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 room was at the top of a lot of stairs, request a lower room if you have mobility issues.
Mariea was a great hostess. The English cooked breakfast was just right quantity and cooked to order. Generous with fresh coffee too. Other options for breakfast were available but we didn’t try them. Our room had a beautiful view of the sea and promenade. It was a generous family sized room with a small en suite, with shower . Lots of radiators for chillier stays. Fridge and kettle were available to use in the room. Location for seaside was amazing for both families and dogs.

United KingdomI’m sorry to say this is not the cleanest of BnBs , room 2 which we were in was on the ground floor backing onto the breakfast room ,no chance of having a lie in when you can here everyone and everything going on ,in our bathroom there was mould on the ceiling and I’m sorry but when the sheet rolled back off the mattress this morning OMG 😦 scary this definitely needs to be replaced we do have pictures showing to back our comments up but at this stage we won’t be posting them ,these will be shown to booking.com directly giving the owner chance to rectify these issues

United KingdomIt was just a bit cold in the room. I sympathise, heating costs are horrendous and the big windows facing the sea and the wind must make it harder to heat (while giving a lovely view). It was cold when we arrived at teatime but cosy in the evening, but we would really have liked a bit of heating while getting ready for breakfast!
Mariea is lovely, really friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome. Also her breakfast choice was great and her American pancakes delicious!

United KingdomThe sheet on the bed in room 1 wasn’t big enough to cover the bed and left the mattress visible The doors to the dining room and kitchen were left open for breakfast service which meant you could smell cooking while eating your breakfast
Good location for going to the theatre

United KingdomNot so much a gripe - guest house is very well situated for Spanish City area and the few shops / arcades near there, the Playhouse and of course the beach/sea. BUT, it's a lot further away from the town centre - not too much, but just something to be aware of! And if you can, get there for a free parking place just round the corner! Trying to park in the car park nearest the guest house was a nightmare due to faulty software on the firms part... I eventually gave up and circled around again until a free space turned up...
Went for the upgraded room on the ground floor... so no stairs for me!! Room was big, airy and above all CLEAN! Bed comfy and big enough for me (I'm 6' 4"") Nice size TV that (would have) synched with my phone / apps - but didn't need to use it - and a mini fridge in our room as well!! The breakfast the next morning was tremendous - made to order full English!
