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 StatesWalls are soooo thin! Neighbors were having a party the whole 2 days we were there. They were very loud/yelling and were talking loud and slamming doors the whole time. Bathroom was dimly lit with only 1 set of lights. Needed hand towel. Handles on bathtub were off for shower feature. Remote for tv had low batteries and didn’t work well. Sitting area/living room was not comfortable to sit in to watch a movie (couch or chairs). Beds were ok. Place was roomy and quaint.
Location, ambiance.

United StatesThe grounds, were not clean. Even though It’s winter, the leaves could have been cleaned from the outside stairs. Although esthetically clean, the air was “old” smelling. There were spider webs on the floor board corners. When you’re charging a cleanup fee, guest expect clean.
The location was perfect.

New ZealandBelieve the original listing advertised a pull out sofa... it was actually an air mattress, but it was comfortable. We did have to get in touch with the landlord to get linen for the extra bed. Housekeeping didn't quite tidy up beforehand, there was a wet bag of towels and dirty linen left behind, but they fixed it up within 30min. Since it was so cold - it would have been nice to have an electric kettle to heat up water, but we were able to boil water in a pot on the electic stove. I'm a bit fussy with my bedding as I run hot and need to have breathable fabrics + have sensitive skin... sheets and blankets were a polyester blend, not natural fabric like linen or cotton. If this is a concern for you, consider bringing your own bedding. Lastly, sleeping in the main bed, it rained really hard one night, and my partner said he felt water dripping on his arm (for about an hour, every few minutes, just a drop on himself or could hear it land on the bed)... but when we went to investigate the ceiling in the morning there didn't appear to be any water damage. So, I'm inclined to think... is this space haunted?! 😳 (which might even be something I like... as we're suckers for a bit of spooky history) or perhaps a leaky roof needs to be checked out.
The house is located very close to the Square - short drive to all the places we wanted to be. Plenty of space for 4 people to stay the night, even more for 2 people. Great bathroom with lots of towels and a big shower. Central heating was perfect for the cold blitz while we were visiting. The record player was a nice touch! I also didn't realise the space was dog-friendly... if we had known beforehand, we may have invited my dog's brother to join :)

United StatesThe contact phone number is disconnected and didn’t work. The listing states there is a “sofa bed”, but it’s just a very firm sofa. There were no linens provided for the sofa. When we messaged the host that the linens were not available where they said they would be, they simply never responded. We had to borrow linens from a guest in another unit.
Beautiful property and great location.

United StatesThe air conditioner went out a couple hours after we arrived. We texted through booking.com and through the phone number given and did not receive a message until the next morning that they were sorry they did not get back to us about the air conditioner . we went to Walmart to get a fan that evening so that it was not hot sleeping. I understand things happen, but there's no excuse for not getting back to us and it was already late in the evening to go somewhere else and we've already spent the money to stay there.
It was spacious

United StatesExtended the stay not knowing they'd allow college partiers to violate <8 ppl rule in next apt & blasting music from the moment they checked in depriving of basic law right to peaceful enjoyment Finally got owner (called both #'s repeatedly over cpl hrs). He argued they only had to lower music after 10 pm which they didn't & he was "too busy" to go over there As w/ other reviews, he's nice until he had to be a responsible and,like another man's review, had to get other accmdtn due to owner negligence refusing to rectify situation
First night was fine (there's heavy street noise so front room too noisy but had 2nd bedroom. Even w/guests in adjacent apt , fine b/c they acted within norms Nice to have tub but they bought cheapest version without shower stand and made for someone short

United StatesThe shower attachment didn’t work & bathtub was dirty. There is no interior deadbolt on the front door. No way to feel secure in the unit. Cracks in the walls & floors due to foundation damage. Can’t close the bedroom doors because of foundation damage & rug in the way. Constant harassment from the landlord threatening to fine the renters. Traffic noise made it impossible to sleep. Had to leave at 1:00am to find another hotel so we could sleep.

United StatesI would just make sure the people staying know that it has only a bath tub, no stand up shower option. This was not a big deal for me but others may need other options.
Loved the decor, high ceilings, original wood floors. Amazingly high windows with gothic peaks. I really liked that the dining room table can be used as a desk and is right up against the window so you have great lighting as you're working as I was partially on this trip.
