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 KingdomThe building was a bit odd and difficult to navigate but that's only my personal opinion as I have very bad sense of direction.
Big spacious apartment with a balcony, just perfect for our stay. Very clean, lots of plug sockets, blackout curtains, amazing mattresses, coffee/tea/sugar/milk/bottled water provided. All round a very good quality apartment.

United Kingdomcould do with a few more pictures and mirrors. It's a bit sparse and clinical. Bathroom plug missing in sink. Put a rail or holder up for the shower head in the main bathroom. It's down at the tap height which is no good if you want to shower.
met by owner who was extremely helpful. Clean and tidy. Larger than expected.

Martin meeting us at the property. He guided us in from the main road, showed us our parking space and gave us a very thorough and helpful introduction to the building and our flat. His advice on travelling into London and somewhere local to eat at night was spot on :-)

United KingdomNo complaints whatsoever! We liked everything.
Good communication from Abodebed regarding our booking. Martin, our host was so welcoming, friendly and helpful and gave us great travel information especially for visiting London. Perfect location and easy to find. Apartment security was excellent and on site parking was a bonus. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, well appointed apartment with everything we needed. Quiet and relaxing with very comfortable beds. Easy driving distance to Harry Potter tour and supermarkets and shopping within minutes walk away. We'll definitely book here again !

AustraliaWe were in the area to visit Harry Potter World and this worked perfectly for us. It's a very convenient location at the bottom of St Albans Hill (the road from the M1) and on the Magic Roundabout. The host is very helpful and met us on site. You just message him when you're 45 mins away. Apartment has super comfortable beds, was warm in January and had plenty of hot water. It's also very clean. Undercover secure parking. Breakfast cereals were provided and milk. The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of cookware if you wish to make your own meals. Wifi was good. We didn't spend a lot of time in the place except to eat and sleep. We wanted somewhere with space and light that was within reasonable distance from Harry Potter World (15 mins in a car) and this fitted the bill perfectly. (BTW excellent restaurants in Hemel's Old Town. Highly recommend Cochin and ChangMai.)

United StatesPeople below us were smoking on terrance and it kept wafting into our apt. We had to close windows. Sometimes it was noisy at night.
For 5 people, it was spacious. We liked having extra bathroom and a large fridge. Staff were very helpful. Located close to an Aldi.

United KingdomThe parking lot gate for check out. If the layby outside is full like it was for our check out then it's tricky to park the car outside and go back inside to post your parking gate key fob. The parking lot is basically on the magic roundabout so if the layby is full it's hard work.
The apartment was very clean and a nice size. I liked the personal touches by the host like supplying us with milk and cereal.

United KingdomThe only let down was the parking as I didn't get any space in the allocated bay on the first day. There were limited spots you could park in as most were reserved. The parking was also very tight in these spots. With the apartment I had asked for a king and super king bed and I got a king and a double bed but it was still ok as we had a sofa bed in the living room.
Loved the apartment and the view was great as it overlooked the big roundabout and although it was noisy with traffic i dont mind that as i sleep better with background noise. The opening balcony was great and the apartment was spacious. Both bathrooms had ensuite as well as an extra bathroom which was great. The parking is very secure to get in and out so that's an extra safety and there are takeaways near by that we could pick food from. I always book hotels but I would definitely consider apartments next time. The host was great with communication as I could always get through to him and he was very helpful.
