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.).

Nothing, was great for what it was
Location was perfect, easy walk to the airport in the morning for my flight, breakfast okay and was available super early which was great for catching an early flight. Room clean and comfy and the television has all the usual channels etc. No dinner in the hotel but the Holiday Inn across the road has a great restaurant!

Drinks vending machine payment.... maybe because myself & a good deal of other people unfamiliar with this type. It left you feeling uncertain that you were going to be reimbursed down payment of £5 when only wanting a bottle of water.
Exceptional value.... comfortable, helpful friendly staff. Location easy to walk or taxi £13 to T1.

Some people with a lot of large luggage might struggle in the restricted space of the room. We travel light so were fine.
Very quiet in spite of being on the airport site. Fantastic soundproofing. Comfortable beds and good bathroom. Decent breakfast, helpful staff.

There wasn’t a hairdryer in the room but I think it may be possible to request one at the reception desk. There isn’t a restaurant for full meals.
The hotel was an easy walk from the station and an easy walk to the terminal the following morning (about 15 minutes to Terminal 1). The check-in staff were friendly. The room had no frills but had everything needed for an overnight stay. It was clean and comfortable. The blind blacked out the light effectively, The air conditioning kept the room at a pleasant temperature. There was no airport noise despite being so close by. There is a snack machine providing sandwiches etc. Tea and coffee can be brought from a servery, located beside some tables and chairs. Breakfast is available from 5.00am but as I was able to order a ‘grab and go bag’, which I collected when checking out. I’d be happy to stay here again if I needed an overnight stay at the airport.

Walked there from the station - a bit of a weird route dodgy through roundabouts and past the arse end of the airport - even with the skylink it was disjointed. Felt like it was a private room with hostel/ trendy prison vibes. Tiny room - felt overpriced. Double bed against a wall - great for a single person but not ideal for a couple. Weird wood/concrete effect plastic panelling in room - why fake two contradictory things? Tiny shelves didn’t work as bed side tables (luckily an upside down bin sufficed.) the giant bright orange triangles/ arrows on the wall didn’t create the calming sleep vibe I’d have gone for if I was designing an airport hotel room. And why jet lagged, exhausted people need to be further disorientated by the bike racks on the ceiling I don’t know. Staff were lovely, hotel clean, comfortable, and the soap smelt nice. (The room still smelled of new flooring.) Quiet room. I booked in advance and paid £15 more than if I’d just showed up. Single use cups and teaspoon not ideal.
