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, 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, 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomBeautiful apartment, just as described, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and lovely views from the windows. Excellent location near the waterfront in the beautiful old town, with historic buildings, shops and a wide range of eateries just a short distance away, in all directions. The owner was very pleasant and helpful. We loved our first visit to Kings Lynn and our stay at The Penthouse enhanced the whole visit. A two night stay was a lovely taster, but we need to return to explore further!

United KingdomPhotos showed balcony area and facilities listed washing machine. These were all located on other levels, separate from the accomodation. Details in the apartment suggested these were available on request so sure it would have been easily remedied but personally I am just uncomfortable asking! Details and photos just suggested available for penthouse alone.
Excellent location and lovely accomodation

United KingdomThere is nothing that I didn't like. Access to the property is via two flights of stairs (not a problem for me, but might be a consideration for others), and it is important to remember to lock the street-access door. As I didn't drive, I can't comment on parking (but note that there is parking nearby.
I visit King's Lynn about 3-4 times a year (I run an archaeological project there), and have stayed in numerous hotels, guest houses, and self-catering accommodation. The Penthouse is the simply the best place I have stayed in. It is comfortable, is in an excellent location, and is very good value for money. (note The Penthouse is pictured just to the right of the Custom House in the night-time photograph), whilst the day-time photograph is the view from the property).

United KingdomThe kitchen sink and fridge salad drawer had bits of food in, 2 cups had tea/coffee stains on the outside, shelf in bathroom had dirty marks on it, we stripped the bed on leaving and the duvet had stains on it.
Good location on the edge of the town centre, easy walking to local amenities, plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs to choose from, free parking space allocated in car park just around the corner from accommodation, the balcony was great for sitting out in the evening, there was a music festival on opposite so we had a great view, well equipped apartment if you fancy cooking but plenty of places to eat out for breakfast etc. would recommend to family and friends.

United KingdomElevation comes at a price, there are two steepish stair cases leading up to the flat. Not a problem for most but it would be too much for people with any mobility problems. The shower head fixing needs some attention.
The property is exceptionally positioned; elevated, in the centre of the old historic town and with its own parking spot nearby. A very short walk takes you into the main shopping area and you are very adjacent to the quayside. The view from the dining table is wonderful, the open plan layout is very spacious and comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike.
The apartment was ideally located on the edge of the town centre with a short walk to all the shops. Great views of the river and the old custom house. The town centre was clean and had a good variety of shops. It was a good base to explore the coast at Heacham and Hunstanton.
