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 KingdomOne of the beds in the second bedroom is not ideal and is limited by the room configuration. If you are only using the principal bedroom, this will be of no concern.
Nice clean apartment with great views, although expect some noise during working hours from the nearby boat yards.

United KingdomCould do with a refresh, holes in bathroom where shelf had been, holes in walls behind doors caused by door handles, lots of the slats in the blinds missing
Great view, reasonably priced. A little industrial and about 25 min walk into town, but both acceptable as we were aware. Nice pots, pans, etc and new carpets. Comfortable beds.

United KingdomThe facilities in the property wheee dated and could have been renewed. Kitchen utensils etc the spatula had no handle and was difficult to use and the towels were very old but usable all the same. I wasn’t given the check in details or the Wi-Fi code because she couldn’t confirm we had paid so our early check in turned into a late one because we weren’t told the key code and messages were sporadic.
The property itself was nice and had great views over the river

United KingdomThe property is quite tired overall, and would benefit from brightening up, though we were expecting that from other reviews we had read. The beds are both fairly uncomfortable though do the job, and the curtains were coming unhooked or were too short. The TV remote wasn’t working well when we were there but could just need new batteries. There is only a shower in the en-suite which was fine for us but if you came to stay with friends it would mean going through someones bedroom to wash. Most of the taps are quite loose, as are the dining room chairs. The front door is very difficult to lock/unlock. A spruce up/modernisation would massively improve this apartment, but any complaints are only from a visual perspective really.
We stayed in the ground floor garden apartment for a holiday with our dog. The apartment was spacious with 2 double bedrooms, an en-suite, a kitchen, a lounge/diner and a toilet. The garden was a good size for our dog to do his business - there was a slight view of the harbour which our dog enjoyed looking out onto. The apartment is in a good location, walking distance to the Appledore harbour, however was noisy in the front bedroom early morning, likely due to local fishermen/industrial work as it is located very close to industrial buildings. The property was easy to access with a key-safe.

Great having two balconies and a separate living room, with very comfy sofas, from the kitchen. Location next to the estuary was great, maybe a little too far away from the town for some people but we didn't mind the walk. People working in the fish market were friendly too.

United KingdomAs someone else mentioned, the lights in the living room are very bright so a dimmer switch might be useful. Not really much to complain about !
I stayed in slipway , which is the ground floor apartment. Although it doesn't have the far reaching views , it does have a very pleasant little garden which does have a view across the estuary. The apartment is very clean and cosy. The kitchen is perfectly adequate. A very nice place to stay and the 10 minute wander into town is very pleasant. I will come back.
