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 KingdomThe water pressure was really poor, only plug sockets was nr the window on an extension lead and the beds weren't overly great. The pillows were really flat. I also felt the room and ensuite needs abit of a refurb and thorough clean. I don't think I'd stay again - not at £72 per night plus £10 for parking from 6pm Saturday leaving at 11am Sunday
The lady was absolutely lovely, so friendly and helpful

It is a basic room but friendly staff and did the job perfectly for one night :) we paid £8 for parking which is considerably cheaper than the tariff on the roadside due to the location, just make sure you have cash for it

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike, I know it would cost a little more, but if breakfast was included this would go a long way to ensure a longer stay next time we travel to the south coast. Not everyone wants to get up early to start planning where to have breakfast before deciding where we would like to visit on any one day. This being said I would recommend a stay at citadel to my friends.
Central location, easy driving for all locations, Plymouth torbay, (paignton, Torquay, kingsbridge, Salcome. And amazing walks around the south coast)

United KingdomSome of the facilities rather small and awkward, ie wash basin, kettle. Bathroom door wouldn't shut properly, bolt was broken. Didn't realize that the booking was room only. Especially when the signage outside said B&B. That's misleading. I'm not sure how clear that was on the booking info.
Room was clean and comfortable. Lady was very welcoming. Location was good.

United KingdomCouldn't figure out how to keep window open for air, chip in toilet bowl (didn't really bother us, as worked fine, but may bother other guests) water pressure in shower was really low and could do with more plug sockets for those with medical equipment (was enough for my sleep app machine, as unplugged lamp, just incase people have more medical equipment). no breakfast option.
Excellent location, close to town, close to Plymouth hoe, amazing Indian restaurant around the corner, everything within walking distance, friendly staff (cleaner and manageress) both helped with explaining parking, safe location to take the children. We would recommend and return.
