How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was very clean and perfect size for what we needed it for. The property got right back to me when I messaged them. Close to a lot of great restaurants.
The noise. Being right next to the hospital there was a lot of sirens and helicopter noise. It is not as seen in the picture as far as the 180 view. The balcony could use at least one more seat

Verified reviewLocation was so central Apartment extremely clean and bed super comfortable Bathroom was huge! Parking was a breeze Had everything we needed Owners very easy to communicate with and responsive
Check In process was a little confusing - I highly recommend the owners put pictures with the instructions so that all the different areas spoken about are easier to find. Felt a bit like a scavenger hunt The other thing to be aware of is the location - the location although very central is right across from a hospital so the ambulances on the Friday night we stayed were non stop With that the window in the main bedroom is pretty terrible - it’s like the insulation or thickness wasn’t as good as the others in the place? I couldn’t figure it out but it sounded like the window was open even but it definitely wasn’t so it made the sounds at night even worse So bring ear plugs! :)

Verified reviewSpacious apartment adequately equipped for a short stay. Well located for walking to Civil Rights sites and supermarket.
Arriving late at night as a result of a much delayed flight and disoriented having driven from Atlanta on the ‘wrong’ side of the road, the key and parking instructions were not easy to follow and we landed up initially parking in the wrong place.

Verified reviewThe space was nice, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was very pretty! Everything was clean and the host was responsive. The towels when we got there were all very damp so we had to put them into the dryer to dry. Thankfully that just means they were recently washed :) There is a bed, futon (not very comfy because you can feel the bars in the middle), dining table with two benches, and two chairs outside. There is a TV in the living room which is nice. The balcony view is very pretty too. It would be good for one night, for one person - maybe two.
First and foremost the check-in process was wild. If not for a worker who was coming in, we never would have figured it out. We had to park, use a code for two doors, find a lockbox with a key fob, use the key fob to open the gate to the parking garage, then move the car into the gated area. Then go through a door in the garage using the fob, get on the elevator, and then a very long code on the unit door. The employee who helped us told us that he had never before found the BRINX box we needed, but thankfully he did that day. We also had to cross an entire alley to get to the gated area where the box was located. It was a bit overkill in our minds. Checking out was nearly just as complicated also. Our feet were filthy after walking around on the floors for a bit, but otherwise things seemed quite clean. No tv in the bedroom. There were no paper towels, 1 coffee cup, no silverware, no coat hangers, no laundry stuff for the washing machine and dryer. Towels on arrival were too damp to be used.
Hey sorry you feel this way . None of this was communicated during the stay . I work my best to accommodate any guest in any way I can . Best wishes . Affluence Ventures ☺️

Verified reviewThis was a very nice place. It was clean and had everything I needed. They messaged me to make sure everything was going smooth. Couldn't ask for a better place, right in the middle of downtown. You are walking distance from everything. And had a pretty nice view of downtown. I would definitely recommend to stay here. If I'm ever in birmingham I will be looking for this apartment. Thank you for making my stay feel like home.
Thank you Brandon! We would love to host you again. Best wishes ☺️

Verified reviewKitchen facilities was great - bathroom was huge - bedroom was great size and facilities of building looked brand new and extremely clean all around. Very secured and secured parking.
We hit severe weather conditions with a sudden severe storm no one predicted. We almost had an accident during it and were forced to stay 1-night hours away and took us an entire day to get to property instead of 4-hours. The host was reluctant in their not wanting to assist with any form of refund or partial refund in any manner. I communicated multiple times the day of and that night along with during the stay and it seemed an office was handling the communication. So, no one was looking back further in the communication chat or provided a phone means to speak with someone. We also were locked out of the main common area in the property as our family came to see us and we wanted to use it but was unable too and the host did nothing about it except say it should be open after the next day.
Hey Greg, sorry about this inconvenience. We are not responsible for weather conditions. There was no winter storm in Birmingham, Alabama. Also you can cancel 24hrs up to the booking date no extra fees . We are not in control of weather control or the day you book when there’s a prediction of bad weather . Sorry about this mishap . Kind Regards , Affluence Ventures

Verified reviewLocation was great. Assigned free parking space in gated lot was comforting. Balcony was pleasant. Appliances were new. Clean. Large restroom and closet.
Furniture suited for studio not for the size of this apt. Living: Futon is hard and uncomfortable. Only other seating options; 2 backless barstools, with another barstool as table, and a mini table with 2 small backless mini benches. We literally avoided that area. No space to work. Bedroom: No TV, no curtains, tiny nightstands and no dresser. Kitchen: No coffee cups or mugs. Bath: Low water pressure in shower. *Lengthy door code and never figured out the use for remote because fob worked both gate and door.
