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 KingdomIt was an unbearable, unusually hot weekend (over 30°) The fan in the room was pretty dusty but it was definitely better than nothing. We had to sleep with the window open, which meant a very early wake up with the trains so close, but the hosts had kindly provided earplugs, which was a great touch.
The studio was really clean & the hosts had thought of everything to make it a really comfortable stay. Great local pubs and coffee shops and a convenient location for Crystal Palace Park & Sydenham train station. The communication throughout the booking & stay was exceptional. Thank you Mine!

The property was clean. The host was easy to get through however we were left without hot water our entire stay so we had to shower using cold water. Aside from the bathing situation everything else was perfect.

ItalyThe apartment is best for 2-3 people or 2 adults and 2 kids. We were 4: there weren't enough chairs and the sofa bed is small so 2 adults can fit in but are a bit crammed. Also, it's near a train station (which is a plus) but of course you'll hear train passing by even later in the evening
Very nice apartment for a short stay. Locations is very good and it's a 1 minute walk to the train station. The bed was very comfortable, the room spacious and clean and it had everything we needed. Communication with the host was very good, they replied quite quickly to all my questions.

United KingdomMy only issues were we couldn’t open the bin in the kitchen as the lid was jammed and the skylight was directly above the sofa bed and was quite bright to sleep under, but once I found the sleep masks you provided it was fine!
We felt safe and secure and the rooms were very clean and comfortable.

United KingdomThe entry system is all key coded and you need to be able to see what you are doing Unfortunately the lights in the hallway to apartment 5 were not working.Also the keypads take a bit of getting used to as when touched lightly they don't always illuminate, however when touched a bit more firmly you can end up pressing the wrong number,or maybe it was just me. The TV is cheap,yes it's a smart TV,but it looks cheap,and literally looks like it was Installed in minute's,ok yes its a small thing but stands out in a beautifully finished and well appointed apartment and I'm speaking as an Airbnb Super host with straight 5 numbers. The instruction manuals are the manufacturers manuals so a "For Dummys" guide written by somebody who has worked and I'm specifically talking about the oven here hasn't been provided.
Apartment 5 Location can't be beaten, literally opposite Sydenham Railway Station,and many many local shops. The apartment is beautiful with everything you'd need for a long stay.

United KingdomThere is train noise, but the window was good to silence it when closed. The trains stop at night and we had a really good sleep. There is only one window, they provide a fan and there is a big sky light in the kitchen which kept the flat well lit all day without using light.
The room is spacious for me and my son. We enjoyed our stay, the bathroom and kitchen appliances worked well and felt good to use. The hosts were very nice, communicative and accommodating when I needed to extend my stay. The place is well secured with codes to enter. The area has a good variety of shops and restaurants.
