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...).

AustraliaLounge was large and very comfortable, as was the bedroom. Located in the centre of town, close to takeaway shops and restaurants. An enjoyable stroll.

Its not major, but the mattress is fairly solid and the pillows are very flat, but it's very manageable.
The location is excellent. The flat is very clean, fully equipped and very spacious.

United KingdomDecor was rather tired and shabby in places. Having more than 2 mugs in the kitchen would be useful. The bathroom needs a hook - somewhere to hang towels, and more than one hanger in bedroom would be beneficial.
What a shower! :)

United KingdomI needed both duvets to keep warm (maybe spare duvet/blanket would be good). I got a bit chilly and was not sure how to turn on the heating, but there is an electric fan fire in the sitting room, so was fine in the end. The decoration needs a bit of TLC in some places, but was fine overall.
Nice little flat in a good location. Clean. Had the basic things needed for a self catering two night stay. Good shower - with a lovely flow of hot water. Very responsiive host via WhatsApp.

United KingdomThe property was extremely damp. The smell due to dampness was awful. So bad we could not spend much time in the property.The bed quilts were damp and we had to purchase a new quilt for one of the beds to use during our stay. I had to purchase some furry bed slippers, of which I had to wear in bed.The kitchen utensils were awful. Saucepans so badly burnt. Grease in oven trays. One teatowel for use for 10 days. The windows were filthy and the back yard at the property was disgusting.. 2 forks, 2 mugs, 4 bowls and 4 dinner plates no tea plates. There was no wardrobe to hang clothes. There was two pieces of wood high up in the corner of the bedroom with 1 hanger on it to hang clothes. It was so high I couldn't reach it. My friends, who live in the area, gave me some hangers and had to hang the clothes up for me as he is over 6ft tall. The electric fire in the sitting room was the heat source and I had to heat my clothes by it, before I could wear them as they became damp in the extremely damp property. The owner informed me that he knew about the dampness prior to renting the property out and is puting a bulldozer into the property to rip out the floors, in early September. This property should never have been on your booking site as a suitable holiday property.

United KingdomHad to clean the pans before we used them as there was sticky grease all over them, so we used 2 kettles of boiling water on that; felt like a student bedsit. Maybe I'm out of touch with prices, but in Newcastle upon Tyne, I can get a beautiful double room in the Copthorne Hotel for £90 plus breakfast.. Just felt this was far removed from that. Sorry, but that's my feeling.
Liked the location and the helpful instructions of how to enter the property

United KingdomThe kitchen drawers/cupboards were dirty, spiders and webs in both, knives, forks, cups, plates and bowls had to be washed before use as they were too dirty to use. fridge wasnt clean, there was no cloth, there was no washing up liquid, kitchen needed an overall good gutting! The bathroom ceiling was flaking off, particularly over the shower, wasnt very clean!
The location was fantastic, as was the parking, the beds were comfy, bedroom was nice and big, couches were also comfy, finding the flat and entering the premises was also easy, communication was quite good.
