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 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):
- 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.).

A little disappointed that our friends received a voucher for drinks in the hotel bar and we didn’t. Perhaps because they booked direct?

No problems.
Really charming hotel with a lot of character, yet quite comfortable. Nice bar/restaurant, very good breakfast buffet (though perhaps a little pricey). Pretty neighborhood, within walking distance of train station, bus depot, market square, arcade shopping, museums, etc. etc. Appreciated that staff spoke English and were very helpful.

The hotel was a bit strict regarding schedules, even though we had a health situation that required us to visit the nearby hospital (we had to negotiate extensively to leave the car in the parking lot until 2:00 PM to have time to attend a medical appointment). So, the human touch is not the hotel's strong suit. If we do return, I hope we won't need any favors.
Well-located hotel with excellent facilities. The beauty of the hotel catches the eye. Truly very beautiful!!! The breakfast was excellent. We may return. ..

Breakfast seemed expensive- we went to a local cafe.
Freshly renovated, bright and clean. Room was spacious and sound-proofed. Super shower area. Our room overlooked a lovely busy little square with a couple of restaurants and bars. Few minutes walk from the harbour.

We did have a quick evening risotto on the 1st eve which unfortunately was a microwave meal and expensive. I think the kitchen was closed that night.
Recently refurbished, lovely rooms and shower, coffee and tea facilities in room, can mirror to Netflix on tv, lovely breakfast, mix of hot and continental. Location is perfect, quiet street couple of min walk to the harbour. Lovely conservatory to eat in or just sit with a drink. Can also sit outside the hotel. We booked this for the secure bookable parking. Excellent service and would highly recommend

The first evening on my own ,I decided to eat in the hotel. I chose from the formula soup and fish., which was served in a glass jar.The latter was a mush,really overcooked and tiny pieces of fish among the vegetables. I just couldn't eat it and explained to a member of staff and asked if I could have some cheese instead. A big platter of cheese was then far too much for one person so I left a lot of it. At the end of my stay I paid the bill and was subsequently given an itemised one. I then saw that I had been charged for the uneaten main course that I had complained about, which I do not think I should have been. Sorry I felt I had to mention this because otherwise I loved the hotel and would definitely stay there again
Fantastic location ,close to everything but peaceful.Well equipped rooms with nice bathroom and very comfortable bed with sheets changed daily, and a decent hairdryer in room.Friendly and helpful staff

We upgraded our room on special offer to one of the new rooms in the separate building and our only complaint was that our tv didn’t seem to work properly … but hey there’s far better things to look at in the neighbourhood.
Lovely hotel in a quiet little square really close to the old port / town with nice restaurants close by. Friendly, attentive staff and excellent pre-booked secure parking onsite for folks like us on a driving tour.
