Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like 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...).

FranceThere were signs of wear and tear - stove top was badly marked and the bathtub had been repaired in multiple places - the sofa also had a stain on the arm.
The apartment is in a great location with good connections to other parts of London. It's also possible to walk to the Millenium bridge and Tate Modern. It's great to have a kitchen and living area to hang out in and prepare food. We have young kids so going to a restaurant in the evening isn't always easy. Washing up liquid, sponges, tea towels and a few dishwasher tablets are provided. The towels and toilettries provided are like you'd find in a hotel (L'Occitane toilettries). Overall, I find the Marlin apartments great value for money and they make staying in central London with kids very easy.

AustraliaOnly issue I would say was that the mattress on the sofa bed is really due replacing and the springs are felt when sitting or lying on it and very uncomfortable. Not an issue if you’re only 2 staying, but for a family of 4 it wasn’t very comfortable. Other than that the stay was good and no complaints at all.
Everything was quite comfortable. Good access to public transport and the tourist spots. All walking distance.

United KingdomThere are only 2 lifts for over 20 floors, so you sometimes have to wait a few minutes to use one.
This was our second stay at the apartments. The location is convenient but quiet - a short walk to Borough Tube Station and not far to walk to the Shard and to Borough Market. We were able to sleep with the window open without being disturbed at all. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. There is a small Tesco on site which is very handy.

SingaporeMicrowave was initially working well but it broke down the last few days of our stay but unable to get the repairmen as it was during the Christmas period. It was a small issue because overall we had a wonderful stay.
24hr desk security. Apartment was spacious and very clean. Bed was comfortable and slept well. Cosy and well lit. Walking distance (5mins) to borough tube station and borough market which is famous for its food. There is also a tesco just below the apartment which is very convenient for getting groceries/snacks. Recommended for families or group of friends travelling. Would definitely come back here! Front desk staff were friendly too!

NetherlandsThe sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable. My husband and I barely slept for the 3 nights we stayed. There was no kettle. We asked 3 times and each time we were told someone would bring it up but no one did.
Location was excellent. Tesco Express next door. The manager was helpful and secured a balcony for us. We had a nice view of the city also.

BelgiumThe corridors are plain dirty. Vacuuming once a day would not hurt. Some facilities in the apartment were quite outdated. Some of the towels and the bed covers were dirty.
The hotel has a lot of potential. It's too bad that as it comes to cleanliness, there is still some work to be done. The location is great. Good connections to the city center. 10 minutes walk from London Bridge. The room was quite generous. A lot of space, many facilities. The reception staff was also super friendly.

United KingdomI actually enjoyd everything. Okay maybe the rain.
I was staying in a room of the fifth floor with my twin brother. Oh boy everything was perfect. For a week we felt like kings of London. It was like a lux hotel room/apartment. Especially loved that we had our own kitchen with all essentials for cooking. The fact that the place had a tesco and a pure gym right around the corner made it sooo perfect. What else could one need.
