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 KingdomIn our room the paint was peeling off the walls and the disabled alarm next to our room was going off all night and no one turned it off. I was also upset about no bacon for breakfast and the lack of choice for eggs
Everything looked nice and breakfast was okay

United KingdomLocation is OK, but access to the hotel is terrible (I.e. cars cannot get to the front door. Taxis have to drop you off around the side of the hotel and collect in a similar place). Small rooms mean that the Bed is only accessible from side, very inconvenient. TV placement is terrible too.
Room was clean with decent facilities. Shower was very good. General atmosphere was nice in the hotel and the bar was good.

United KingdomThe "reception" area is a laptop on what is essentially a bookcase, and this was quite confusing when I arrived and couldn't see any members of staff as they were busy elsewhere.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the hotel! It was clean, comfortable, and quiet, and I was able to get a very nice piece of carrot cake from the bar area downstairs at 11pm. I would absolutely stay there again.

IrelandLack of nearby parking.
The room was warm, clean and quiet if a little on the small side. The lack of nearby parking facilities was not very good but the staff were very helpful in telling us where to park and explaining the discount system. The food was very good and the sitting/bar area very comfortable but the best thing of all were the staff. They were extremely friendly and helpful at all times and made our stay so much more enjoyable! Thank you to them!

United KingdomThe front staff acted very odd. When we asked whether we could leave our bags first before checking in, they told us that if we leave a good review on TripAdvisor when we could check in early instead. There wasn't any explanation as to why we could do this so it just seemed like we were being used to boost their performance review...
Clean enough. Lobby and restaurant area was nice.

United Arab EmiratesAlthough we used two Satnav, car and Google maps, we struggled to find the actual hotel, even calling the hotel the directions were unclear! Hotel sign needs to be more clear from the road or a sign at the rear of building would help
Once we got there and parked the car up at the recommended car park we were fine! Although the bar has limited stock options, it was a nice place to wind down end of the day

United KingdomIt's not the hotels fault, but parking is about a ten minute walk from the hotel. The fire alarm went off on the night we were staying. The green light on the ceiling is annoying as it lights the room up, great as a night light, though. One member of staff on the morning for breakfast seemed to be very frazzled
I liked the room, no frills but still clean, modern and had tea coffee in room. The bed was comfortable. I loved the long window in the room. The shower was good and clean. The lobby was very welcoming, and although we only had breakfast there, it seemed to have a good feel and prices reasonable. Breakfast was basic but good for the price. Sausage, scrambled eggs,hard-boiled eggs, beans, toast, pastries ,cereals, and hams and cheeses. The hotel is dog friendly, which was a big advantage for us, and the staff were lovely with them.
