Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomThe bottom bed of the bunk bed was uncomfortable and extremely noisy, it creaked every time I moved.
I had mentioned that it was my daughter's birthday and when we arrived there were decorations and a cake. We really appreciated this touch. The Harry Potter theme was great, really added to our stay.

The communication was great, with really fast responses to questions we had. They also gave a detailed message about the checking in/out process with information about the flat. It was comfortable, with plenty of room. The decor is amazing. They have really made the place magical, and the floating candles/projector really give the living room a cosy feel. So many little things to spot around the flat and the attention to detail was brilliant. The flat was clean and there was plenty of space. The parking on the front is really useful. The location is perfect, as we actually stayed there to go to a show in London and it was an easy drive to the city. The surrounding area is lovely, with a beautiful park close by and a quick walk to the town centre. We are actually planning to stay here again when we go to the harry potter studio tour. Overall, I would highly recommend this flat.

United KingdomThe mattresses could do with updating and the sofa bed was very uncomfortable. But none of it mattered because the kids loved it!
We notified the hosts of an airborne nut allergy and they were great - even provided a gluten free, nut free cake to welcome us. House was super clean and all the little Harry Potter touches just made the stay. We had the films on it the background whilst we played the Harry Potter games. A perfect stay for our little Potterheads (especially as they thought we were staying at the Travel Lodge!)

United KingdomTheir was nothing not to like. Although the porch light was out so made it tricky to open the door in the dark. And maybe a new air freshener in the hall and little ones dotted around to combat the damp smell. But none of that impacted what was a great stay
Firstly, Chris and Maria are great hosts. Their communication is outstanding even before your stay. The parking space right out the front is great. The welcome biscuits were a great touch, as was the milk in the fridge. Everything was clean. There are towels and shampoo and conditioner if you forget yours. As a huge Harry Potter fan, the decor was amazing, and all of the little touches were fabulous. Would stay again as it's like a home away from home.

United KingdomWe only stayed one night - should have booked two. It was expensive for one night but the location and for what we got from it experience wise and memories it was definitely worth the money.
The Harry Potter theme - the detail that has gone into the decoration is incredible. The closeness to the country park and the Harry Potter Studio Parking for the car

A short walk to Watford Junction train station and Watford town centre, and a 6 minute drive to the Warner Brothers Tour. Great communication from the owners.

The themed house was a lovely surprise for my daughter and grandson. We were visiting Harry Potter studios and decided to make it special by adding an overnight stay. The wows, ooohs, and shouts of delight were well worth it.
