Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThere were no cleaning products or dish cloths in the kitchen. One pan had a wobbly handle. Bathroom did not have shower gel or bath mat. TV remote needs new battery. Toilet roll holders broken in both bathrooms. At the price we were charged this was poor value. Place needs upgrading.
Beds were comfortable. Rooms were clean.

United KingdomFlat was located over a noisy laundrette with old scrap washers located near entrance to the flat. The beds had seen better days, squeaky and springs could be felt. Definitely not worthy of its 4 star rating.
Good garden and central location to town. Spacious flat.

United KingdomWhilst the main things like bedding was clean the apartment itself was quite grubby and poorly decorated, although for the price we couldn't complain, but just a better clean would have made it 100 x better. The apartment above had a dog that kept doing zoomies at 5am which woke us up as it's an old building so you hear everything, but that can't be helped!
The location is great. The size of the apartment and having a garden was really good.

United KingdomThe plumbing was not very good. The bath would fill with the shower water and would not drain away. Staff tile but could not fix before the end of your stay so we could not use the shower. The shower/bath was also leaking as was the toilet which has caused the floor to be damaged giving the bathroom as damp smell.
Very central location and the staff were very helpful

United KingdomThe sofa was broken. This was missing a leg on the back left when viewing from the front. These were also very old-fashioned and uncomfortable. There were no bowls in the apartment, and what crockery was there wasn't clean. The entire appearance of the apartment was very unkempt, with the flooring in the kitchen peeling, the ceiling in the shower/bath peeling, and some small mould patches in the bathroom. The building itself was very difficult to find. A member of staff had to guide us to the apartment.
The bed was mostly comfortable, and you got the entire apartment. The apartment was spacious but old-fashioned.

United KingdomA little shabby inside. Kitchen chairs well past their use by date as faux leather covering coming off and gave a poor first impression. Could do with a proper clean skirting boards and doors dirty. Not a full set of cutlery or crockery ie only 3 bowls, 2 mugs no bread knife, 1 teaspoon etc
Good location, nice to have outdoor space. Good kitchen, full size cooker and fridge freezer. Central heating worked well and shower was great.

United KingdomMattress and pillows not to everyones taste but you are not at the Ritz here so context is everything Location was fab and bed was clean so for me it was a pleasant stay The staff in the laundrette coming to work and decided to chitter chatter in the courtyard at 8am !
Location was great - in the town close to all bars and restaurants This property is an old building so you are going to get areas that may need attention eg:: decoration But overall this is good value for money. The beds were not amazingly comfortable but not horrific - clean sheets and towels which is great Bathroom is tired but nothing too drastic You are close to a laundrette but machine stopped at night Was nice to have an outside space also Easy to get keys from the cafe over the road Overall it was a lovely weekend and an adequate place to stay.

United KingdomThe bed (double) was very low to the floor, and extremely uncomfortable, the springs could be felt through the mattress.
Location was excellent for the centre of town, directly opposite the Co-Op, 5 minutes walk form pubs, bars and restaurants. The lounge was large and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and a decent size.

United KingdomIt could have done with a better clean, the blinds were very dusty and bed side lamps, there was even dust on the kitchen utensils on the worktop. There were marks on the walls and a dirty oven tray in the oven. But saying that the bedding and bathrooms were clean!!
In an ideal place, plenty of room in the appartment. No parking but enough parking on side of road overnight.

United KingdomThe bathroom in the apartment could do with refurbishment. The bath was old and had a bright blue/green stain on. The shower on the other hand was lovely and powerful and looked brand new. Some of the wallpaper in the twin room was coming off the wall.
The woman at The Crown who gave us the key, was really helpful and showed me exactly where the apartment was. She also offered good advice on where to shop and which places were open and when for food.

United KingdomCheck in was odd; had to queue with customers buying coffee and cake in the cafe. We didn't expect the amount of steps to apartment 2. Beds and pillows were sadly uncomfortable, and single beds squeaky. Kitchen is not "fully equipped" as described - no oven glove, no dishcloth, only one tea towel, knives were blunt, no potato masher, no grater, not even salt and pepper pots. Oven tray hadn't been cleaned prior to our using it. Never stayed in a self catering apartment so poorly equipped and which is in need of some repair and renovation. No information about wifi (only spotted on this site when we came to review). No leaflets or any useful information for visitors. Toilet was slightly leaky, water leaking from somewhere into a bowl housing a houseplant on bathroom windowsill. Dust webs from lounge ceiling. Not what we expected from a large business that owns several pubs in the town. Grass had not been mowed in garden. Yes, it's been very rainy but looks like it hasn't been touched since last year. Spotted a live woodlouse on the bed after getting out of bed on the final morning. Husband said he had seen several during our two nights' stay. Photos do not include the kitchen of apartment 2. The short staircase leading from the kitchen to the lounge and bedrooms has no handrail; there are however some hot pipes which could be mistaken for a handrail by a child.
We want to include some positives. Location was excellent and accommodation was quite cosy and very warm. Nice lounge. This could have so much potential if much more care and attention paid to small details.

United KingdomThere was rubbish on the floor of the apartment the fabric on sofas and a scatter cushion were dirty. There was no tea towel to dry up and no cloth to wipe tabes etc. The internet was not working and being with a teenager as you can imagine they were not happy, not that they are on there phone lots but it did say internet was provided, so we could not connect to the Netflix via smart tv to have our movie night. I have four children and we give doing presents at Christmas. It was time for my daughter and me to have some fun away from our reality… it’s not the end of the world but it was a little disappointing.
