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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomA small table and chair for eating or reading would go a long away to improve the comfort of guest in the room, rather than having to resort to the bed or the floor. The WiFi signal for the TV is in need of an upgrade.
Very clean, descent and large room; in a central location in Barnsley. It has been been recently refurbished. The bed and pillow are comfortable. Shared kitchen and toilet are good. Available parking is helpful.

United KingdomDespite the above, spent ages trying to access (get message an hour after entering that outside door codes didn't work) and dark once inside, so again difficult trying to work out entry. Didn't realise not ensuite - extremely basic apartment - and cold! No heating that I could see. Price wasn't expensive by any means - but it is Barnsley after all!
Location great - with parking behind apartments. The Dove pub a few doors away brilliant! Clear and well thought out instructions prior to arrival for location and door codes etc.

United KingdomUnfortunately, there were only four hangers in the wardrobe so anyone staying for a week wouldn't be able to hang up their clothes, nor would a couple staying in the room. The room didn't contain a table and chairs, though there was plenty of room for one, and only one chair in the kitchen area, so any meals had to be eaten sitting on the bed in the room. The point regarding tables and chairs in the room is one that has been made by others so maybe it's a point that should be taken forward.
The location was fantastic, as it was pretty close to town, and in a quiet area, as well, at a really excellent price. The room itself was incredibly spacious, so absolutely no issue there. It's just the sort of place for someone to base themselves before getting out and about during the during the day.

United KingdomOnly one street away from property Please read above thank the owner contact he couldn't believe the cock up address cock up literally five minutes drive away
We booked the apartment on route to a funeral it was a cold night both of us were tired. It took us about 3 hours to realise we had been given the wrong address. We had no way off getting in touch with the owner of the house. Eventually the Owner of the booking contacted us and given us the right address. We are not complaining about the owner but we are not happy with booking. Com this isn't good for the either of the property owners it souls never happen been given the wrong address

United KingdomParking wasn't specified how to get to it. We had to park up elsewhere and figure it out ourselves. Extra pillow on each side would have been great as 1 is a little flat for our liking. Also, a blanket would have been nice to have as when the heating went off overnight, it got a little chilly.
It was close proximity to where we needed to be. The room was clean and tidy, no clutter all bright and open.
