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 KingdomAlthough the Hotel Reception and eating/bar area and room were of a modern design, the general use toilets were dated and needed a refresh, they smelt old and reminded me of a pub loo. The spa was also dated, the tiles looked dirty and the changing rooms were very dated and reminded me of a leisure centre, not a hotel.
Room size was great, very big and spacious. Bathroom was a great size too. Gym was very good, better than most hotel gyms and pool was good. Breakfast that was included was decent, and staff were very attentive. Spa, although dated and needs a remodel/refresh, was a decent price for a couple staying 2 nights, although cannot comment on treatments.

United KingdomWe'd arrived for a spa and overnight stay, but my daughter wasn't able to use the spa as she was 6 months off her 18th birthday. The manager apologised and gave us money off the room charge. The hotel itself is nice and clean but a bit miss match. Staff were friendly. We were in a family room on the second floor, which had no lift. So make sure you ask for the ground floor if needed. We used the main pool. But once it got to 330pm, they had a lane roped off for young kids' lessons. So we left because of the noise. We would have used the spa if we'd known it was over 18s. We weren't told this when booking, so we were quite upset it ruined our girlie night away.
Staff helpful and friendly, food nice. Drinks and bar and restaurant clean and nice.

United KingdomWe love coming here because of the location and the Spa. Very short walk to the beach if you like walking and a fairly quiet hotel. All lovely except the breakfast is overpriced via booking.com. It’s only a breakfast buffet, not great for more than £15. Less than £10 would be ok but overall not tempting.
It’s a great location and the Spa is quite good too. Very relaxing. The bar is relaxing and the rooms are nice.
