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 KingdomVery minor things would make this perfect, we were left just one dishwasher tablet for 3 days; a few more would save us a trip to the shops. Some information on emptying bins (we didn't) and a hoover/dustpan would be great especially with kids and dogs. I'd also invest in bath sheets. Like I say all very minor. I wouldn't recommend to less mobile holidaymakers as there are lots of stairs inside and to the beach - although you could drive down
The location is perfect, amazing views with a wonderful seating area to look out from the penthouse. Surrounded by bars and restaurants, beach to the front and park to the rear. Also loads of shops within walking distance and no problem finding dog friendly places to eat and drink. The beach is zoned into dog friendly and bathing. Beds and the sofa are comfortable and the rooms are well appointed and fresh. The roof shape makes the penthouse interesting and quirky. Our own parking space was really helpful and the door codes and key lockers make checking in and out easy, very welcome at the end of a long drive!

United KingdomThere really is nothing I can think of that I didn't like . If I had to name something it would be to make sure you take washing up liquid
The apartment was spotlessly clean, as if we was the first to step through the door. Had every thing you could need for your stay. Owners very quickly respond to messages if you have any queries. Great view from the livingroom window . I will most definitely be returning

AustraliaThere wasn’t sufficient hot water available to fill the bath and I’ll confess I struggled with the British mixer taps in the shower so I only ever had lukewarm water there. The double bed was two singles pushed together and it felt as though I might disappear down the crack in between. There was a strong smell of disinfectant in the fridge so I chose not to store food in it, as I suspect it would soak up the aroma. But then I have an overly sensitive nose.
I loved the location and that the lighthouse flat looks to both sunrise and sunset. The proprietors were very kind and carried my luggage up the many stairs for me. I particularly enjoyed the desk by the window , looking out into the world as I was writing.

United KingdomEverything was fabulous
What a gem of a place ✨️ Location Location Location with views that are out of this world. We stayed in Adelaide, a 2 bedroom, modern apartment with everything you need for the perfect stay. We didn't feel the need to go out every night as the apartment was super cosy. Free parking was a great addition, too. Highly recommended, and we can't wait to return Debbie & Mark

United KingdomWould have liked a king-size bed there is room . A full size mirror, so I didn't have to bend down to see the mirror. More than 2 spoons. A shower with the door so close to the walk my husband couldn't get in and I rubbed the wall in and out. My son, who is average size, was also surprised where the door was. Every door slammed shut. I get fire doors, but get quiet door closers. We come to Sunderland a lot and we have stayed in a lot of the hotels. I was hoping we had found our returning place. I will continue looking.
Sparkling clean and spacious beautiful views. Full size kitchen Wasted on us we came to see our son so ate out.So many plug sockets must be about 20 in the entire apartment. Quiet until other guests arrived, then you can hear all the inner doors closing.

United KingdomIt’s not a bad thing but maybe for the brighter months some curtains as the blinds still let in a lot of light.
Perfect spot. The instructions were clear on how to get in. The rooms were spotless and everything was lovely. The view was amazing.

United KingdomA information pack for the tv WiFi code and facilities in the property. The heavy fire doors due to having a young child I was frightened she would catch her fingers and the noise from them for other apartments. Glass table with no place mats or glass cleaner with the young one there was hand prints everywhere. Otherwise it’s perfect and fabulous if you don’t want to go out and just look at the sea
The sea view and proximity to facilities in roker / Sunderland . The manger was attentive with messaging . The space in the property and the style of decor giving a clean feeling. We had Sunday dinner at grannie Annie’s and it was great value for money

United KingdomThe property itself was perfect, only thing I would say is it needs some oven gloves and tea towels as we only had the one hand towel in the kitchen.
The property was absolutely stunning. From walking in through the front door and seeing the original floor tiles of the building to the beautifully decorated rooms. It was spacious in all rooms and exceptionally clean.

United KingdomThe self closing interior doors were annoying, as was the light in the hallway which was on a sensor. No way anyone can get up to use the loo in the night without setting off a very bright light and thereby waking up whoever else is there. There is a lovely full size dishwasher, but not enough cutlery, so you have to wash up by hand rather than run the machine two thirds empty.
Excellent location and wonderful views. The apartment was very clean, fresh and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen.
