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 KingdomUnfortunately I didn't like the decor in the lounge going through to the dining room, it was a heavy navy wallpaper and I didn't feel comfortable sitting and relaxing there. A small thing in an otherwise lovely place
The food was really good, the ambience was good, the staff were friendly and professional

United KingdomEverything was perfect except I did feel the English breakfast could have been a more generous portion as set out above
It was a very relaxing location and all the staff were very welcoming. I had a full English breakfast which was delicious. I did however feel that the breakfast should have had more than one mushroom with it

United Arab EmiratesWas a little pricey, especially food outside of B&B. Some of the bedrooms showers didn't work when opposite room was also in use...but it was an old building with lots of character.
Lovely old property with lots of character. Cozy, lovely little bar and nice breakfast.

United KingdomTo be honest there was nothing we didn't like. Everything was handled very professionally and we were made to feel extremely welcome right from the outset. Nothing was too much trouble.
The owners clearly aim to provide and maintain the highest standards in all areas - from cleanliness to service levels, and from environmental concerns to high quality food and accommodation. We were very impressed indeed, and we have stayed in hundreds of hotels in our lifetime. We should also mention how friendly, helpful and approachable the owners were and this carried through to all the staff we encountered. We felt very at home here.

Hong KongAbsolutely no complaint at all!
The room is spacious and spotlessly clean with lovely country style decor. The garden is well-kept. All staff including feline crew “Neptune” are helpful, friendly and attentive. Breakfast is made to order with fresh ingredients. There are enough choices in the dinner menu - meat, poultry, fish and vegetarian. I appreciate the hotel’s effort in using local produce.
