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.).

Wow! amazing property. The host was so attentive and everything was organized professionally. It was a last-minute booking but the host went out of the way to make it easy for us to check in. The mattresses were super comfortable, the heating can be easily adjusted, the bathrooms were super clean, the train station was a few minutes away, it was super quiet, a lovely neighborhood, a lot of natural light, and the garden was a nice thing to see in the morning. We would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to London.

KuwaitSadly my recent stay at this apartment was spoiled by a malfunctioning heater and boiler, resulting in discomfort due to cold temperatures and lack of hot water. It's hard to ignore these kind of issues, making it tough to recommend this accommodation.

LatviaThe surroundings aren't the cleanest in the city. The apartment lacks EU outlets; however, a UK-to-EU transformer can be purchased at the shop on the opposite side of the building. I encountered heating issues during my stay but received an immediate response from the host at 2 am, which was impressive. The heating system needs fixing to prevent the need for restarts of the boiler for hot water and heating. Contrary to the listing, there is no coffee machine, only a French press. The dining area has only 3 chairs and the kitchen is equipped with just 3 tea cups. Dishwasher tablets are not provided, but you're welcome to use my remaining ones. Both bathrooms are on the second floor, and the mattress was too soft for my liking, impacting my comfort.
The location is ideal, just a few minutes' walk from the underground and bus stops. Shops are also close by, and it's only a 15-minute walk to the train station

United Kingdom1) Size: in the description it was written total 180 m2 but the actual size is definitely not 180 m2 because my own place is 179 m2 and I can easily accommodate 6 people comfortably. I booked the space hoping same size but it was much smaller so I have to prepare back up plan to spend additional funding for other friends who originally was planning to stay with me. This is not quite happy experience as I knew this was too small, we would be better planned. 2) Air mattress (bed): not function well and later part of the night, air was all gone. So quite difficult for another individual to sleep on. 3) Internal facilities: kitchen facilities OK for very short stay of less than a week but not enough for longer stay families. Wifi was quite bad, need to use my own 4G all times but as TV was connected via wifi, so taking longer time to get the signals. 4) Neighborhood: the overall neighbor area is a place mixed with government housing area so it need special attention when walking around into certain places - from visitors' point of view. Maybe comfortable for pure Londoners. The last day stay (Oct. 28th Saturday) was quite noisy with nearby place organize big party and some teenagers probably drunk were even fighting with my neighbor apartment residents at around 1 am in the mid night. This also reflect my observation of the surrounding area. 5) Deposit: I was requested to put down GBP300 as deposit prior to moving in which is a surprise as I staying in other place for 3 weeks in July and never been requested for this. I made my deposit immediately same day as requested but as I am writing the comments 3 full days after I checked out, I have not yet received the full funding, which is quite annoying for just GBP300.
1) Location: next to Nine Elms station and very large Sainsbury Store and a small Chinese food store, very convenient to travel around. Nine Elms is 2nd last stop of Northern Line tube in London which can direct to various key sites in London for either tourist or exploring London various places. 2) Total number of people to stay: by staying in this place for 2 weeks, it is good for maximum 3 people to stay given the size, layout (it is a duplex flat with independent entry). 3) The owner (or operator): responsive and act fast in various questions during the stay. 4) The key box setting outside the apartment was convenient for picking up or dropping off the keys. 5) Heating: this is good.

SlovakiaCannot recommend anyone to stay here. Very overpriced, very dirty + major safety concerns and sleep disruption. Filthy. Dust on all surfaces. Not vacuumed for at least a month. Mold in shower. ("manager" of the property wanted to send a cleaner the next day, but that was after we vacuumed and cleaned ourselves to be able to wash our kids) Water heater in the apartment is faulty, despite "manager" saying it is brand new. Every other evening when we showered, hot water stopped working, with an "ignition error" on the display and had to be restarted Carbon monoxide alarm went off at 2am for 1+hr while we aired the apartment out, while being scared of fatal implications of CO poisoning Next day the "manager" admitted it rang before, came up with lies about why it went off (starting with that it is intentionally programmed to go off, which is complete BS: it has 1 button to turn it off and doesn't even have a way to replace batteries!). "A contractor said that the boiler is OK"; I wonder what their procedure was the month before when happened for the 1st time and neglected to replace the "faulty" 25 GBP CO alarm. Also not 100% guaranteed the CO leak doesn't happen only when the boiler goes into the "ignition error" state, which may occur randomly and not while the contractor is checking for CO. We decided to check out to not have to go through this sleep disturbance/risk dying the next night. They insisted we checkout quickly in the morning, which felt like being kicked out. Stressful. Extremely overpriced. Not much luxury, feels cheap. Many details in the bathrooms unfinished. No way this is 180sqm as indicated in the listing, feels small. Bedrooms+bathrooms upstairs, uncomfortable to walk up neighborhood feels unsafe at night with beggars and generally unpleasant people loitering around They are asking for 10 star reviews in exchange for discounts which is against booking.
- house has a CO detector which can save lives, but can also severely disrupt sleep - worst experience with a stay we have ever had

United StatesUpon arrival there were sheets strewn about and the couches were covered with protectors which just seemed weird. It was very dirty, hair and dirt everywhere. We did alert the host and he was very responsive and nice enough to refund us 20 pounds for the inconvenience of having to clean the place ourselves. There was nothing there that you would expect in an apartment with a kitchen...no salt, pepper, oil, and only 1 roll of toilet paper for a 4 day stay. That was disappointing as having the basics would have made a much better experience. Then, we got locked out. The door is quite cheap and janky and we literally had to pry open a ground floor window and climb in through it. It wasn't even worth alerting the host of the issue, we weren't about to spend hours of our only 4 day vacation waiting around for someone to come out to fix the issue. We also had no hot water in the beginning, and my partner had to adjust the boiler settings. Luckily he knew how to, because having to call them out would have been really inconvenient. The freezing cold shower after traveling for 24 hr was just not ideal. You have to send a wire transfer for a security deposit which feels really sketchy and weird after booking through booking.com and just felt not right, though we did get it back. House instructions also tell you to take out the trash, strip the beds and clean them, put away all the dishes, etc. Obviously I would never leave dirty dishes or trash strewn about, but to have to bring the trash bag to the dumpster outside and wash/dry all of the laundry feels a bit excessive especially when we arrived to a dirty apartment. Wouldn't stay again nor would I recommend to anyone. We were lucky to find this place last minute after another place canceled on us a couple of days before, but it wasn't even worth the price though relatively cheap.
The location was good. Nine elms station is very close with good connections to the city. There is a big Sainsbury's which is a huge bonus. The beds were comfortable.
