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...).

Falkland Islands (Malvinas)No caretaker was there to help replace bulb from my bedroom. Called and replacement was meant to come following day. Had to buy on my own.
The place is quiet and walking distance from the centre. Kitchen facilities are very good.

United KingdomThe block is noisy and quite run down. The flat itself was modern but scruffy and massively overpriced. Would not return.
The kitchen area was well designed, with a large fridge-freezer and washing machine. The bedding was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomWas caught off guard a little bit because there weren't any toiletries in the shower. Yes there were of course towels etc but usually at a hotel you are supplied with simple things like that. Also, the checking in/out was a little awkward in my opinion. When you check out you of course have to leave your parking fob inside the apartment. So it's inconvenient having to move my car from the underground parking to just on the street outside, then having to go back in and return the parking fob/permit.
The apartment was a good size and the beds were comfortable.

United StatesThe apartment was smelling smoke very heavily. Bed wasn’t comfortable at all. Also you can hear the lifts movement all night long. There were brown stains on the bathroom door and walls. The TV was broken, it was not watchable.

Indonesiafirstly the whole building is going through an external facelift and is completely covered by scaffolding. the rooms have been semi upgraded but are not completed. The shower did not drain so water remained on the bottom. the bathroom was infested with silverfish and large gaps were around the walls. It was difficult to get into the building because you had to pass through a building zone. In order to leave I had taken our luggage down to the basement and load it there. Then I had to use the fob parking gadget to let us out of the carpark. I then had to park illegally just around the corner because trade deliveries were being done at the front entrance and then I had to leave my wife in the car, squeeze my way through builders equipment, return to the 6th floor unit to place the parking fob on the table, lock the door, place the door key on the key case and return through the tradesmen exit to to get back to the car and leave. apart from that it was fair.
modern furniture but not very practical.

United KingdomEverything was awful from first reaching the property not being able to park to unload our luggage , hard to access the security gates and nowhere to park our vehicle as headroom in the basement car park was restricted for our suv which made it impossible to use the lift to take our luggage up to the first floor. On reaching the room it was stuffy & smelled unclean and claustrophobic with facilities not as advertised. Awful.🙈
Nothing to like about this nightmare experience, arrived in Swindon late in the day to find scaffolding blocking the entire building with poor access to a metal security gate under the entrance to lobby with further access issues into the lobby to get to the lift to the first floor apartment as I have mobility issues after a recent back injury. On reaching the room via the lift which smelled of urine and was battered and looking tired we found the room which was not as advertised , it was claustrophobic due to being closed up probably due to not being used and the building work and scaffolding going on outside. Luckily we were able to get a last minute room at the Hotel next door ! Awful experience !
