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 KingdomLocation is not great, booked for 7 nights, very noisy place, floor creeks, and thudding all night into the early hours. Seems the owner rents the top room out for long term resident.
Early check in was nice. Room was good size and generally clean. TV in room

United KingdomCreaking floorboards and a light sleeper would have struggled. Coffee was available but despite my request no milk was provided. Lighting in the room could be better. TV in the communal area didn't work.
Excellent kitchen facilities and the room was clean and comfortable. The on site caretaker was extremely helpful and as he went to university not far from my home, we connected.

United KingdomAlthough there is a TV in the shared area, there was no TV in the room, so not great for relaxing in private The room could do with a little lamp, otherwise its either darkness or very bright room light Room is near to the docks and the seagulls are very loud so not great for light sleepers As this is a room in a house, it is not totally clear that it is a booking.com property, I was not sure I was at the right place when I first rang the bell
Good value for money Easy walking distance to the town centre Clean and comfortable

United KingdomCould have a been a little cleaner. Power needed to be turned off for a few hours but I wasn't told (I wasn't in anyway)
Great for the price, room was a decent size, small en suite was nice. It was about £40 a night at the weekend, couldn't really expect more.

FranceNothing really. All I can say is the postcode given is incorrect as it is for the road leading to Harland Street. The corect postcode is IP2 8JU, this is important if you wish to order food.
The room was of a good size with an ensuite bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. There is a kitchen downstairs with a seating area and a large TV. Communication with the owner was good and I was able to gain the access code for the key box for entry into the house.

United KingdomBuilding was quite busy and even ear plugs couldn't drown out the sound of doors being slammed late and a couple in the room above getting frisky at 3.30am. Not a great option for light sleepers like me as the floors & stairs are creaky (not to mention the bed springs).
Room bare but good value for money. Bed comfy and generally no complaints (apart from a bit of noise).

United KingdomThere was no en-suite, which we knew in advance, but the sound from others using the bathroom next door came through the wall. We had to phone in order to gain access to the property.
The room was basic but clean and comfortable and it served the purpose for one night. The price was good.

NetherlandsEverything was dirty. We didn't even know whether the bedsheets were changed. They knew that we would come with 2 persons we got 1 towel. Smell was like old shoes in the room with smelling socks in it. Kitchen; if you touch the watercooker you could wash your hand because grease of fat on it. No wardrobe hook for your towel, even nothing in the bedroom to put it on the heating, so you couldn't use it again, because it was dirty too.. The owner only answered by doorbell call, we have not seen him. he doesn't seem to live there, the house is used by other people. Photos we send it later to booking. com.
Sad there was not much to be happy about
