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 KingdomShower was difficult to use and came out too hard. Quality of vegan meal for dinner was over-flavoured and not enjoyable for the price, but the decoration was very nice and staff were lovely.
Excellent staff. Great breakfast, room was clean and nice enough but they are in the process of refurbishment and think these rooms are later on the list to do. We were happy though with the overall quality. the interior of the building matches it's name - Grand! Very pretty balustrades.

United KingdomWe left some items behind when we packed up to leave. I emailed the hotel when we got back home and realised our error. There was no reply after a few days so I sent another message, this time using the chat feature on their website. I received a completely inappropriate response from them later that day and I am still unsure whether I will be able to get my items back.
Beautiful hotel with a stunning interior, the rooms were big and comfortable, the facilities worked well.

United KingdomIt was a shame our room was so dark and literally had a view of a wall. I know we couldn't afford the sea view room but perhaps this should have been pointed out on booking as I'm sure there were rooms that had some light into them on the other side of the corridor.
The room was lovely, very comfy bed! The breakfast was beautiful and the breakfast dining room really had the wow factor!

IrelandAs a superior room, I would expect a better view as opposed to a view of buildings. The uniform pants of the concierge are deplorable. They look as if there were entering Picidilly Circus. The bathroom could do with an overhaul look. It was very dull, plain, simple with no luxury. There was a lot of empty space there.
The heart of the hotel was very convenient and central to all visiting sites, shops, and restaurants. The breakfast was so delicious that there was something to suit everyone with their large varieties.
