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.).

SwedenThe pillows were a little thin for us, BUT there were enough to double up on them so it wasn't a problem!
We really liked our stay at Top of the House. John was a very friendly and nice host. It was a pleasure to stay here and we'd like to come back next time we're in the UK.

First of all, Mr. John was very enthusiastic and interesting. He patiently explained the environment of the room and nearby restaurants, etc. Most importantly, he helped me solve many difficulties as a foreign tourist in the local area. He is the most enthusiastic British person I have ever met. Regarding the living experience, the room is very clean and tidy, and the sunlight is very good. I like the small window on the roof. In short, this place gives me the feeling of home.

JapanThe kitchen and bathroom facilities are together in one room, and I would have preferred if they had been separated. There is only a small wash basin for washing, so dishes have to be washed here too. However, it is not an apartment and it isn't really a big issue. It's a little far from the city centre.
John was a wonderful host, extremely helpful and friendly. He provided a wealth of useful information and had a great sense of humour! He kept in touch by WhatsApp before and during our stay, and allowed us to post our giffgaff cards to the house in advance, which was very useful. The room was very spacious with two double beds, and very cosy. There are lots of books and games in the room, which we didn't have time to make use of, but it gave the accommodation a nice homely atmosphere. Also, nearby, there are a lot of great restaurants (Lebanese, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Indian, etc.), Morrisons supermarket, and bus and tram stops into the city.

John and Chris are amazing hosts, they made me feel very welcome and provided everything needed for a short stay. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The fridge and microwave are a fantastic bonus. It was only 10 mins away from Trafford Park where I was working, very easy to get to. Parking was easy in the street, even in a Transit van as I was. Will hope to stay here again if available when I’m next in Manchester. Highly recommended.

AustraliaNothing, extremely comfortable stay.
Everything you want and need in a stay.I also didn't realise when I checked in that the bedroom) ensuite included fridge and microwave which was such a delight. The room is massive with 2 queen size bed ,iron, hairdryer, everything thought of. Great communication from John the owner and kept me informed prior to my arrival and was kind enough also to allow me to order some parcels directly to his house. The 135 bus which is a stone's throw away takes you directly into town and there is Aldi and Tesco within 5 mins. I.m not sure if the sheets are 1000/1500 thread count Egyptian cotton but they were the most delightful bedding i.ve ever experienced.
