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 property is fine but the complex which it is based on is tired and run down. we didn’t need to use the complex so the apartment itself was everything we needed. just a shame about its location
the property was lovely and clean and just what we needed for an emergency stay and we are so thankful to the host for helping us with this.

United KingdomWell, when we got there, we were given a room at the front on top of the bar entertainment room Well I was shocked how is it not ready for holiday makers Green mould up the steps floor feels like it is going to collapse the room was not great either they should shut those down for a revamp as its not exceptable or safe to let someone stay in them sorry
The room we were given after the first was alot better, and we were happy with what we got But the whole place does need a revamp it's very sad

United KingdomWas a little tired looking but didn’t bother us. Some of the room window didn’t shut properly. The main thing for me was the holiday park was being used for social housing however the people staying there didn’t cause us any bother.
The Room was very clean, swimming facilities, soft play was a great addition and I over heard a member of staff saying they will be getting a refurb soon so can only get better, general facilities were great for kids.

United KingdomHooks in the bathroom would be nice, free view on the tv, more than one toilet roll as would be nice, ended up buying some and maybe some washing up liquid. Heating not the best so hard to dry towels after swimming with no outdoor area. Would be nice if kids were allowed to jump in the pool.
Staff super friendly and very helpful. Pool was great, food was good. Room sufficient with good facilities.

United KingdomThe housekeeping/cleaning was not great! When I informed the reception staff that all my dishes were dirty and there were several faults with the apartment; although they were apologetic, they offered nothing for the inconvenience. Not saying I was expecting free food or anything but the option of a free later check out might have been nice! The pool changing rooms are tiny and there are only two showers. There was no entertainment which was surprising for half term. Outdoor park was advertised but there wasn’t one.
Good location with ample parking. The soft play is a great size and the kid zone with the PlayStations and Nintendo were a great bonus! The pool is warm! And is a fairly good size. The food and drink is well priced and the bar staff were fantastic.

United KingdomChanging facilities at pool weren't great- very small and no family changing which was hard with two kids. The outside doors and window sills were filthy and would have benefitted from a clean making the apartment feel more welcoming.
Good facilities and great location.

United KingdomVery small cottage smaller than it looks in photo. Asked for initial deposit for stay and even for getting a table tennis bat/ball. No system to checkin if you are late after reception closed. People waited and called to the number provided to get the checkin sorted. Unfortunately we stood in front of reception for more than half an hour that too in rain to get the receptionist on line.

United KingdomI didn't like the fact that the entertainment wasn't included in the cost of the stay. I had to pay £10 cash to take my children into the soft play, which should of been included, as it was free to go to during the daytime. The entertainment was so loud, me and my children ended up going back to the apartment early. Also the staff were all running around, messing about, really not professional at all.
The apartment was a good size, it had everything you would need.

United KingdomBut the beds were hard and uncomfortable unfortunately. And the middle bedroom window wasn't fitted right there's a gap so it was freezing even with heating on. Both nights were windy aswell which made it worse as it was really blowing through. So our little one was cold.
Good location,nice swimming pool. The food was amazing in the restaurant as we ate both nights. Nice apartment clean. Good value for money.
