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):
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.).

SwitzerlandThe beds were a little too hard for me, and sometimes you hear noise from the neighbours or the street during the night.
The apartment was very spacious. The description for check-in was very detailed, and could take place outside business hours for self check-in.

United KingdomYou're scheduled to a key pick-up time as the agent is waiting for you in the apartment. We were late due to a train delay so had to delay the key pickup for 20 minutes, but that meant the agent couldn't meet us for ~40 minutes due to having another check-in to complete. There are also a lot of pre check-in requirements: check the fine print section at the bottom of the booking page. The contact telephone number for the company is a pay number (0845) in case you need to talk to them.
Location was excellent, full facilities in the flat (washer/dryer, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer). Fans and umbrellas provided.

Trinidad and TobagoI would have liked a desk, but was able to use the dining table and would have preferred if the bedroom did not face the street.
It was a lovely, comfortable one bedroom apartment. The living room was spacious, the kitchen well equipped. Check in and check out we're very easy. It was in Britannia Street, very close about 5 mins walk to King's Cross Station and 10 mins walk to the British library. Very well located, near Tesco, Sainsbury local and St Pancras rail station. The damage deposit refund was posted the next day. I highly recommend this apartment to the business or leisure traveller.

United KingdomI would say the apartment was overall comfortable. But since it is run by a company, there are small details that we missed from a real home where actual people have lived in. For example, there was no salt, peeper or oil for the kitchen. There was no wine glasses. There is an oven but no gloves or anything to take hot food out of it. The TV is in a weirdly low table so is very uncomfortable to watch sitting in the coach. There is no curtains in the bedroom, just a blackout screen, so during the day there is no privacy at all to get dress or be around the room, unless you want to be in complete darkness. And the bed is REALLY small for 2 people, and for no reason since the bedroom is big enough to accommodate something a little bit bigger. I would say the apartment is ok for a couple of nights but for longer stays it starts to get uncomfortable.
The apartment in Britannia street is very good. It has a lot of pros: is in a quieter street but really net King’s Cross, so it’s well connected. The bathroom is big an spacious. Any it has a lot of storage space. It has a lot of good amenities like a complete kitchen, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine. Also the heating worked perfectly. Also the company renting it was really accommodating and responsive for any need.

IsraelThe stairs to loft with bedroom and bathroom were steep for octogenerians such as ourselves, and the bath/shower slippery.
The location was easy to get to by public transport, a block from a super-market and week-end market with excellent food. The kitchen contained all necessary equipment except a coffee press, which was standard in previously rented short-stay apartments, which they brought in on request.

United KingdomBefore our arrival we received a message to say that we had been given a ‘free upgrade’. The upgraded flat did not have the balcony we had been promised originally and was extremely basic. We were not able to move back into the original flat that we had booked. The dining table was just inside the door of the lounge/kitchen/dining main room, pushed right up against the sofa, so really only 2 chairs could be easily accessed. The sofa was only just far enough from the TV to suffice. The kitchen was poorly equipped - no egg cups, chopping board, baking tray, pint glasses rather than tumblers … We only intended to prepare breakfast at the flat, but the missing items made that difficult. The agency did provide a cafetière when asked. There was also a handle coming off the spice cupboard in the kitchen. On our arrival the toilet seat cover was broken and in the morning we discovered that the shower over the bath didn’t drain properly. Again these two faults were sorted out when we complained about them. The shower head is rusty and the bathroom mirrors are all corroded. The general decor is in need of refurbishment and the flat didn’t seem very clean. There were no paintings on the wall and the flat had no personality. On arrival one of the bedside lamps was broken. Again this was replaced on request. The hairdryer provided had quite a short flex, so it was not possible to access the nearest mirror while styling your hair.
Excellent position within easy walking distance of the underground at Kings Cross, and with a nearby Sainsbury and Coop. The agency were very responsive when we highlighted our disappointment in the flat. Thank you to Andrea and Kurt for their help.

United StatesWe did not feel 100% safe. Someone tried to break into the building during our stay (there's a youth center on the ground floor of the building and one often smells cannabis), hacking open the lock. It and the doorframe remained unrepaired for several days. In other words, the front door of the building remained noticeably broken and open. We left messages for the apartment rental company several times, but although they are nice folks, they did not seem to be unduly concerned. We, on the other hand, felt we needed to carry our laptops and other valuables around with us constantly for those four days, as we did not feel the building was adequately secured. That was quite uncomfortable and inconvenient.
This was a perfectly fine, economical place to stay and very convenient to the British Library in London. The location is great, especially for an extended stay. There's an excellent supermarket a couple of blocks away, and several nice local restaurants around the corner. The Coal Drops complex is nearby, so there are plenty of amenities in the neighborhood.

United StatesMaintenance on the property leaves much to be desired. We had a terrible leak that flooded the entry way. We put up with workers coming in to mop up water and fix the problem. I put pans and a bucket to catch the drips. We were never compensated for the inconvenience. Also, no one turned on the heat before we arrived, and the first night it was so cold, we had to sleep in our coats. We were overcharged for a blow-up mattress that they picked up after 2 days because it didn't hold air. The staff answered emails promptly, but the same person never answered twice, so I had to explain problems multiple times, and no one ever seemed to care about the issues.
I've stayed in this apartment before, and I love the location near Kings Cross. The rental staff was always very quick to respond, but we had some major problems with leaks and lack of heat the first night.

United KingdomShower could be better. Definitely control the temperature of the place via radiator not the one on the wall in the living room as I thought I’d turned it down yet woke up in the middle of the night and it was 27 degrees!
Owners let me check in earlier which was amazing otherwise I would’ve had to check in super late due to my reason being there. Location is good, bed was super comfy, really spacious yet cosy. Kitchen area was amazing, had everything you needed. Felt safe and secure. So much storage for your belongings.
