always pleased. They are not super modern but they are perfectly adequate and have well kept bathroom and kitchen with a handy dishwasher included and most apartments have a bath as well as a shower which is an option I like. I always find the apartment to be clean. Some of the higher apartments have fantastic views from large windows and once I got an upgrade to one with a really nice balcony. I love that you can open the windows and get fresh air. The location is great, near to the underground (especially Aldgate East station, with Aldgate very near to that too), an organic supermarket, pubs, cafes etc. It has a decent reception area and very friendly staff.

United KingdomThere was not enough comfortable seating for the 5 of us. There was no water from 8pm til 2am the first night we stayed and were not told of this planned outage by the staff. There was an A4 note in the lift but that stated it would be out from 10pm til 12am. Luckily we spotted the note so could kind of plan ahead and popped to the shop for some bottled water so we could brush our teeth and make a cup of tea etc. Apartments provided us with a bottle of water but that wasn’t until the next day when the water was back on??? Clean and tidy apartment and plenty of room in the living room but only 1 2 seater sofa. Supposed to sleep 6? There is a dining table and 4 chairs but who can relax whilst sitting on a dining chair?
Location for what we wanted to do was great.

United KingdomOnly thing I can pick up on is maybe more milk sachets ( I like a tea before bed after a night of drinking and when we get up but wasn’t quite enough for 4 people) Also the only sofa is quite a good size maybe for 3, but as it’s a sofa bed it’s a bit gappy at the back and I can imagine with kids or a bigger family there wouldn’t be enough seating . Didn’t matter for us though
Great facilities , amenities and comfy beds, very spacious and clean , nice big windows and balcony . It was great location dir exploring nearby Spitalfields and Shoreditch and some lovely rooftop bars and good vibes within walking distance, a nisa convenience shop is next door and Burger King just over the road. We had a great stay !
