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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Small bed for two people. It was hard to check in. Some kind of a glitch happened for everyone staying there, and we all had a hard time getting into the main space.
Surprisingly quiet with a well.appointed kitchen and bathroom. Super clean. Nice bedding.

Aircon in the bedrooms would have been helpful
Lovely apartment - fantastic set up for a family of four who like to have the possibility to cook breakfast for example. Lovely bathroom, kitchen and living room. Bedrooms were comfortable but were a little hot given the heatwave whereas the main room was lovely and cool with the air conditioner and too noisy outside to open the windows. Thoughtful provision of toiletries and equipment for the kitchen. Very well located. Easy parking just nearby. Check in was smooth and the luggage storage very convenient

The location is behind one of THE LOUDEST BARS in Halifax so if you can’t handle to concert-level noise till 01:30 then this place is not for you!
Excellent location and self-serve. No staff or reception desk, it was all app-based. The instructions were easy - my 90- year old mom caught on right away! The apartment was great - spacious and all amenities available for a self-catering stay. Laundry room available which was very helpful. Loads of restaurants within walking distance and the Harbour front just a few blocks away.

We were there on a Saturday night and the music from a nearby club was loud. But we just wore earplugs (which are provided in the room) and it was fine
It was spacious , spotless and well equipped with everything. Very easy check in process. Excellent location

I knew this hotel had no accessible staff, but didn't realize that meant that issues with checking in could not be easily solved. Also, the lobby is not air conditioned and it was hot and stuffy during our wait. I liked the location but would not be comfortable staying there if I was alone, since the entry way is tucked away and open to all.
The location was perfect and the room was large and comfortable.

We had some pretty rowdy upstairs neighbours for a couple of nights. We contacted by text message the hotel and not long after it got much better.
The self Check-in was great and worked perfectly. It was nice not to have to worry about keycards.
