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.).

Isle of ManCurb appeal, initially felt uncomfortable but when I was inside felt ok. Not the easiest to find, especially from taxi Need larger cups for hot drinks and more of them ( drinks) Also a pack of disposable cutlery would be very useful as I had real difficulty eating the meal I bought I appreciate breakfast was free but was only available for one morning, maybe not enough guests stayed
Room was fine, clean and warm Close to where my appointments were, within walking distance Good value for money

United KingdomThe bed and floor in the attic is CREAKY. Not for a tall person. Was walking on normal phase until a loud banging on the ground coming from the lower floor, so have to be like walking on an egg shell making it uncomfortable walking like on a tiptoe. For the free dinner, I followed the instruction of contacting them before 3pm for a reservation but such a dissapointment coming back expecting a meal just to find out that no one is there(locked), no food, can't reach them on the phone for some reason and I ended up buying food somewhere. This free dinner and breakfast is one of the price consideration I took when comparing it with other comparable places nearby.
The location is great to be fair. The room and toilet is clean and provided a kettle and basic toiletries. Floor is carpeted. Free breakfast is ok.

United KingdomThe venue offers free dinner if you book by 17:30hrs but didn't send that information to me until 20:00hrs on the night of the stay so unable to book it. Breakfast is only served between 08:00hrs and 09:00 hrs so if your working that is far too late Not suitable for someone who has to be in work early. Getting the key out of the lockup box very difficult when it's dark. No signage outside it was just a house frontage. What was advertised on Booking .com was quite deceiving
It was mediocre

United KingdomDinner was included, but impossible to get. I received a message to arrange a time for dinner (between 5pm and 6.30pm) by phoning the hotel before 2pm. However, the message was sent after 2pm and there was no response to either calls or texts. On arrival at the hotel at 6pm, the dining room was locked, so I had to go out for dinner. Another guest I met at breakfast had exactly the same problem. I suggest the hotel either makes dinner available more easily or doesn't offer it, so other arrangements can be made

United KingdomThe property is a house share with very small rooms the beds are not double there small double we was on the top floor and still every time the front door opened we was woken all through till about 5.30am was the time when people finally stopped slamming the doors. The other guests kept leaving the main door unlocked. When we got into bed after a very long day all at the top of the bed was someone else’s hair and fag burns! The wall near the radiation was damp and smelt like drains

United KingdomI was sent a message stating any issues call or text ‘Karen’. I could not get the tv to come on and despite repeated texts and calls no one got back to me. No kettle in the room. Better not to have the very average breakfast and install a kettle in the rooms in my opinion.
It was cosy clean and well located. Entrance instructions clear. Room small but not overly so. Bathroom good. WiFi worked well.

United KingdomEasy access into the room but when we walked in it absolutely stank of weed, as if someone had been smoking it or storing it in the room itself. Me and my partner didn’t mind this at first but it did end up making our clothes smell and despite opening the window it still lingered. Apart from that the room and amenities for such a low cost was perfect, you basically get what you pay for and we had no other qualms whatsoever.
For the price of the room we didn’t think it was at all that bad, it is more like a shared house and noise from other guests is to be expected. Good location near to local shops and the hospital where I needed to go. Found the bed very comfy and the sheets were soft. The bathroom was lovely and had a heated towel rail. The room also had a working heater, a wardrobe, a desk and a large tv. Me and my partner found this perfect for what we needed it for.

United StatesThere was frequently a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the room - I don't know whether this was from outside or another guest in the hotel. The room looked out onto a busy main road and was right next to the front door, so it was very noisy.
The room was freshly renovated and it was great to have an ensuite bathroom at this price. The location of the hotel was very convenient for my needs. There is a nice river walk nearby for running in the morning.
