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...).

United StatesIt's right next to a pub, so it gets loud on the weekend. A fan in the summer would be handy.
It was a super location within walking distance of the cathedral, docks, and food options. The apartment was nice, comfortable, and a nice sized bathroom.

SpainOne minor thing. Instructions to get in were very complicated and it would be a good idea to have a jay cloth for wiping down the surfaces as requested when leaving.
We had issues getting into the flat as we were given the wrong keys but once in the flat was fantastic really tastefully decorated and very quiet and comfortable

United KingdomUnfortunately I was unable to score it a 10 as located on a very busy road we hardly slept at all there were several drunk people who were very noisy until the early hours. The check in us 4pm which is late, an early check in and out is available but incurs an extra charge. Paying upon booking without a refund or possibility to move the date was something we wouldn't do again and the ID required was a bit excessive and off putting its a shame to be so negative as the apartment is lovely if non of the above is an issue then I would reccomend
Superb apartment, pristine clean high quality furnishings everything catered for in terms of toiletries, cleaning products, iron etc. Secure parking and self check information. View of Quay and top of cathedral Close to shops, restaurants bars and cathedral. Comfortable bed and pillows fresh towels lovely shower room.

AustraliaToilet paper was found behind bedside table. Mattresses weren’t comfortable. Narrow stairs to get to apartment with suitcases, but once carried up it was fine.
Location was amazing, right in middle of the vibrant docks. Lovely decorated apartment. Despite location, no noise was heard from street. Very well written instructions on how to locate keys and get into apartment. Great to have private parking.

United KingdomShame some of the other neighbours didn’t stick to the quiet hours. Lots of doors slamming ( front doors were just left to slam shut at all hours no consideration to others) shouting and had our doorbell rung in the early hours. Also the electric gate to the car park is under the properly and it made a metal clanging noise when it shut which was disturbing and woke me up multiple times. Shame as would put me off booking again.
Lovely decorated property as described and shown in the photos. Great location. Easy access to property. Parking was secure and a huge benefit.

United KingdomAlso, it's important to only use the mobile phone number given on booking.com which is for the Contact at the agency. Some of the documentation I received gave another number for one of the agency's offices which I used, only to find they are unable to help, provide any information or pass on messages. After booking, I had a list of five questions for the Contact at the agency. Although it took a few days to receive a reply, the answers were all clearly and thoroughly addressed in a friendly and helpful way. Although the contract states, "Leave the apartment in the state in which you found it", and another reviewer had said, "Cleaning products are provided", the company assuredly has its own cleaners and clients are not expected to clean before they depart! Inevitably, we moved furniture around to allow room for our suitcases etc. in the bedrooms, and I brought a dining chair into the 2nd bedroom which had no furniture but a bedside locker. Admittedly there was no room in it for a table, and there was limited floor space; though a built-in wardrobe allowed for storage of some clothes. The sitting room has a kitchen area at the rear. The view from the former, also from the 1st bedroom, is over a big carpark, with the canal/dock over to the left. It should be noted that bedroom 2 has a wall window positioned above head-height - you get a good view of the sky, and there is a pub with yard on that side with strains of music and hubbub of voices in the evenings, especially Fri and Sat. We noted that two ceiling light bulbs in the apartment hall did not work. The integrated dishwasher was a handy addition, but pulled its housing loose every time it was opened. Something had not been fitted correctly, and this rather spoilt the general modern and efficient feel of the place. The bathroom was especially attractively designed. The apartment was a good size for two guests.
Excellent location by the docks with a range of restaurants within a few minutes' walk. Modern apartment, looked the part, good amount of kitchenware, though we did not cook there. Allocated parking space in the gated car park under the building (yet at street level). Relatively easy to come and go during the stay, once we got the hang of the process and the automatic car park gate. Also good access on foot to the city centre and Cathedral. The apartment is on the second floor – a fair amount of stairs to carry heavy luggage up and down, and no lift. The clinical formality of the contract process outside of booking.com felt a bit like applying for a position in the City, along with pages of terms and conditions and instructions! This is because the apartment is managed by a local agency, and at one point I was almost needing to set up an account and password within their own website! What was really surprising was the requirement to upload a photograph. There was no face-to-face contact with anyone at the agency and entry to the premises was through a complex set of instructions involving a code at a gate, then another code for a keysafe by the parking space. As such, a photograph was not needed for live identification at any point.
