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.).

JerseySomeone opened the door at 5am which disturbed my sleep. Shower curtain was a bit dirty Pillows could have had better pillow cases
Nice easy set up of a hotel. I had a really good night sleep. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
The room was clean and tidy with decent facilities. I did not dine in for dinner or breakfast so cannot comment. One excellent plus point was the provision of a number of fast charging points, a real bonus for EV drivers, and not overpriced per KwH! Staff were friendly and very helpful.

United KingdomNot many staff and had to keep trying to attract their attention to check in and check out. No teaspoon in room for tea and coffee so has to come downstairs to get one. Bathroom was tired looking, the floor was uneven and there was gaffer tape taping something up on the floor!
Location. Lift. Very secure door entry system to your room. Facilities in room.

United KingdomThe safe could have worked, although I forgot to tell reception that we couldn't use it. It would have been very handy to have. The bottom drawer under the television wouldn't close properly.
Room made up as requested. i.e. two single beds. Dinner was a typical pub type menu

United KingdomThe bed wasn't very comfy and the pillows were bulky. The shower pipe was leaking but I only had one shower and I forgot to tell them about it so that they can fix it for the benefit of their customer; it would have felt a lot better if it wasn't leaking in the first place.
I liked the lady at the reception, she was so nice and tried her best to help me and make my check in as soon as possible. I had a good night afterall.

United KingdomThe general cleanliness was poor. The bathroom had no extractor fan and as result there was mould on the ceilings and the shower curtain does not look like it is frequently washed. The sheets smelt like damp and mould. The WiFi did not work at all in my room which I needed to do work. There is also absolutely no sound proofing between rooms either side or on the floor above.
The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating.
