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.).

GreeceThe Service of the Employees was not as good as we expected for such a hotel (f.e. the Breakfast buffet is split up into different room, coffee and hot water were offen out).
The Building, the Furniture and the Surrounding are very good.

United StatesRoom and bath were fairly unremarkable which, though perfectly comfortable, were a little disappointing relative to the rest of the bed and breakfast itself. The art above the bed looked a bit like it was purchased in bulk from generichotelart.com. Large bathroom but limited space to place any thing. All relatively minor things, but makes it such that we cannot give it a 10/10.
Beautiful bed and breakfast in a beautiful part of Kingston. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast area is lovely as well. Good value relative to some of the surrounding accommodations.

AustraliaCharming historic building, with excellent service. Comfortable beds and breakfast was provided. The room and bathroom were clean, with everything we needed for an overnight stop. They are compact in size, and as an older building, you can hear the movement of other guests. It wasn't a problem for us, to be expected. We would stay there again!

United StatesThe staff was friendly when conducting business. However, having just left Montreal where hospitality staff were super friendly, we saw this place as rather cold. For example, when we were leaving, a "good-bye" or "I hope you enjoyed your visit" - some kind of acknowledgement was in order. I suggest that your staff wear name badges, at least those who come in contact with the public.The dining room was sterile and bare- flowers would have been nice.
Breakfast. The tray of meat was in front of other items causing people to stand over it. This seems unsanitary to me. I would not touch the meat and cheese. There was not much dry cereal. We had to ask for a bowl for cereal. There was sufficient variety. Croissant and yogurt were excellent. There should be a sign directing us to the coffee station in the hall and instructions as to how to clean up, if required.

United StatesThe breakfast was great on the first day I was there, but it did not seem fresh anymore after a couple days. I would have liked to have more variety. Also the room was very cold and the space heater did not do much to help.
The room was so spacious and bed was very comfortable. The aesthetic was very charming.

UkraineOverall, everything was good!
The hotel is an old, typical for the region building, and this is what impressed us most - it was also decorated for Christmas, which even made a better impression. The staircases, the lounge, everything preserves a magical vibe. The stuff was helpful, the room was cozy, clean, though a bit shabby. But taking into account the vibe, and the price - it’s ok.
