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 KingdomNothing was lovely looking forward to our next visit.
Staff were super friendly, breakfast was lovely and there was a bus stop just outside the door to go into Portsmouth central. If you just fancy a takeaway or the wether is nice to sit on the pier would highly recommend The Old Pier Hut great food and value for money

United KingdomI can’t fault the staff at this hotel, they were all exceedingly friendly, polite and helpful. Whilst the room was good, I don’t consider it matched the price paid. Whilst it was well equipped it was nevertheless rather oddly shaped and therefore, didn’t impress. That said, I did have a comfortable stay.

United KingdomAdditionally, attention to detail during breakfast could be enhanced by upgrading the cutlery from Amazon Basic, replacing the Ikea glasses with more elegant options, ensuring that the bowls match, and serving breakfast with higher-quality ingredients than Chef's Essential. By making these slight improvements, the G Boutique Hotel can elevate its overall image and provide an even more exceptional experience for its guests.
The G Boutique Hotel is a charming establishment that aspires to be a true Boutique Hotel, and it is well on its way to achieving that goal. Nestled in a residential location, this delightful B&B offers a tranquil retreat for its guests away from the hustle of Portsmouth. The reception area exudes a boutique ambiance, creating a welcoming atmosphere upon arrival. However, the bedroom's only distinguishing feature is the tassel curtains, which sets it apart from a standard B&B room, but falls short of the hotel's desired image.

United KingdomThe curtains didn't block out a lot of light so I was woken up quite early in the morning, the toilet paper was scented which I personally can be sensitive to so prefer to use normal toilet paper.
Very comfortable bed, the jacuzzi bath was great and I opted for the celebration package which was lovely and great value. The location was great, very close to lots of bars and restaurants. And it wasn't too difficult to find parking with the permit.

United KingdomThe shower wasn't the best ( water pressure wasnt great) but we had a hot tube so wasn't that much of a problem really.
The room was decorated with petals, chocolates and bubbly (paid extra as it was my wife's birthday) and having a two person hot tub in your room was just brilliant, breakfast was included and was very nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful will be using again on our next trip down, lots of restaurants near by 5 minutes drive or 15/20 minutes walk, beach is 5 minutes away witht he canoelake which is all light up at night worth a little walk down, the pier is OK but very old and run down if you go further down the coast you will see Clarence pier, which is alot of fun.

United KingdomReally can't find anything negative about this hotel.
On arrival I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and bright the hotel was. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable making my stay much more enjoyable. The room was very spacious as was the bathroom and exceptionally clean. Very comfy bed, crisp bedlinen, plenty of toiletries and tea/coffee. Breakfast was very nice and a wonderful selection ranging from fresh fruit, cereals to full English breakfast with a tasty vegetarian option. The hotel is in a great location with a nice park and the esplanade on the doorstep. Also plenty of eateries within walking distance. I will certainly be re-booking and recommend this hotel.
