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.).

United KingdomIt was a bit noisy on the Tuesday night. We are right next door to a pub which had a DJ night until 2am! Couldn't have our windows open. Second night was fine. Front door didn't close/ open properly as it needs fixing or replacing.
The rooms and amenities. Lovely welcome bits. It had everything we needed for our stay.

United KingdomParking was a 10 minute walk which wasnt made clear. Noise levels from being in the centre were loud. Didn't help that the accommodation was hot so windows had to be open but I am sure they would have made a difference with it's secondary glazing. More portable air con units would have solved this as one bedroom had this
Clean very good facilities. Excellent in fact. Beds are comfortable, kitchen facilities are great, two bathrooms made things really easy. Good system for checking in

United StatesI wish that the doors stayed open without the required door stops because it made the apartment feel closed off. There was loud music at the bar in the back on a Tuesday night until 2 am. I wish I knew that was a possibility in advance.
I loved the location

United KingdomClean apartment , great value for money for a family of 6. We had a wedding to attend so this apartment was only a 5 minute taxi journey to the venue . I had read previous reviews that mentioned noise from nearby bars . The windows helped keep the noise out and our sleep wasn’t affected at all . Outside noise could be heard but not that bad to complain about . Lovely comfy beds and great location to nip to the shops.

United KingdomDirectly opposite a pub/nightclub. Music until 2.00am. I was expecting some noise from a city centre accommodation however it felt as though we were inside the club itself. If I had known this I would have booked their sister accommodation.
Well equipped, milk and cereal to start you off. Clean and tidy. Nice big bedrooms and showers were good.

United KingdomThe apartment is surrounded by pubs, so it is very noisy till around 2.45am, which has an impact on one's sleep. Though the company provided ear plugs but that didn't help me. I didn't read the review about noise before booking.
The apartment is spacious and clean. Thanks to the company for the breakfast complimentary they provided.

NetherlandsThis stay company location is a city centre location situated in between pubs so not suitable for those looking for peace and quiet. The hallwaylights have infrared sensors that are very sensitive meaning they keep turning on and off also at night when everyone is in bed. But if you shut your bedroom door, it is not a real problem.
As always great welcoming atmosphere as per stay company. Everything is clean and in order and the welcome pack is really a treat we look forward to every time.

United KingdomA bit noisy because it is situated beside busy bars, however you are staying in a city centre so have to expect that and the Stay Company do provide ear buds as well as other gifts upon arrival.
As described, clean, secure, central location. Very well equipped, the complimentary gifts such as, cereals, milk, teas / coffee along with soaps / shower gel etc are a very welcome addition. Will definitely recommend

United KingdomLocation was excellent. Raza (the Stay Co. rep) was very helpful on the phone. On this review, the 'what I didn't like box' wont allow me to type anything in! So the only concern was that I did not know about paying a £300 deposit for the two apartments. However, I was refunded it very quickly after vacating the property.

United KingdomWe found the place extremely noisy in the late evening as it is situated between two very popular and lively pubs/ venues. Music ends at 2 am on Fri and Sat throughout the year. Customers and taxis leave loudly until around 2.30 am. Earplugs and eye mask are provided for all guests at the house but it didn’t do the trick for some of us. This is a great house for those who want the night life!
The location for exploring the city was excellent. The place was light and clean. The hospitality tray including cereals, hot drinks, milk and water was a lovely touch. The Stay Company staff were so helpful and kind.
