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.).

Bathroom not in a great state… Very simple and if you looking for a bed for the night perfect… staff helpful… breakfast standard… room defo needed a lick of paint… that would be an understatement if I’m honest… thread bear carpets.

United KingdomStaff were was knocking our door a few minutes after 11am to check out. Few of the electrical sockets did not work. Our shower curtain rail was being supported by a chain from the ceiling., the shower dial wae faulty and was stuck on a very hot temperature. The breakfast was a of a small portion..The dining area and reception are is bland and gave off a cold atmosphere. Seemed as if the hotel is slowly being refurbished.

United KingdomIt is not that we didn't like. We knew that it is new management and it is work in progress. But they will need to get better organised to improve the quality quickly, otherwise the customers will soon stop coming.
Friendly staff, comfortable bed, efficient heating, tasty full breakfast.

United KingdomThe decor needs refreshing and carpeting replacing in the main areas. Tho the hotel is under new management I would like to think that this will be addressed in the future. There was scaffolding at the front of the hotel up to the roof and two huge skips in the car park, full of furniture and building related rubbish. So they are clearly already doing some refurbishing of the hotel.
Initially the room I booked was a double but the bathroom was to small as I am disabled and need a little more room. I informed the front desk and they only had a double room available. This was a lovely room four post bed a large bathroom. Egyptian cotton bedding and fluffy towels. Poor internet though. Water pressure was great although cold water was slightly less than normal. Lovely old building with stained glass windows and lovely staircase. Breakfast was full English initially I thought it was smaller than normal, but it was more than adequate and set me up for the day. I was informed that the hotel was under new management. My only concern was that the hotel could benefit from a complete overhaul in decoration and carpets as these are looking very tiered in most areas. Broken glass in window and thread bare carpet on stairs. These things by no means detract from the overall stay but am swear that some people might find this an issue. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again if I am in the area.

Nice location and parking. Staff were friendly. Easy check in. (But not very English speaking) Room was clean. Toiletries n tea, coffee in room. Good size TV.

United KingdomThere were no curtains or blinds on bathroom windows, the windows were partly frosted but not good enough. There were no curtains on bedroom windows, and although there were blinds, they were not good enough and let in light at the edges. Very thin walls, could hear everything going on in the room next door(!) There was no way of using the overbed lights. The step between bathroom and bedroom was dangerous at night, the edge should have a contrast strip. Bar and restaurant facilities were very limited (possibly due to building work going on at the time). I had paid for breakfast, but although it had said available from 7, it was not available until 7.30 which was too late for my needs. For the price I paid I could have stayed in a motel with better facilities.
It was OK,

United KingdomThe room hadn't been dusted in a while. There was a big crack in the basin and one couple woke us up at 2am having a blazing row that sounded like they were coming through the ceiling with all the banging.
It was very basic but for the cheap price it's what you would expect.

United KingdomThe room we had was in need of further renovation, considering that the hotel was meant to have undergone a renovation after being closed for a good time. (Painting and other works were being carried out while we were there) We also had a 1st night from hell with drunk abusive clientele. The staff at the hotel did not handle the situation well as the caos continued all night, and we were unable to sleep and felt quite threatened. Police finally came in the morning.
Situated in a good location for the town.
