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.).

Mrs
United KingdomThe parking space was much appreciated but very tight due to another larger vehicle being parked.Fortunately we’d only brought a small-ish car. There are a lot of steps up to the apartment, so difficult with mobility issues. One en-suite sink didn’t have hot water on our visit.
Separate bedrooms, 2 with en-suite toilet & sink. Comfortable lounge. Good cooking facilities. Very clean. Excellent location. A very useful guide provided by our host.

United KingdomSome of the fixtures are tired, and while functional, they don't work 100%. One of the rooms had a skylight in the roof which gave great light in the day but there was no obvious way to shut out the light and as a result I woke up very early each day.
The place had separate toilets and sinks for each room as well as a main bathroom which was really handy. There were 2 double rooms which was what we really wanted.

United KingdomI wouldn't say didn't like it, ofcourse it's a penthouse so expect stairs to walk up, can be tiring on a tiring day of cycle all day for us haha but all good not complaining. Heating could be slightly better, I understand the heating is turned certain time of days and it's a big house so takes time to reach all the way up, electric small heater was provided, would be great to have 1 or 2 more as I didn't want to disturb the landlord alot about turning heating on or something but still good stay the heating didn't put me off from staying for 4 nights, still recommend and who knows might come back in summer and choose this accomodation again
House was good location close to the ferry transport so very convenient for us to easily reach house with bike and luggage, easy private access was great, it was 3 people and we love privacy so ofcourse was good on that sense, close to bus stops, close to town side of grocery shops, lots of pubs and bars lots of facilities. We could park our bikes indoors which was great benefits as my bike was very expensive and weather conditions were also rainy so a good plus for that, toilets in every room is always a bonus! Shower was amazing with hot water facilities and water pressure, great amount of utensils, washing machine provided, dishwasher also for convenience so it was great stay, we all really really enjoyed the stay overall honestly we could even cook proper good meals on a small hob Overall I would definitely recommend if your looking for a good accomodation with easy access to everything and close to ferry ports

United KingdomNothing in particular. People with mobility problems or disabled people might not be able to access as you have to climb few flights of stairs. However I did notice that there was a lift opening directly into the flat which if operational might need special access and permission from hosts. If group of friends sharing but coming in multiple cars, then parking could be an issue.
The lovely home was only a 15 min ride inclusive of 10 min waiting time across the floating bridge from the Red Funnel ferry docking site. It is a 5 min walk to the high street and local shops. The 3 bed top floor flat was newly refurbished as stated. All the 3 bedrooms were very modern, spacious, had comfortable cozy bed/mattress with an ensuite WC. One of the bedrooms had two separate single beds ideal for the kids. There was a spacious common bathroom with hot shower, clean fresh towels, toiletries. The open plan kitchen with dining table, TV, comfy sofa and chairs was fully equipped with clean utensils and kitchenware, refrigerator, combined washing machine with dryer, electric stove, toaster etc. All in all a lovely holiday home. It was a pleasant surprise as our host was very thoughtful in keeping a flower vase with fresh cut flowers in both the lounge and master bedroom, welcome lagers, bottle of wine apart from bread, milk, butter, cereals, tea, coffee, sugar, salt, cooking oil. It felt like a home away from home.

NetherlandsThat we could not control the heating. If the owners turn the heating of it got really cold. We had to keep sending messages to get it put back on. The fire alarm that went off, it was a test but we were not warned beforehand. The kitchen is very small and the windows in the living room don't open.
The apartment was really clean, the beds were amazing, the bed clothes and towels were the best quality. Lots of space for 2 people. Great location with parking.
