Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

AustraliaOven door had been damaged and was off. Was told on the day by the agent it was going to be fixed but this didn’t occur. Decided to have a bbq instead as had seen a Webber Q in the listing and also in the compendium. There was none to be found at the property. Coincidentally on day 2 and brand new one arrived and placed outside. A bbq gas bottle then arrived and placed in the carport but was completely empty! Also was not made aware of another resident living under the main property.
The property is in very close proximity to the local shops and restaurants in St Helens. Quiet and mostly catered for property. Enjoyed our stay.

AustraliaVery foul odor from the outside bins. We had to move them away! The guest entrance balcony didnt look tidy. There was a used rag lying on the floor and the doormat was not neat. Master bedroom bed not comfy and felt hard on back. Kids bed was comfy though. Dishwasher wasnt cleaned and still had dirty stuff inside. Floors werent vacuumed well.
Place was so close to town. Had great big spaces for our child to roam and play. Parking was great even with our bike trailers.

United KingdomJust a few minor points but over all we enjoyed our stay. The place was comfortable but dusty in places such as in drawers, under the coffee table and the floor in the bedroom. Plenty of mugs and glasses but not many cereal bowls. As said before the position of the TV is odd but did not affect us as there was only the 2 of us but could be tricky with a larger group as only a 2 seater sofa to sit on to watch the TV.
We liked the location for what we planned to see in the area. Very quiet residential street. The place is very spacious and light due to lots of large windows. As said before the layout in the lounge is a bit odd and would probably look better with more furniture but that did not affect our stay. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was lovely. Kitchen layout was great with a separate room with washing machine and drier. We also liked the outdoor seating areas. Nice path along by the water into St Helens which took about 10-15 mins.

AustraliaThe living area is large but the position of the TV means it is necessary to move some of the furniture around if more than 2 people want to watch. Is it possible for the TV to be moved to a larger wall or for some other lounge chairs or bean bags to be added to the area where the TV is? Would also appreciate some absorbent wipes to be provided in the kitchen to assist with cleaning up given there was only a small amount of paper towel available.
Kitchen and bathroom facilities are excellent, and very clean Comfortable beds Undercover parking is appreciated especially when the days are quite warm Close to St Helens shopping strip

AustraliaUnfortunately no electric blankets, kitchen & bathroom exhaust fans were not working. There was no outside light near entry which made it difficult at night. There were no hooks to hang our jackets, towels. Front sliding door to deck appears fragile and felt unsafe. We couldn’t use the grill either?
Views & well appointed kitchen. Comfortable beds. Heaters were good. Furnishing & decor was lovely & linen was excellent.

AustraliaNo shades on the front windows at all. Windows may be tinted but still makes it feel less private. Also, the TV nook is a little odd. Suggest switching the bookcase so that you can watch on the 6 seater couch rather than the 2 seater.

AustraliaThe dishwasher door did not close, so we could not use it. We raised the issue on the first day but received no response. There was only one small fry pan, so cooked pancakes in a pot, which wasn't ideal. Only a few odd shaped glasses.
Nice open plan area and kitchen. Bath was nice. Bedroom arrangement suited us. Location was good. Good cutlery selection. Privacy locks on the bedroom and bathroom doors was good.
