Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Communication with the host prior to arrival was poor. I selected an arrival time through the Booking.com but got no response. Host seemed surprised when I called them to check-in like they were not expecting me. They rushed to me from an event which I was grateful for but I did have to wait 20 mins in my car.
Decent studio appartment very close to Teesside University - great location as I was there to work on campus. Clean room with good wifi, on site parking and basic kitchen facilities/utensils/cleaning products.

The shower only gave very hot water which I was unable to get cooler. The room was a little on the cool side. An extra blanket would have been nice.
The host was friendly and accommodating. The self-contained flat was great with the kitchen facilities and private ensuite. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable.

Place doesn't look great from the outside, There was a strong sewage smell which came from bathroom although bathroom was very clean. This put us off using water other than that everything was OK especially for what we needed
Great for what we needed for a night. Owner was friendly & helpful. In a great area for town centre, stadium, transport links. Carpets floor bathroom kitchen all good & clean

When we arrived we were first put into apartment 2 which seemed on arrival okay, we were not expecting a fantastic place to lay our heads but we were very disappointed with this apartment, there was a musty smell that I thought was caused by putting the fridge on but later found out it was the water in the shower plughole that had gone off. This really put me off as the bed was right next to the bathroom door and when I got to bed I felt the sheets were not adequate, very old. I could only sleep 4 hours and at one time I was even thinking of leaving and going somewhere else but my husband calmed me down.
Femi was great, he was the perfect host. He addressed all our needs and requirements. When he saw how upset I was with apartment 2 he immediately put us into another apartment, This was fresh and welcoming.

Ground floor with window facing the street and the front door of the building looks like it's been kicked in/front door hasn't been patched up well so on that first impression it didn't feel that safe but had no issues and only stayed the one night/got in late any way. Fridge freezer wasn't plugged in when we checked in but we didn't spend much time in the space so it didn't affect us.
At first glance there isn't much to the studio as it's a large space with not much in it but that does leave plenty of room to move about. The bed was really comfortable! Host was friendly and promptly let us into the space. Decent price for the space.

A small TV would have been nice to have. This would have changed my rating from good to very good. Also the shower was either hot or scolding hot, and the taps are very difficult to adjust once they and your hands are wet.
Fantastic location for Middlesbrough. Close to town for a night out and for the Stadium if going for a match. Very useful having kitchen facilities, giving you the option to cook yourself if you want to.
