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 KingdomThe room was a little small as was the bathroom but it did have everything we needed. Maybe just a little pricey for that size.
The staff were lovely and it is in a great location! Breakfast was delicious especially the homemade granola, we were excited to have that the following day. Great portions. Out of the way but walkable into the centre. Lovely coffee shops and bakers down the road. Everything was v clean and it was a nice touch to have the room touched up a little whilst were out for the day.

NetherlandsThough there was WiFi listed on the hotel listing, there was no WiFi to speak of during my whole stay. Because the building is older it creaks a lot and if there is noise in neighbouring rooms, you'll hear it very well. There's also a nearby nursery so if you don't fancy being woken by the chatter or crying of excited toddlers at eight in the morning because you're a light sleeper like myself, it might be wise to bring earplugs. The hotel is not wheelchair accessible and might give people using a cane some trouble.
Staff is very friendly and the breakfast is lush, with lots of options. Breakfast is made fresh every morning using locally sourced and homemade ingredients. Some days, tea was already waiting for me at the table once I got down to the breakfast room due to the attentiveness of staff. The bedroom itself was very spacious, with a nice big television and a big plush bed that was very comfortable. On arrival, there was a piece of cake and some fruit waiting to greet me. The building is older, with older wooden floors and narrow stairwells, but that just adds to the character of it. It was really lovely!

FranceThe common entrance passage could do with a good clean, entrance shared with a plant nursery and a crèche. The bedroom and bathroom were really small, and suitable only for one (small) person. It’s the smallness of the room that makes it poorer value for money. Check in worked smoothly and the personal touch was appreciated.
Central location. Old property very nicely renovated with good quality materials and striking contemporary style whilst still respecting the age of the building. Good shower. Comfortable bed and pillows. Generous very well prepared breakfasts. Helpful staff at check in, breakfast and check out.

United KingdomWe booked a small room but I wish the toilet was a bit further from the bed or maybe a better extraction system in the loo.
The property and the room was beautiful, the cooked to order breakfast was very good and the location was excellent for getting into central Norwich. We used Bethel St. carpark on justpark. 3min walk to the hotel.

United KingdomWindow in the bathroom above.
This was a lovely elegant property with loads of character. The breakfasts were excellent and freshly made. The only reason I didn't give it an excellent rating was that, in our room, Boudicca, the window in the bathroom didn't close properly and was difficult to reach. We happened to be there on a very windy night so there was some inevitable rattling. Otherwise the bed was very comfortable and the room spacious.

United KingdomI wasn’t so keen on the breakfast. I stayed here before and remembered it being delicious and it was presented well but the toast was soggy and the sausage didn’t seem very cooked which was off putting. Such a shame as everything else was wonderful.
All the little details and touches in the rooms are just brilliant. The little mini water bottle cooler for the milk, the little brownies (delicious!) and the comfy bedding, perfect lighting.
