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 KingdomThere was no breakfast option. But the cafe directly below the accommodation served great breakfasts. However they are not open on Monday and Tuesday so we could only have one breakfast there as we were staying until Monday.

United KingdomThe only thing we missed was probably a bicycle rack right at the accommodation. There is one close by on Artisan Square, though.
Wonderful views, comfortable bed (and sofa bed), spacious room, helpful communication when we had a question, nice touches throughout. Nice food in the Café. We loved our stay, even though it was for one night only. Fantastic location for exploring the island. Check in was easy.

CanadaThe suite was bright, huge, and beautifully decorated with great lighting. The chairs, sofa, and bed were extremely comfortable. The bathroom had a rain shower and deep tub for soaking, and the amenities (shampoo, hand wash, and lotion) were artisanal and exquisite! Filtered water, a Nespresso machine, and milk for coffee were provided, as were locally made chocolates on our pillows. We enjoyed having wine on our balcony overlooking the square and we also loved that the only thing you could watch on TV was Netflix—it made it more relaxing not to have cable. Parking and check in were great. We highly recommend this lovely place and will return.

GermanyWhen the restaurant downstairs is open, you could hear a quite loud grumbling sound from probably air conditioning in our room (parkview), no problem at all if you are an early bird and leave the room during the day, but if you want to sleep in (longer than 8.30am) we would recommend to choose another room there.
Very beautiful cozy place! The bed was super comfy and the little cul de sac is so cute and perfekt to stroll around. Very clean and nice touches with local soap in the bathroom and local chocolate on the bed.

SpainMy sister and I stayed here for a few days. We loved that it felt like we were in a little artsy village within walking distance from Snug Cove. The beds were very comfy, with lovely linens. A real feature was that the botanical luxury shampoos, conditioner, soap and lotion we used were all made a few steps away at Sangre De Fruta shop. We also loved the Artisan Eats café place right downstairs that served up delicious breakfasts, baking and sandwiches to take with us on our explorations of this delightful island.
