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 KingdomThe entrance door to the 421 was serious heavy. If you are less mobile or elderly, you have no chance opening it one handed. For some reason they thought it was a good idea to paint the halls and stairway in black paint. It makes it very dark and dingy. The whole place could do with a lick of paint but it's nothing major. What I did find really disappointing was how grubby everything was. The bathroom had beautiful fixtures but was let down by the fact the floor to ceiling tiles were absolutely filthy. The cups, plates, pans and cutlery all needed washing before I used them. On the plus side, washing up liquid was provided. I don't think the skirting boards had ever been cleaned. If the owners gave their cleaners more training then this place would be perfect. Would I stay again? Yes I would but hopefully it would be cleaned to a better standard.
Great location. Great sea views. A really good sized studio apartment. The man that checked me in was friendly and helpful. The fittings in the apartment were modern and everything you would need including remote controlled air con and heating. Huge TV on the wall, decent double bed. Cooker and microwave along with a coffee machine. Tea towel, washing up liquid etc was provided which is a plus. The check in was next door at 419, which also has a lovely bar with sea views. Decent priced lager as well. This place would have got perfect scores if it wasn't for the lack of cleanliness.

United KingdomRoom was small cramp dated dirty needs a overall. Cracks on the walls. Utensils especially frying pan was dirty. I brought my own. Had to make daughters bed up on the sofa when we arrived. Duvet was dirty we brought our own blankets anyway. People smoking straight below us in a no smoking area.no one said anything to them so we couldn't have doors to balcony open for the view especially on the last day old man smoking a pipe.even with door closed could still smell it. I said something but the guy just ignored me. Stairs are a bit scary especially for young kids. Wooden and gaps between each steps. Overall needs a fresh coat of paint especially in the gallway which is black paint and skirting boards.
Great location away from noise if town centre and near Pleasure Beach. Had access to hotel facilities next door. Free WiFi which kept going off make sure on arrival you ask for the password. There was toilet roll sponges for washing up in the hotel available to all guests to use. Vending machines selling everything you might need from toothbrushes to plasters to crisps and sweets.

United Kingdomthe parking is a bit of a nightmare , you block each other in , your parking ticket has your mobile number on it so if your neighbour needs out , they text you the night before telling you when they need out , that bit worked out fine , I went to move my car as per text request , moved to the other side so she was able to get in her car and pack, i had parked blocking a space giving her space to open her doors etc ( very very slim parking spots ) , the bar staff man who also is check-in man was out quicker than Jack Robinson slapping parking tickets on my car ( empty ones) - apparently to draw my attention to my infringement. although no cost was in cured it was highly annoying and not very customer friendly. also the main entrance too the apartments is supposed to be card entry only but a gentle push opens it without the card , allowing entry to anyone , however there are very many cameras on site.
amazing location , close to all the local attractions, well equipped apartments with everything you need, including air conditioning in every room , vending machine in main hall way with everything you might have forgotten such as Deodorant, toothpaste etc , fantastic base.

United KingdomChairs at table weren't the most comfortable, but didn't actually eat more than breakfast and snacks in the accommodation. Daughter said sofa bed wasn't very comfortable and chose to sleep on double bed. Parking, though pretty standard for Blackpool (3 rows, 3 deep) made me glad we'd decided not to bring the car.
Great location on the seafront and surprisingly quiet, considering its location. Bed was comfortable, shower was pretty good too. Air-conditioning was a real bonus as it was pretty hot outside. Bar next door was convenient and staff friendly.
