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.).

CyprusDining at the on-site restaurant was one major disadvantage for me. I chose the carbonara. The pasta was overcooked and it really made my experience less enjoyable. The breakfast the next morning though (paid extra), was a delight.
Stifford Hall Hotel in Thurrock is a delightful blend of historical charm and modern comfort. Housed in a beautifully restored Georgian mansion, the hotel exudes a sense of timeless elegance. The rooms are well-appointed, featuring comfortable furnishings and up-to-date amenities, ensuring a restful stay. The staff exhibit a friendly and attentive service, adding a personal touch to the experience. To my opinion, they are the hotel's best asset. Overall, Stifford Hall Hotel provides a charming and comfortable retreat, making it an excellent choice for both leisure and business travelers seeking a touch of historic elegance in Thurrock.

United KingdomStaff are very very friendly and very commentating and the breakfast was absolutely lovely and very good quality products. The room was quite compact with a very small bath. Unfortunately, the room didn’t have any form of mirror. we weren’t able to actually physically lock the door apart from the chain and the toilet seat needed repairing. The blackout curtains really worked well. All small cosmetic things it can easily be sorted.

The hotel has had a major refurbishment and our room, the bar and the restaurant were really good.

United KingdomAt breakfast there was only a buffet. An egg station offering more options like fried eggs and omelets would a great addition.
We had to extend our stay because the cruise we were due to join was delayed. The staff were very helpful and arranged an extra night at the same discounted rate we had with Booking.com. The staff were very friendly and efficient making our extended stay very enjoyable.

United KingdomReally my only fault was the fact that the only miroor in the room was located in the bathroom, the room would benefit from a mirror in the main area.
A very friendly welcome on arrival, very nice room. We were there for a function and the event was well run, food was very good and again the staff were all friendly. Buffet breakfast was excellent with enough choice to please everyone.
