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 KingdomI booked an “executive “ room which was hugely disappointing. It desperately needs a refurb. The bathroom was shabby , the bedroom smelt damp and musty (they’d put an Aldi diffuser in there which was laughable). The bathroom needs an extractor fan and the bedroom needs airing. The pillows and bedlinen were cheap and the mattress was uncomfortable. Either half the price of the room, or bring it up to an acceptable standard.
The staff, bar and restaurant were lovely.

United StatesWeekend was followed by a bank holiday. Restaurant was closed for Sunday, MOnday or Tuesday night. Area restaurants were sparsely open, options were few because of the holiday. Would have been nice to have dinner at the Inn one of the nights.
Staff was great. Paul and Gregory were very helpful and kind. Iggy was newer, but was also very kind.

United KingdomMy room turned out to be in the non refurbished part. Very dated and disappointing bathroom. However the most surprising was a mattress which was too thin/soft and not comfortable which was particularly disappointing for a room that cost £156 for the night.
The refurbished main bar area and restaurant were lovely and very convenient location.

United KingdomOur bathroom was ready for refurbishment but fine and the room was lovely. We weren't aware that dinner was not available on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday evenings but we found other great options.
Amazing staff, central location for our 2 night stay, free parking, comfortable room and relaxing bar and restaurant areas. Refurbished areas and ambiance are lovely, including the outside courtyard area. Nothing was too much trouble for the ever attentive reception, bar and cleaning staff.

United KingdomWe stayed in Grafton (the name of the room) and all night the washing machine was being put on below us. It gave us a very disturbed night’s sleep. Bathroom needs updating.

United KingdomNegatives - ie:- the room had some mold on the ceiling above the bed, not much and probably isn't to much of a problem but paint over it, the bathroom had a plug in the sink that wasn't attached to anything, three pictures on the wall as you walk into the room, one picture frame was cracked and sticking out, the carpet could do with changing in the room, it just needs the little things done.
The hotel itself was lovely but it just needs a little TLC, Positive - The room is massive, the breakfast was lovely, the staff are great, perhaps a little pricey but even after the negatives would probably stay there again.

Helpful staff assisted...thanks No cooked breakfast on Monday morning, had to search for that fact on the booking site, found it in the feedback comments. I would have still booked it, but from Monday/Tuesday instead.. Despite these small comments the Hotel was central, welcoming and made for a fabulous stay. Thank You "team George"
