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 StatesThe futon bed was a bit hard for my preference, but I got used to it. A foam mattress pad would make it more comfortable.
The location was excellent- right in the back of Valentine's Park, and a few minutes' walk from Gants Hill roundabout, with Underground and bus transportation and a wide variety of restaurants. In an area where the available hotels have horrible reviews, this was a great place to stay while visiting family in the area. Julia has provided everything you'll need in the room, including kettle with teabags and sugar, microwave, tiny fridge, plates, mugs and cutlery, clothes steamer, and dishwashing supplies. The bathroom was stocked with full-size toiletries and had a towel warmer and nice hot shower with a rainfall head.

United KingdomThe weather outside!! Lol
Everything was "pure dead brilliant" (host, (Julie) location, facilities in the room- infact Julie has gone out of her way to include so much extra ( office table with 2 executive chairs, many variety of teas and coffee, biscuits, sweets, drinks etc..) in the beautifully decorated room, private FREE car park (i was able to leave my campervan for 3 days), latest bathroom equipment, .. just too much to list here! Across the road, a beautiful park for walking, cycling. Tube station 5 mins away... definitely coming back, Julie! Thank you so much 💓 Honestly, there's nothing i can think of, which i didn't like! Everything was perfect and welll above my expectations. I have stayed in more than 500 different hotels, but Julie's place tops!

United KingdomThe sink was very small and it was a mission to avoid getting water on the floor when washing your face or the dishes. It did'nt feel nice to use the toilet sink to fill up the kettle.
It was lovely to meet the host and be welcomed in to the aprtment. Great to have been given all the information required by Julia and supplied in the guestbook. The location was very convenient as we were partly here for work and seeing family and friends and the location was good for both these purposes. The station was also at a convenient distance away. We loved that it was opposite the park and especially as the weather was bright and sunny on one of the days, we enjoyed a refreshing walk to the park. The bed was very comfortable. The table was a good size for eating and working. The bathroom facilities were nice and clean. The shower was starightfoward to use and nice and warm. The toiletries supplied were better than expected. The teas and coffee options were also better than expected. We liked the small fridge, though it was a little too small for some of the items we wanted to use it for. It was a nice bright room with a big window. The room was nice and warm in the evening when it was a bit chilly. Being able to park in the drive was really convenient.

United KingdomIt did get a little too warm in the night but switching the heating off sorted that issue right out. There’s nothing really to dislike about the property, it’s got everything you need.
It’s cosy and cheerful and the perfect location when travelling on the underground or wanting a quick bite from the local shops. The bed is super comfy and cold winter nights are no issue here. Parking on the drive is honestly a god-send as you have the security and you don’t have to worry about any hidden charges or parking fines.

United KingdomThe only thing that was not perfect was the bed which appears to be a pulled out sofabed. Although a comfortable mattress, the metal sofa arms were not ideal for a big chap like me as they got in the way when moving around in the night. The only extra things that could be helpful would be a couple of hooks in the bathroom and a make up mirror in the room in addition to the bathroom mirror. That really is just nitpicking though.
Clean and very well equipped with almost everything you could possibly need for even an extended stay. Perfect location for public transport and local shops and restaurants. Free off-road parking is great as there's very little free parking in the area.

United KingdomJulia has been an amazing host, she is so friendly and kind and very hospitable. The room was amazing and has everything one can need. I stayed for a week and every single day it made me smile when walking into the room. Bed is comfy too, cute steamer and kettle too. The shower is amazing also. There is parking available too. Over all I would highly recommend this place. Definitely more that 10* if you ask me. Should I ever need to stay again or have a staycation, this is the place.
