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.).

the location was perfect, the flat was clean, warm and quieter than you would expect being so close to a main road. Modern, bright, felt safe.

New ZealandNo real negatives - just worth mentioning the apartment was up 4 flights of fairly steep stairs, and a last minute significant security bond was required, which may catch some people out.
Fantastic location in walking distance of most central London attractions and transport options. A treat to have a whole apartment, well presented, with friendly communication throughout the booking process - and the little welcome box of goodies on the bench was appreciated.

PolandTo finalise the booking and prepare for the check in you need to register on the other website and that initial exchange was cumbersome. The facilities are in the fair condition but the sofa-bed is near impossible to sleep on (can't imagine it for 2 people). The water pressure in the shower was very low.
This small apartment has a perfect location for a short stay in London when you use the place just to sleep. Codes used at the entrance are an easy way to access the location without additional stress.

United KingdomNothing! The stairs could be challenging for the less sprightly but not an issue for us. If i was to suggest anything to make this property even better I would say coat hooks by the entrance and one on each bedroom door would be great. Then a foldaway luggage rack in each bedroom for unpacking, its tempting to throw cases on the lovely white beds but luggage wheels are filthy from the streets...just an idea x
Enjoyed an amazing weekend at this fabulous property. The location was spot on. We are a family of four, mum, dad & two six foot teenage boys, so we used both double rooms and the sofa bed. 2 bathrooms was great too! Flat 3 was modern, clean and hugely spacious for central London and perfect for us. Its was great to have the light from windows and juliet balconies to watch the street below. Great to have kitchen facilities but we only used the kettle, toaster & fridge choosing to eat out. We love the buzz of the city streets so dont mind a bit of noise, love to people watch. The triple glazing was sufficient to block most of it out at night and our sleep was never disturbed so it was never an issue for us. Ive stayed in many London apartments & hotels, this one was my fave so we will defo return! Thank you Home.ly

Israelthe sofa bed is very uncomfortable and not suitable for two grownups. The apartment is very noisy from the street, ear plugs helped us sleep. The curtains don’t block the light.
The location is central, close to all the main attractions, but it is on a big street so it gets very noisy inside. The apartment was clean and well equipped, the bedroom bed was ok but the sofa bed was very uncomfortable. Hosts were very responsive, they supplied us with two extra fans at our request.
