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 KingdomOn the website it was very misleading. We were to think that we had our own microwave and fridge in our room. We did not know that it was a shared accommodation. It states in our room we would have had a kitchenette. We were very disappointed with this.

United KingdomThe decor is a bit dated and the toilet/shower unit clad in plywood looked a bit funny but was entirely functional.
The pace is close to the Swansea University, had the right facilities and was reasonably quiet for a good night's rest.

No soap/fresh towels, milk for a cup of tea. Room was very spacious and well furnished Please provide receptionist, courteous services and you will be ideal place as it is quiet.

United KingdomThe whole experience was awful. The pictures of the accommodation were nothing like what is shown on booking.com. I have my own photos as proof that it was not fit for purpose and will happily put them on here as evidence. Getting into the property was difficult as had not been sent any emails giving the door or key codes for entry and do not get me started on the state of our room. Room not cleaned at all, left over food on table, bin overflowing with rubbish, bed not made or changed for clean bedding, dirty towels left around the room and not even going to mention the bathroom !!!! We were eventually given another room with what was supposed to be an ensuite bathroom but it was not even in the same room. It was separate on the landing outside the room, not even finished with plywood walls and just floorboards. Has not even been decorated. Broken lampshade on landing and sockets not even fitted to wall properly so not a good impression and will not be booking again. If you need any further proof then please contact me via email and I will send the information over to you.
Location was suitable as it was within walking distance of the place we were there to visit.

United KingdomThe building was very old and not looked after at all. As soon as I entered the room,the smell of damp was horrendous. Lights in the toilet weren't working. Bedsheets had hair on them and a very funny odour,plus bleach stains all over it. We tried to contact the host by phone, but no one answered the phone. Send a message through Booking,asking if they could at least change the Bedsheets but never got an answer back. Unfortunately, we had to pay extra and book ourselves another accommodation.Very disappointed

United KingdomThe room was not cleaned properly and was very cold, with the heating only operating at specific times. The house was poorly maintained. The shower had issues, fluctuating between extremely hot and cold, and it couldn't maintain consistent water pressure. The bathroom floor felt unstable, the bed had stains, and the paint on the walls was poorly applied.
The house is large, and the room is spacious. It was nice to have a parking space available for us. The kitchen is equipped with most of the essentials if you want to cook. The property has great potential, but it’s a shame that it is not maintained well.

United KingdomUnfortunately as soon as we entered the hallway there was a strong smell of damp and the same in our room. Although the room was clean the single bed had no duvet cover. We did not use the shower as it was too small. Everything in the room is outdated so needs a refresh I.e complete makeover, lick of paint, new rugs, headboard needs to be fixed to the double bed. Sorry this is constructive feedback for improvements even though the room is cheap but not suitable for kids.

NetherlandsWhen we arrived, there was no hand soap in the bathroom. A plate, kettle and mugs were only brought to our room after we checked in, even though they knew our check-in timeframe before we arrived. I also noticed that the bathroom sink didn't look very clean, and when we got into bed on the first night I noticed some dirty spots on the sheets, but it was too late to have them changed by that point. All of these things lead me to believe that the room was not properly cleaned before we arrived, and it is clear that since management does not oversee the cleaning staff, they are not doing a proper job. The state of the building is also rather unfortunate. There is clutter and rubbish bags lying around everywhere - in the corridors and in the kitchen, and the place looks like a dump because of it. The kitchen downstairs is hidden away and unlabelled, so very difficult to find - and it's not the kind of place where you want to be opening random doors to find it, because you're actually worried about what will be on the other side of the door. The kitchen floor is filthy and sticky, so I didn't even feel comfortable to cook there. We also didn't get the room we booked - we got room 5 instead of 2. The keys aren't even on a proper keyring, so they keep falling off the flimsy piece of wire that doesn't close. The pillows on the bed were so flat that they didn't even feel like they were there. Very uncomfortable and we left a day early because of it.
Unfortunately, nothing positive to say.
