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 KingdomI'm not the type who complains, I just wanted a bed to sleep on for the night. But £70 for a cramped room with a shared bathroom is a little excessive to me. But what do I know? I'm not a big traveller.
Very accessible and safe place, a far cry from what I'm used to back home. They had my keys just sitting at an unmanned desk, which I was taken back by. But after spending the night here, I understood how safe a town it is.

United KingdomComplete absence of humans except for man serving breakfast. Staircase could do with a vacuuming! I guess parking might be tricky for car owners.
Delightful room. I loved the armchairs in the bay window. Bed very comfortable andnice tea/coffee tray. Shame en suite not available but no hassle for the bathrooms. Breakfast great! Location just right - 100 yards to sea front in one direction and a cheerful student-y bar 50 yards in the other. 15 mins walk to train and bus stations.

AustraliaLots of stairs! , was an old style property, but they have made an effort to decorate nicely, and was generally quiet and comfortable. There was also no specific parking, but generally I could get a space close by on the street.

United KingdomNot a criticism of the guest house itself but the stairs up to the top floor proved a challenge for my husband with his arthritic knees.
The location was perfect. Very close to the seafront and we were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves on the shore. The town was within easy walking distance, which was great as my husband has walking difficulties. The breakfast was lovely and the staff we came into contact with were very friendly and helpful. Aberystwyth is a lovely seaside town with plenty to do and see. We took a trip on the Rheidol Heritage Railway and can thoroughly recommend it.

United KingdomAlthough we booked well in advance for the Bank Holiday i.e. more than 6 months ago, there were still no rooms left with ensuite facilities and there were quite a few steps up and down to the bathroom, Fine normally but when you have a bad knee it was abit of a struggle. It won't stop us coming back though but I will make sure that we have ensuite next time.
We have stayed here before and can't fault the staff, welcome, cleanliness and the excellent breakfast

United KingdomThe en-suite bathroom was very dated and it would be better if there was a proper shower over the bath or remove bath and fit a shower cubicle as small. Also, as mentioned by other reviewers, hooks on the bathroom door to hang clothes would be useful.
Location was great, close to sea front and parking outside the property was no problem. The family room was ideal on top floor for myself and two teenage girls and was clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were very good and the staff were helpful and friendly.

GermanyI did not expect for no one to be at the reception for the entirety of my stay and that it was self-check-in. It worked well, but asking a quick question etc was not possible. To have a room with shared bathrooms was okay but the price could be cheaper because of that.
I had a cozy and clean room and the city centre is very close by.
