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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

New ZealandHead board was loose. Only one set of towels for two people. Perhaps a extra blanket as it was a little cold until we turn heating on and it got going.

United KingdomBasic staples like cooking oil would have been ideal. After checking out, we asked reception to look after our bags while we did a bit of sightseeing. When we collected the bags, my partner used their toilet and I over heard how the manager spoke to the receptionist who allowed this. She was frighteningly rude and in my opinion, the way she spoke to him was un called for. This upset me greatly.
The general staff went above and beyond to meet all and any needs I had. The studio was clean and comfortable and had all the basic equipment in the kitchen. Located just on the outskirts of the City.

United KingdomTowel rail, extractor fan and small cooker ring not working. Room narrow. Broken glass in corner near window (picked it up). Could have been warmer. Heating came on around 5pm but room took a bit to warm up. You can't accumulate the washing up as there is only 2 of everything but only one wine glass! You can hear other guests. Very quiet first night but disturbed in the early hours of the second by revellers outside. Difficult to regulate shower temperature, it was either freezing or scalding.
Overall clean and well maintained. Good security. Lift worked. Good location and easy to find.

United KingdomThe only downside was the bed, it was small and was squeezed in between the window and the wardrobe so wasn't very accessible.
The location was great, the studio was spotless, it looked like it had been newly decorated.

United KingdomI had a lovely stay so having to think hard about this section but, I noticed on arrival that the wooden floors in the room were loud when I walked on them in heeled boots so I made a mental note to remove them at the door after my night out as I would have hated to disturb other guests. I also got confused with the lighting in the room as the entrance light and the bathroom light are sensor activated and I spent some time trying to work out how to get them to go off before I realised my mistake.
The ease of finding the place, the welcoming greeting on arrival, the choice of lift or stairs, a fob to gain access in the front door at any time, the room was immaculate and thoughtfully laid out. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were spotless. It's in a very central and perfect location for anyone wanting to stay in the heart of the city

United KingdomThe oven was hard to work out in room 36 as the symbols had worn off and there were not instructions. It took us 20 mins. Thankfully we were allowed to use another room to cook in. The shower was very poor. Very low water pressure. It reminded me of when I was a child and we had our first shower fitted back in the day when water pressure was poor. This needs addressing as it was hard to wash long thick hair. The extra bed for our 16 yr old was above ours up a ladder, no problems there. But the edges around the mattress had not been cleaned and there was pockets of dust, fluff and hair .
Parking was good with lots of public car parks to choose from Room was adequate for our needs of an overnight stay for an open day at uni Facilities were good for making our own food.

United KingdomCould do with more shelves/storage and towel rails in the bathroom.
Highly recommended. Right in the city centre. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had an unfortunate water leak through the ceiling but it was dealt with efficiently and quickly. Always someone at the desk (until 10pm). Apartment was clean, large, bright and airy. Was fully equipped and included tea-towel, washing up liquid, cloth etc. which was a bonus. Large comfy beds and large fluffy towels. Toiletries also provided. We would definitely use again when returning to Plymouth.
