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.).

United KingdomI thought the flat was soundproofed, but unfortunately not. There is a nightclub next door and the music plays, very loud, from 9pm until 4am (only really heard in the bedrooms). Myself and my daughter actually slept through the noise with ease as we had good quality ear plugs, but my mum and sister did not sleep as well.
I liked the fact that we each had a king sized bed (there were only 4 of us). One room with an en suite bathroom the other just a couple of steps from the bedroom (2 bedrooms apartment). It is very close to the North Pier and Blackpool Tower. Also a Sainsburys and M&S nearby. My mum has walking issues so the location was ideal.

United KingdomBeing next to a nightclub and backing onto bars it was very noisy at night with combination of the pounding bass and shouting. The apartment was for 6 people (3 double beds) there was only 3 of us and not enough hangers provided. Would benefit with coat stand or coat hooks in the hallway. Everything is very modern from the phone-app required to gain entry to working the radiators and kitchen appliances so would not suit someone not ok with new technology. The door phone app stopped working on the 2nd night but a key fob is also provided (just as well).
Great conversion of the previous building. No expense spared to the facilities provided. Modern decor with all mod-cons provided. 1 en-suite and 1 other bathroom.

United KingdomProperty is directly next door to a night club which was quite noisy when trying to get to sleep, however property did provide ear plugs.
Property was clean, spacious and in a great location. Also well equipped kitchen and the dressing tables with the individual mirrors and lighting is a great touch.

United KingdomWe had some issues at the start of our stay but the response from the owners was second to none. Despite only arriving home from their honeymoon that day they came in person to sort out issues as soon as possible. The position of the apartment was brilliant only a few minutes walk from the tower.

United KingdomThe property was up three flights of stairs which you are well informed about, and a lift is an antique and maybe work in progress. The high security wireless Bluetooth locks could be an issue for some lacking knowledge in modern technology, and we did have an issue on the second night, trying to get in due to no Internet in the building working so had to revert back to entering the property as when we entered for the very first time .
The property was exactly how it was described. It was well equipped to location is right by the North Pier. Do you have some sea views and also can see Blackpool Tower which is nice at night when lit up the accommodation was clean and tidy and very well presented the beds with very comfortable but obviously this was our personal opinion Everything you needed was provided towels, iron, ironing board and the kitchen was well equipped. If you decided he wanted to use it, but with the amount of eating establishments just a stones throw away, he might just be tempted to eat out every night.

United KingdomOnly 2 hairdryers provided for 10 guests have coffee facilities but no tea or milk and the key being an app may not be so practical for every guest. Lovely outlook though and no issues for us with noise from outside.
Amazing Apartments, stunning decor with everything you need especially for large groups with earplugs, aircon unit, plenty of toilet rolls provided and we'll thought out. Only improvement would be if you could provide more hairdryers and maybe some milk and tbags ect. We also had a few issues with some of the group not being able to download the smart key and it was a little temperamental on the upstairs door lock which was a bit irritating. We also couldn't work out how to use the sound system using the app, although it really was not really an issue and we will definitely be coming back again soon so can work it all out properly next time. Thanks so much for all your help letting us check in and out at different times it was much appreciated!

United KingdomOnly down side is appartments are joined onto a nightclub which is open untill 5am and next door to a pub so it's really noisy, so please be aware of this especially on a weekend as I think you would really struggle with children, you do get a good supply of ear plugs. This won't put us off going back the pros well out weigh the 1 con so we know to have that extra gin before bed 😂
Beautiful, top class luxury appartment, added touches are lovely, beds and pillows super comfy, very spacious for the 6 of us all girls Make up stations are perfect, Hosts are amazing friendly helpful couple, we were able to check in early and later departure, if these guys can help you they sure will thank you so much for a great stay

United KingdomNothing. It was all good. The only reason I scored slightly lower on the cleanliness side was literally because I check everywhere when I leave in case anything has dropped anywhere, and under the beds were very dusty. I feel a little hypocritical with this though, as mine at home are like this due to it being a tight space to get under. This certainly would not stop me staying again.
Very modern and luxurious in comparison to anywhere else we have ever stayed in Blackpool. I love Blackpool, but my husband has always been dubious. However, he loved the apartment and had a great time, so will return again.
