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 KingdomDownside of the location is the noise. The pub’s open until 1am and the windows don’t look double glazed so a lot of noise gets in.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great location on the high street near all the bars & restaurants.

United KingdomThe access entrance to the room was tired and could do with painting. The stairway at the bottom a bit muddy. The room was spacious. There seemed to be a mark on the wall where the head board was so maybe needed replacing or painting. The bathroom was nicely tiled and a good fan and plenty of hot water. A shame the sink was cracked which it looks like the heavy glasses maybe caused this.
Good location as you can walk straight into Berkhamstead. Breakfasts were very good and a good choice of food. Staff really friendly. The room was very spacious and a nice bathroom.

United KingdomBed was very soft, like a campbed. Noisy outside the room due to it backing onto the pub outside seating area (noise to be expected).
Smart pub, with a nice restaurant and bar, friendly and attentive staff. Room was a good size, as was the bathroom. Plenty warm enough and supplied with coffee etc., with daily cleaning. Great location too in the town centre.

United KingdomThe staff were excellent - very welcoming and helpful, both ahead of time and on the day. They kindly let us drop off our bag in the morning before we went on a countryside ramble with friends. The location was perfect - on the charming high street in Berkhamstead. We had an excellent dinner at the restaurant (book ahead!). The whole menu looked delicious, but I highly recommend their specials menu. The service at the restaurant and the hotel was of a very high standard. We would definitely return.
