How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We had been assured there would be secure bike storage. However this was in a packed bin storage shed. It was difficult to find space for the bikes. In the morning the bikes were covered in unpleasant items of waste and there seemed to be some damage to one of the bikes, potentially caused by moving it or knocking it while moving a bin.
Great value for money. Rooms were quiet and clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was fast and well priced. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

It was certainly clean, just a little bit more attention to the corners & more the difficult bits. Parking a bit tricky but we found that the cathedral has Ringo making it easier
By and large all was very good, room, food & ambience. Nice historical building in the middle of town, good value.

Car park is pay and display, which is free overnight but meant a ticket was required from 8am. Booked through booking.com and even though we paid in full on arrival the hotel 'automatically tried to take payment twice more in the middle of the night and has not responded to my messages about it.
The room was nice. Not in the main building. Actually accessed from a public area outside but felt secure. Nice bathroom and air conditioning. Free tea and coffee and biscuits daily. Obviously a Wetherspoons so good value food and drink. 'Posh' coffee was available with free refills from the bar at breakfast time and the breakfasts were good value and filling. Especially the freedom breakfast. (free range eggs and RSPCA bacon)

Whilst there were no complaints about the bedroom, the location of it wasn't ideal for me as there seemed to be some sort of generator or machinery outside our window in room 5. It didn't disturb my husband, but I am a light sleeper, so it did wake me during the night. I probably should have asked for a quiet room when making the booking
Central location and excellent value. Clean and well presented bedroom and ensuit bathroom. A very comprehensive bar menu with reasonably priced meals and drinks.
