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 KingdomIt's under renovation so just bear that in mind.
The place is obviously under renovation but the rooms were still clean and tidy, the bar was open and the continental breakfast was great. It's basic but that's the price you are paying so it was exactly what we paid for :) Staff were outstanding, very friendly and kind.

United KingdomThe quality of the room.
Staff was pleasant and welcoming. Their service was really good but the quality if the property is not value for the money. The tap was leaking and the tub is not in a usable condition. Thus I rate 4 out of 10.

United KingdomI had to ask for a plug in the sink at reception & plug was to big. But I thanked the Man Gentleman Reception Person polite & friendly. The room didn't have a bin. The had hot 🔥 water 💧 when it was time for me to leave.
I like the view out of the the. I also like the staff. I also like the Cleaner Romanian Woman Lady. I also like the picture in the room, the window in the hotels. I like the breakfast. Maybe if they change some extra money, could have some extra vegetarian & Vegan options please. Thank you I thought the the hotel room & hotel was ok for £40. Maybe The Government could/should do more to help small & medium companies.

United KingdomThe stairs were really quite scary to use- felt like I'll fall any moment. Also the whole building had an awful dusty smell. In terms of our room- I now regret not sleeping in the car.. The bathroom floor was sticky, no warm water on the tap, hair on the bed and the worst isolation I've ever seen! Felt like the windows were open the whole night as you could feel the breeze while laying in bed. Also had a jump scare because some people were checking in in the middle of the night and the woman started yelling because the reception gave her the wrong key- keep in mind that her door was literally a span away from mine and it sounded like she was trying to break in. Worst hotel experience ever, I only gave a star because of the staff. It's a cheap place to stay but I would never go back again.
The staff was nice and the location is good too. There's a small parking lot behind the hotel which I wouldn't recommend using unless there aren't any spaces on the main road out front.

United KingdomThe only thing that I wasn't happy with was that you can hear all your neighbours, I could hear people snoring through the walls.
Staff made the place what it is, everyone was friendly, it's close to the beach and train station and a local supermarket. The bed was comfy.

United KingdomOverall, my stay at Carlton hotel was pleasant. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, Newly refurbished rooms were modern and inviting witha refreshing sea view from the window and the check-in process was smooth. The room was very clean and comfortable with good bedding , providing all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Breakfast were more satisfied in my stay. The location was convenient just perfect for a walk around the city centre with easy access to nearby attractions and transportation options.Additionally,the free carpark was incredibly convenient I highly recommend seeking a delightful stay at Carlton hotel again in the future. Thank You!

United Kingdom"I booked a room at Carlton hotel with modest expectations due to its budget-friendly rates compared to others in the area. However, from the moment I stepped inside the hotel had great welcoming from staff …The level of comfort, cleanliness, and attention to detail exceeded anything I could have imagined. Newly renovated hotel. It was an experience that truly redefined.I highly recommend Carlton Hotel to anyone seeking unparalleled value without compromising on quality." they have a free parking which is great.
