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 KingdomAccess to hotel facilities limited, bar timing and lights being switched off made experience less welcoming than other hotels.

United KingdomShower screen leaked across the bathroom floor. Extractor from kitchen area was rather noisy. Barking dog each morning from about 5am was annoying, although clearly not directly the fault of the hotel or under their control. Water leak stains on the ceiling were not particularly becoming.
Location was convenient for our needs, room was sizeable and pleasant.

United KingdomIt's only a 3 star hotel, so a little bit lacking in some small things, but perfectly ok for one night. The only thing we didn't like was the weird hot water machine in the room instead of a kettle. But again Eddie came to the rescue and brought us the staff kettle from the kitchen, fair play to him!
The location was lovely, out in the country, quiet and peaceful, yet only a few miles from where we were going. Lovely old building too. But the best thing was the staff, they were friendly and very helpful. Especially Eddie who went out of his way to look after us. He also seemed to be doing everything that night: reception, porter, maintenance, barman, waiter. Then he was doing breakfast too the next morning. He deserves to be made employee of the year! Huge thanks Eddie, you were a star ⭐

Breakfast was ok. Would have preferred more fruit, as fruit salad was on the menu, but not available. Scrambled egg was runny, but everything else was nice.

United KingdomThe lady who checked us in upon our arrival was not particularly welcoming. No smile, no welcome. But as mentioned above - Eddie will make your stay fabulous and the standard of the rooms is extremely good.
Immediately after check in a guy called Eddie appeared, offered to take our bags up, see us to our room. He was the most efficient member of staff I have met, throughout a wide range hotels. Nothing was too much. Later that afternoon he was behind the downstairs bar and was similarly accommodating and super helpful; he even showed up to the pool room where we enjoyed a few rounds before dinner. He booked us a table for dinner and did frequent convivial hospitality checks, as did the other restaurant staff. Next morning, it was Eddie on breakfast duty. Again, nothing was too much and he had a constant smile. This member of staff is an absolute gem and I do hope this feedback reaches him directly.
