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.).

SwitzerlandOur two rooms were about factor of 2 different in size despite costing the same. They were also some distance apart whereas normally you expect rooms booked together to be adjacent or at least close to each other. The decor is rather old; some renovation is needed to bring this up to modern standards. The breakfast is typical English fare, which means that visitors from Europe might be disappointed (decent coffee would help for example).
A quaint old hotel in which every room is a different shape and size. Large bar/restaurant area with a good selection of food and drink and late opening. Plenty of parking. Central location within walking distance of many restaurants, shops etc.

United KingdomThe only feedback for improvement would be to modernise the guest bedrooms in keeping with the communal areas downstairs. The tiles and feature sink are in keeping with the hotel, it is small things such as curtain upgrades and additional plug sockets that are required. The bedroom was again spotlessly clean and comfortable.
The location for the town centre was perfect, with plenty of large parking spaces available at the on-site car park. The communal areas are very well presented and the whole property was exceptionally clean and tidy. The delicious breakfast options offered a varied selection, were freshly cooked and piping hot. All staff were professional and polite.

United KingdomI loved the grand Victorian hotel but as mentioned in other reviews it could be updated a little. I stayed with my 7 year old and we had a great sleep. The bed was very comfortable and room was nice and warm and very quiet at night. Staff were all very friendly. Breakfast was nice and there was a good variety. I would stay again if ever in Felixstowe again as it was a great location near the town and beach.

United KingdomThe carpet in the Charles Manning Suite was a bit mucky. Could do with either a good clean or replacing. Very important as it is a family room and could have little ones crawling around
Breakfast is a buffet, but was absolutely fantastic. Stayed in the Charles Manning Suite which had perfect space for the family.

United KingdomWindow in our bedroom needs repair. I wasn’t able to open , nearly lost it on to the flat roof below. Meals in the restaurant were limited, too many items were ‘off’. That needs to be better organised as it lets down the front staff who were doing there very best to satisfy customers..
Plenty of space to sit and read or chat. Tea or coffee available to order. Side bar near the restaurant very nice now that has been opened. Breakfast good. Range of food available sufficient to have a very good breakfast
