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 whole hotel was very hot….this was on a day when it was pretty chilly outside. Our room was too warm and there was no way of controlling it. Stairs up to the bathroom needed care to negotiate in the middle of the night.
We had a lovely big, quiet room with a recently refurbished bathroom. Huge, comfortable bed. Plenty of tea and coffee provided. Mostly friendly staff. No problem storing our bicycles. Good location near to centre of town. Breakfast was fine though some fresh fruit would have been welcome. Fans provided in the room - which we needed overnight even though it was April as the room was very warm.

United KingdomThe rooms were very dated, I did expect something a little more modern but perhaps that's because I'm used to premier inns. My room was a little dusty in areas but overall clean. I would have preferred a way to further secure the room door at night, perhaps a chain or additional lock as you just close the door and hope it's locked from the outside.
Great location. The staff in the pub/restaurant were very pleasant and helpful . Food was nice.

United KingdomThe radiator in the room did not work but the one in the bathroom worked ok. We only realised this when we got home from our night out so the room was quite cold. We decided not to call Reception as it was around midnight and just wanted to get to bed. We mentioned it to the Receptionist the following morning so they could do something before the next guest arrived. However the Receptionist was quite brusque and told us we should have called them the night before. I had already explained that it we weren't "complaining" but just letting them know.
Room was good, bed was comfortable and bathroom was really nice. It was all very clean and there was plenty of room. Tea and coffee with biscuits was also provided.

United KingdomThe hotel is in need of redecorating and general update. Rooms are clean and have everything you need just looking tired and old fashioned. We had the two family rooms which were right at the top of the hotel with lots of stairs to go up. The bathroom didn’t smell very nice but we paid a very reasonable rate and it did the job for a couple of nights.
We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel. Location was very good very central to the shops, restaurants and market.

United KingdomBed was very hard. A bathtub, but no option to use taps, just the shower over, which was difficult to get an even temperature on, but honestly that's the risk you take with any hotel - it's not going to be your home, so things aren't going to be exactly as you'd like them. It would have been helpful if there'd been an indication either on Booking.com, or at check-in, that you had to reserve a table in the restaurant in the evenings (ended up getting dinner from Asda, which had a good selection at great prices! Lol)
Very large room with Smart TV, good range of options for breakfast (I went with the avocado stack, which tasted fresh)

United KingdomThe only problem with our stay was the bathroom, although the bathroom was clean the shower was not fit for use. The showerhead could not be put upright making it difficult to have a shower satisfactorily. For some bizarre reason a box of soap had been placed at the back of the showerhead, also a plastic disposable knife was wedged in the showerhead fitting, no doubt to try and make the showerhead stay upright, however this did not work. We had a 2 night stay, complained about the showerhead but nothing was done. This is our only complaint about the hotel.
The beds were comfortable. The room was clean and plenty of room. Breakfast was good, also the evening meal. Gillian, waitress at breakfast was friendly and helpful. The receptionist, Anne was also friendly and helpful.
