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 no table lamp and shower is very small. Kettle needs changing or at least descaling. Nothing too bad if you are only staying one or two nights.
Simple and clean. The room was small but had almost everything I needed, and the location was key for me to catch a very early train the next day.

Cheap and cheerful, it’s not the Ritz but then again it’s not Ritz money. It was comfortable, clean and good value for money.

United KingdomI felt the place was a little run down but again reflected in the great value. Room was just what was needed, a bed, shower and complimentary coffees etc.
Although the premises wasn't particularly great in comparison to other main hotels I have stayed at, it was excellent value for money and probably the comfiest bed I have slept in compared to other hotels.

United KingdomExcellent location - very close to the station. For a town centre location, it was actually very quiet despite the fact that I’d seen other reviews mentioning a noisy pub next door. Maybe it’s because it was a Tuesday night - not the most popular night to go out.

United KingdomThe heating did not seem to work but it was warm anyway. I'd have liked two pillows and clearer instructions on how to get out of the building.
Clean, comfortable place to stay near the station, shops and restaurants. Easy to get breakfast nearby. No staff - guests are texted the codes for entry - but this works well. Everything you want it provided - towels, toiletries, kettle, tea etc - with table and chair.

United KingdomThe room was poorly maintained and not very clean. I moved the bed as there was no seat in the room to find an old pair of boxer shorts and lots of rubbish, plus what looked like many years of dust.
Not a lot other the location and flexibility and ease of accessing the room.
