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.).

There were some basic things missing, such as tissues and shower gel. There was a party through the night two doors down, which reduced quality of sleep (but is not the property's fault).
Size of property and the cleanliness. The rooms were spacious and it was a good space for a family with older teenagers.

The apartment was lovely, everything was as described, location is good, Tesco express nearby. Smooth check in/ check out. The owner/ staff is very responsive . They even left us a surprise gift as it was one of the friend's birthdays the day after our stay- which they spotted on the ID we sent . I would definitely recommend it!!!

The lack of privacy, The main door and the windows on the stairs were exposed there was no blinds. It would have been great if there was some kind of cover as the opposite neighbours can see into the house.
It was very modern, clean and warm. I felt very comfortable I love how luxurious this apartment is.

Not enough local choice for food. Eating out & take outs can get expensive.
The Property is Tall and Spacious, spread out over 3 floors, as you Arrive on the street the front gate and property enterance arent difficult to find or navigate, making getting luggage into the property an easy task. On the ground floor as you enter youre greeted by a hard floor twin bed bedsit, its pretty plain as it goes but the extra space and hard wood floor makes it Ideal space for bigger groups & families as it provides additional space for sleep & storage. On the second floor you will find a large open plan kitchenette there is everything you need for "Living" In the room, a fridge that works, Washing appliances, cutlery, a moderately comfy sofa and a tv with netflix, thebproperty also comes with internet, although Birmingham seems to have Signal Dampening Affects on Data. Finally as you go up one more floor you will find The master bedroom and the second (but main) bathroom, fitted with a bath, shower & styalised the water stays warm and the bedroom is cosy, the beds are comfy and the location is actually pretty quiet! I reccomend this property, it is within easy travelling distance of the city center and some local venues, its quite, well maintained and the staff are pleasant.

Unfortunately we were given incorrect codes to enter the property so this was difficult, likewise with WIFI and the TV we couldn't get to work. Although the property was clean some areas smelt strongly of smoke
A lovely apartment in a great location central for activities around Birmingham. Very good value for 4 adults
