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 KingdomInstructions on how to get the key from the lock box were incorrect. However, after I messaged the hosts I got a call less than a minute later advising the correct location. The en-suite bathroom door did not lock as the lock was missing. Also, the bed sheets had a somewhat unpleasant odour. I had to use my own bed sheets, which I had carried just in case.
The flat is very spacious and clean. It was cold when I arrived but a huge radiator in the main corridor warmed the place in no time! Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped with a cooker, oven, toaster and other useful appliances. There was even a washing machine which looked brand new. The sitting room, which faces the street, was surprisingly quiet, being so close to cars and buses on the road. I could barely hear them! Flat is within 50 yards of a good number of local shops, restaurants and grocery stores and very convenient.

RomaniaConsidering that a deposit is required for possible damages, the apartment is very worn, with some things partially damaged. Personally, it didn't bother us because we spent very little time inside, we walked around London and ate in the city. The price paid was a good one so I overlooked some things.
Spacious, close to bus stations (1hour by bus to central area), lots of restaurants/coffee places near by, easy check in/check out, tv has Netflix and house have wifi

United KingdomBedding, and the bed at the front was squeezy
We was not happy with the bedding, as looked very worn. I contacted someone and then we had to go out and buy bedding as did not look clean or Iron. No one got back to me concerning the bedding, which was very disappointing. Would not use that accommodation again.

United KingdomCommunications appalling, and frequently contradictory. Signs of the booking going wrong were there early on but the booking did not refunds on cancellation. Demanded £150 security deposit outside of Booking Com policy, so I took advice from Booking.Com and refused to pay it. Surprise, surprise, we got cancelled just hours before check-in, citing “plumbing issues” which the host “hoped would be resolved in time” . My group had travelled in from across the country, as far away as North Wales. Ruined a long planned weekend. AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!
No idea. Never got to see it. Host cancelled on day of arrival whilst we were already travelling in.

United KingdomWe stayed for 2 nights from Christmas eve to boxing day. The Internet did not work consistently for the duration of our stay, remote controls did not work, the Tivo box was not working properly (due to the wifi i presume) therefore watching any kind of Tv was not possible, nor any free wifi use. This was reported but never resolved (basically we were told to turn it off and on again) this was never fully resolved. In the kitchen we discovered a very dangerous broken shelf which almost resulted in pots and pans falling on my head. A video of this was sent to the support who simply replied "thanks for letting us know" thats it, nothing more!. These 2 issues ultimately impacted negatively on our stay. This is a shame as it is a nice property, attention to detail should be made after every stay to ensure the next occupants have a satisfactory stay. This appeared to be lacking on this occasion.

United KingdomNone based on we were fine and the apartment met our needs. The toaster wasn't working. I don't know whether it was faulty or otherwise. I didn't feel the need to contact the host hence I had another options for breakfast. The Parking officer issued us Parking ticket in error which we have challenged it online.
Excellent and accessibility. Rooms were comfy and cosy. Communication with the host and representative were excellent and with courtesy. Very responsive and helpful in the overall when needed.

United KingdomRead the reviews before booking! Alas, on arrival at the property the heating wasn't on and the thermostat was actually broken. There were no instructions in the property and we had to phone to be told what to do. Likewise, the arrival instructions advised of TalkTalk wifi - well that didn't work - after further communication with the owner we were told there it was now Virgin Wifi - the arrival info needs to be updated and perhaps it would be beneficial to have this info somewhere in the property as well, even info advising about bins etc Without a working thermostat you couldn't change the temperature, esp in lounge where radiators point have thermostat.What else? The towels on the bed were damp. There was no dishwasher- despite being in listing. Don't hope to put things away in drawers or the cupboards-crammed with bedding such that you can't unpack - the bedding in the drawers in the back bedroom was damp! The light at bottom of stairs is broken-reported and stair carpet is dangerous- someone noted this in a review in August!!!There was only one loo roll-some were sent over, along with soap etc.The listing said a sofa bed - its actually a blow-up mattress, though there was no response to my questions as to where it was and we only found it on the final morning rammed into a cupboard behind things in upstairs room.There are only 3 dining chairs, we found another two in rooms.There were only four mugs, mismatched and chipped! We asked for more mugs and were advised we would get them the next day - never appeared.There are plates etc, all mismatched - loads of pans!If you want a tee towel- take your own!The washing machine upstairs was full of wet washing! Didn't get my deposit back promptly -had a problem with app, couldn't upload pic, and so it wasn't until I could log in to a computer that it worked and finally got money back.
The property was cheap and relatively accessible by bus and a walk to the tube.

IrelandThe entrance hedge was overgrown , the entrance porch was Dirty & needs painting . Stairs very steep to the apartment . Sitting room was good size . But couches need replacing there not comfortable . Kitchen was tiny , we couldn’t open fridge door fully as it banged up against the wall . No rubbish bags or Dish cloth to try ware & the Crockery needs replacing really . The 2 down stair bedrooms were spacious but again out dated beds & linen . The wardrobe looks like it’s going to fall over it’s at such an angle & it’s beside the bed . There wasn’t even hand soap . Or the basic items in the kitchen like salt . We only had a 2 night visit for a funeral . And to be honest I’m glad it wasn’t any longer . There was only 3 of us & we didn’t buy much food but the fridge was tiny so I don’t know how any more people or longer stay would manage . Also the £150 deposit I didn’t like I’ve stay in many apartments & never had to do that before . I also payed in € which cost me €183 & I was only returned €159 !!!! Supposedly the exchange rate ! When I did contact the owner regarding the bin bags & Hand soap he did say he would drop them off . So contacting wasn’t an issue . It’s a shame as the area was ok . Just a bit of work needed .
Top floor bedroom was about the only thing to be honest it was large & spacious with nice en-suite . And the bed could do with updating it was very lumpy .
