Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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...).

United KingdomEverything was great. Being picky it would be good to have bedside cabinets and bedside lamps. Cushioned high back seating at the dining table would have been good too - however none of this detracted from our stay.
Lovely clean and spacious apartment. Great location, plenty of green spaces for our dog, very central to shops, seafront and walkable to Portsmouth too. Nice selection of bathroom products, good selection of teas & coffees etc. and fresh milk and fresh flowers on arrival. Hosts were friendly, polite and efficient at responding.

United KingdomThe blinds in the lounge need attention as the were difficult to adjust. Also, bedroom lighting is poor - the only working light is obscured by the wardrobe. The remaining wall light doesn't work, leaving only a table lamp on one side of the bed. Also, dressing table chair is too low (or mirror too high!) to be able to see for hair, makeup etc.
Beautifully decorated, with high ceilings, comfortable furnishings. Proper coffee, tea and milk provided. Bathroom also had a choice of good quality toiletries.

CanadaNot accessible on any level. Also, we are tourists from another country and took a while to figure out the taps in the shower.
The apartment is amazing. Spacious with 2 good-sized bedrooms. I made the booking, and my friend who is traveling with me said, "You have set the bar high by booking this place." We were able to cook a family dinner for 5 in the kitchen. There are also lots of restaurants handy.

United KingdomCant think of anything in particular. Way in is via a steepish/narrow outside staircase, wouldnt be suitable for mobility challenged people.
Nice apartment with big rooms, well equipped kitchen and good bathroom. Location was very good, walkable from train station, 10 minutes southsea beach and not much further to the harbour. Lots of ameneties nearby in southsea, good pubs and eateries on the doorstep. Good instructions for self-checkin. Owners put milk in the fridge and various other useful kitchen supplies are provided, a nice touch.
