How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe apartment was near to Main Street. Good location.
The area where we stayed on the ground floor next to the lift was extremely noisy during the day and worst at night when people were drunk. They would sit on the bench outside the apartment next to us so the security light would also come on.

Verified reviewLovely ground floor flat, lots of noise from above!!!!! Fountain outside the bedroom window kept me awake all night, but I am a light sleeper. The bathroom window faces public courtyard and offers no sense of privacy. Please fit a blind to the window! The property is really cosy and well equipped. The response of staff os outstanding 👏 👌 Anything we needed, they were there for us. Perfect location, 5 min walk to Casemates Square, 10 min walk back with a belly full of beer and food 😋 lol For the price, it's good, it's well situated and well presented, you check in and check out on.you're own with ease and help is at hand if you need it...... So all in all, thanks and well done 👏 ✔️ 👍 🙌 😀

Verified reviewGood location just off main street. Clean compact but more than adequate. Bed comfortable, good storage, cooking facilities. Not much contact with staff as not based in building but always seemed helpful. Only through email.
We were in based in flat 1on the ground floor off a central well . There were 4 floors with walk ways to each flat. Not all the flats seemed to be occupied. At night any movement triggered central lighting which shone directly into our bedroom like a floodlight. The flat above ours seemed to have multiple occupancy who constantly were dragging furniture around , walking around and more importantly talking loudly often outside on their walkway which amplified the noise due to the design of the building which had no soundproofing. This was always late evening often after we went to bed around 10 30. Twice there were 'crashes' that woke us the first 2 nights. I referred the first night's incidents to the management company which suggested there was little to be done. I was then able to read previous reviews and these comments were repeated several times this year. I URGE THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY TO TAKE SERIOUS NOTE AND MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO IMPROVE THEIR CLIENTS EXPERIENCE. SADLY WE WONT STAY THERE AGAIN.

No blinds or blackout curtains to protect you from courtyard lights turning on every time someone stepped in or out. Walls are thin. Could hear conversations from upstairs neighbors as if they were sitting on your bed. Communicated to management but they don't care. They have had this issue since January 2024 and have not fixed such a simple thing. Don't believe false reviews, you cannot sleep here, from upstairs neighbors playing loud music and dropping things on purpose at night or people talking right outside window. Outside door left open always, although there were bars on outside window, since outside door was left open, anyone could break in through bathroom window. Didn't feel secure and would not recommend this place to anyone. Look back to review from Jan 2024 and this one, they are true reviews. After long day, couldn't sleep any nights here. Beware of this overpriced apartment. Nook is a no-no.

Verified reviewThe location, bed and shower are good.
Polite but almost zero support, I needed two supports and they failed on both. In addition to the apartment being exactly as in the photos but much smaller than it appears. But it is comfortable. My suggestion is: only be a guest, if you don't depend on them for ANYTHING.

Verified reviewUpon arrival, the property was exceptionally clean - the hosts have clearly paid a lot of attention to what a guest would need, with lots of amenities included (towels, wifi, etc). The property is very well equipped, with a spacious fridge and freezer, oven, hob, and microwave for those wanting to cook for themselves, and the bedroom had a ensuite complete with a spacious shower, toilet, and a large mirror and sink. The bed was incredibly comfy and spacious, and the whole apartment is air-conditioned, and didn’t receive much noise, leading to very good sleep.

Verified reviewGreat location - perfectly clean, modern, very well set out and comfortable, very private, quiet and simply check in with door code.
The bed was far too soft for me, you sink into a hole created by your body weight, and get stuck in there and moving around is uncomfortable because the hole remains. Also - mosquitos in the room. I kept the windows closed but they were already in there, and I got bitten throughout the night. Bug spray is needed in the room.

Verified reviewGreat location, property very clean and well appointed.
The flat above number 3, for every one of my 4 night stay the occupants came in at around 11:30 pm, and immediately turned their music on above acceptable levels. Along with constantly walking around and banging constantly until approx 4:00am each and every night. Not sure if these are long term residents or perhaps it is being utilised as an Air b&b, either way this was totally unacceptable and made for a very uncomfortable stay in an otherwise very acceptable property. Sadly because of this I would never utilise the property again for one of my many trips to Gibraltar.
