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 KingdomOur bathroom had a bath with a shower attachment. Had to sit in bath to get a shower so not ideal. Our friends shower was only a trickle. My mother in law stayed here years ago and complained about the bathroom then. Maybe it's time to sort the bathrooms out.

United KingdomI would not say I didn’t like anything! It was slightly annoying to find that the shower had to be held which was a slight inconvenience and every time my partner rolled over in bed it squeaked and woke me up! My friends in other rooms slept well however!
Staff were fantastic! There was one member in particular whose name I did not catch. We arrived at the hotel early as we had a wedding and he was so accommodating! Got us in our rooms slightly earlier than he was meant to so we could get ready in comfort. Breakfast was lovely too!

United KingdomOur room was on the ground floor, now I know it's an old building, but we could hear all guests going upstairs to their rooms as the floor boards were very creeky, the room directly above us was exceptionaly creeky and the occupants were up every hour during the night to go toilet, we could hear everything even their snoring which kept us awake all night unfortunately. The room are very clean but could do with a bit of care and updating, the bathroom was very dated, the shower screen was very dirty underneath and a lot of repair cement was exposed, shower dial was ill fitting, and generally old and tired.
Lovely old quirky hotel, decor of the bar area is fabulous and comfortable, staff very helpful and friendly, dog friendly which is great 😃 Lovely big room and big bed, central location to some lovely little shops, bars and park. Oh wow!!! Breakfast is just AMAZING, a must have

United KingdomI would advise anyone not to stay in the superior room at the front of the hotel on a Friday night. They start setting up the market right below the window at 5:30am. Not cool. Also the shower is the worst shower I think I've ever had. It doesn't shower you, it basically just leaks on you.
Lovely room and great location

United KingdomBathroom needed some attention- shower had very poor pressure, toilet took three flushes each time and one of the taps had a piece missing. A little milk jug on the breakfast table would be better than having to keep getting up for milk for coffee and tea.
