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.).

United KingdomUntil you actually get there, a bit difficult to locate. There are a number of multiple apartment complexes near the house most with a number 6. Taxi drivers can get East Suffolk road and East Suffolk Park mixed up, as happened with myself but after a quick call found out we were only 200 yds away.
Nice quiet location, short walk to bus stops to/City centre. Large bath & the twin beds were larger than expected. Large park area outside, which would be pleasant to sit in in the warmer months.

United KingdomThe beds weren’t very comfortable, 1 single bed and 1 camp bed but in fairness the owner did say the property had been empty for several years and they have only recently decided to let rooms out and were looking into getting new beds , and also there wasn’t any tv but as we were out sightseeing most of the time if didn’t bother us.
Nice property in a quiet location on outskirts of Edinburgh, so away from the busy hustle and bustle but easy to get to by bus or about 30 minutes walk if wanted. The owners were lovely and we had access to kitchen and appliances , a lovely lounge, and bathroom whenever we wanted.

Czech RepublicIt could have been cleaner. You sleep very obviously in someone’s room, the second bed is just basic folding bed, but it’s not too uncomfortable. But it’s very okay for the price we paid.
They were really nice and let us park our car in the driveway even before check-in.

FranceWe felt terribly unwanted. We received this email one week before the stay : "Hello. Im terribly sorry—we need to cancel the reservation. My mother will be taken to the hospital to be operated on next week and we need a room in the house available for a 24 hour carer." I asked the lady in charge if she has an other solution for us as it was late to find something else convenient and after a few exchanges, she finally said she can keep our reservation. I suppose booking.com rejected her demand Once we were there, we met the mother who was actually in charge, looking perfectly ok, standing and working in the house after her operation. And the carer was actually her daughter who came to visit her and was staying downstairs when home. Upstairs was an other room available next to ours with two beds for renting which were unused. To go to the kitchen, you need to pass through her living room. We felt we were annoying her the few times we used it. The mother also asked us to not use the bath towel left for us in the room if possible. The place looked pretty clean but not sure the bedding and towels have been changed for a while Only one chair in the room of two persons. All the house was impregnated with incense, as was the room. One of the window was broken. It almost fell when we tried to open it. The price was ridiculously hight.
Cute little house. Pleasant neighborhood. Comfortable beds. Close to the bus station and easy to go in the center. Very quite.

United StatesI did not realize from the information given on Booking.com that the bathroom was shared. I would not have rented it had I known this. The room was very cluttered with the owner's belongings. The beds were hard and lumpy. It did not appear very clean. The towels were draped over the radiator because there was nowhere else to put them. I honestly didn't want to get into the bed after seeing the state of the room. The information on booking said there was a kettle; there wasn't. The bathroom was also very cluttered with the owner's toiletries, personal items, and cleaning supplies. A mop was left standing in the floor. There was nowhere to hang a towel. The bathmat was filthy. I was afraid to use it. The shower was hand held but worked. I could not wait to leave the place. Fortunately, I had an extremely early flight the next morning and was there only long enough for a brief sleep.
Owner was responsive to emails regarding navigating to the property, which was difficult to find even using the included directions. She was home when we arrived and answered the door, though she had left the key out. She made tea for me upon arrival, which was very kind.

United KingdomThe bedroom had no lock and there were other male guests in the house. There was a dark entrance with nobody to greet me. The key was in a basket which anyone could have found and got in and to my room. I was not shown the bathroom and there were no tea making facilities.
The property could be good but it wasn’t ready for guests.
