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 KingdomThere was a lack of storage space in the bedrooms - only one room had a wardrobe but no drawers, the others had drawers but nowhere to hang clothes. The stairs to the top bedroom are very steep and narrow making them awkward to negotiate - particularly when carrying luggage. It would have been nice to have instructions how to work the integrated coffee machine, we tried and failed to puzzle it out. Thankfully a cafetiere was available.
We stayed at this lovely house for a week while on a walking holiday. It was perfectly located in a quiet area of town, just a 15 minute walk to the railway station for train or bus to the beginning of our walks Being up high we enjoyed spectacular views of the North Bay and the garden was a delightful place to relax and take in the view. We particularly appreciated the large bright rooms and beds were very comfortable. One of the main reasons we chose this house was the free off-road parking for our car which was very convenient.

United KingdomThere are 2 large wardrobes however, you only have access to 1/2 of one wardrobe with only 8 hangers for up to 8 guests. One wardrobe was padlocked with no access at all. The advert states 3 bathrooms when there are only 2.5 (2 bathrooms and a toilet on the first floor landing)
The location of this property is fantastic for both the North & South Bays. Views of the sea can be seen from every window in the house, its a beautifully renovated Georgian townhouse. Lots of space & facilities for families, the photographs in the listing are accurate.

United KingdomVery little. It was all very good. As it was a 3 storey Edwardian House, the stairs were sometimes a little steep, but we all got used to them. You cannot have an Edwardian Town House that is 3 storeys high without a lot of stairs!!
everything. It was a delightful property, beautifully decorated and well stocked. All appliances new. Very comfortable and kept all the beautiful architectural points in the Edwardian House. A pleasure to stay in.

United KingdomThis property is next door to a large hotel and the lovely garden backs onto the ‘working back yard’ with the bins and large flue. Most of the time we could ignore this, though and just enjoy the view. This house for 8 only had 1 of the parking spaces as the other is used by the downstairs flat for 2. We managed street parking without much hassle using the residents scratch cards provided, but this was the end of October; I think parking may be difficult in the summer months.
Great location with wonderful views from every window. We enjoyed the decking overlooking North bay everyday with a few drinks and to the envy of walkers passing by. Stylish and functional interior that made a great family holiday.

United KingdomThe toilet on the first floor doesn't seem to be attached very securely to the wall. Some of the light switches were in need of a clean. The carpets in the bed rooms were stained.
The location is fabulous and the view from the decking was so lovely. The house was comfortable and nicely furnished. The kitchen / dinning room is a great space to meet, sit, chat etc.

United KingdomWhile the main issue I had was resolved it's a shame it happened. On arrival one of the beds bedding was dirty. The cleaner was unavailable so I ended up having to change this myself. While that's not an issue it's disappointing that the cleaning company was so bad. I've had previous experience with host stay cleaners doing this, very poor experience. Main sofa's are cream fabric, why lol. I ended up washing one cushion as it was dirty and this showed why cream is not a good idea, the rest of the sofa looked really bad next to the clean one. Recommend you have the cleaners do the covers once a month or replace with a different colour. Someone had tried to get in the locked storage cupboard previously and pulled the skirting board off the wall along with the plaster. We didn't notice it until the 2 year old had some in his mouth! No dryer which wouldn't be an issue but there is only a broken clothes horse, and the rotary washing line has no where to go. We ended up putting it in the table hole but it leaned over all the time so drying took ages. Beds.. mattress was fine but the pillows were so bad. Kids ended up sleeping with cushions instead and the duvet was like a winter blanket. Was so hot we just took it out of the cover
Location is great. Sea views and a short walk to the beach and strip The house has lots of room The garden is big with a lovely view Child gate on the 2nd floor is a nice touch. We could relax knowing the little ones wouldn't fall down. Washing Machine is helpful shame no dryer Parking permits for outside. We had 3 cars so this was nice
