How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Don’t let the location by an industrial estate put you off! You’d need a car to get to any amenities.
Beautiful first floor property, furnished to a very high modern standard. TVs in each of the two bedrooms (one didn’t work though). Loved the bluetooth speakers in the spacious bathroom!

Having to pay a £200 damage deposit that took 14 days to be refunded.
The two bedrooms are well appointed, comfortable and spacious. There is a lovely bathroom with a huge bath and a neat galley kitchen. The flat is in a residential cul-de-sac so nice and quiet but you need to be able to walk into the town centre if not driving.

We were unable to use the terrace as there was work going on in the garden. However, once this is finished (which it looks like it nearly is), it will be an amazing place to sit.
The apartment was beautiful. Two large bedrooms, both with excellent quality beds and linen. The bathroom was outstanding, with a powerful, walk in shower and stand-alone bath. The kitchen was small but high quality. Penrith was a short drive away. We had a fantastic 3 nights in the apartment and will definitely go back

Not really a didn't like, but an unusual location in an industrial estate.
Lovely 2 night stay, perfect for 2 couples. The apartment is spacious with two large bedrooms, an amazing bathroom and fully equipped kitchen should you need it, we didn't, although there are plenty of food options available in the local town (5 min drive) Close to all attractions would definitely recommend.

Due to location on edge of industrial estate, it seems a bit out on a limb. Ok if driving but need to give instructions for direct access to town when walking. Unmade path via back of station so need torch on a night.
Ideal for our 2 night stay over. Self contained kitchen very good, high standard facilities especially the bathroom, comfortable & clean. Quite surroundings for the location. Would use again.

Maybe a couple of extra towels and maybe some bubble bath would have been a nice touch with such a nice bath. Also no tea towel.
Clean, comfy, modern, lots of space. Wine provided by the host. Good communication.

I was very uncomfortable having to transfer £200 deposit for damages into a bank account outside of Booking.com, along with far too much personal data and information and then was charged £5 to get my deposit back. We had to demonstrate any existing damages within the first hour, which we did by photographing and sending to the owners. After a long drive up and then climbing hills, it was the last thing I wanted to do when getting I got into the property and we never fully relaxed whilst we were there. We have stayed at close to 100 properties and this is the first time we had to go through this process and hand over a deposit, I didn’t like the lack of trust. The apartment is just off an industrial estate so didn’t have the Penrith town character. It looked close to the centre on the map but you have to drive off the estate so the town was difficult to reach without a car. There is a short cut but we couldn’t find it. I also wasn’t keen on two apartments sharing one exterior door without a separate door to where we were sleeping. It felt like someone could walk up the stairs at anytime. My last niggle was the apex ceiling height at the edges, I banged my head getting into bed and my son banged his head getting out the bath.
A quiet area of Penrith, so no noise through the night. The rooms and feature's were very clean with lots of space. All basic facilities were available in the apartment with a deep roll top bath. Suitable for two couples or like us travelling an older child. The space will suit many types of travellers.
