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 KingdomBathroom had seen better days, very high step up into the small shower. One of the sockets by the desk didn't work. Needs a lamp on the desk, the 2 bedside wall-lights are pretty much useless.
Perfect for dropping our daughter back to University. Comfortable bed, very clean and tidy. Lovely tea/coffee tray with plenty on it.

United KingdomUnfortunately the beds in the twin room were uncomfortable. The mattresses were thin and hard suggesting they could do with replacing
Great location, Great breakfast, great price. Checking in was very smooth and the key pickup was very easy. The twin room was spacious clean and tidy and there were generous amounts of tea and coffee available in the room. Breakfast was plentiful with a choice of full cooked or cold, of yoghurts, cereal etc. All available from the buffet style service.

SpainI was surprised at just how basic (and dated) the accommodation is. For the price I would have expected a tv screen and a small fridge, as well as more modern equipment. Only one power point above the desk hardly seems adequate.
This venue was convenient for graduation with parking nearby. Bed was warm and comfortable.

United KingdomSmall suggestions for improvements: more power sockets in room (there were only two) and a wider selection of non-caffeine (e.g. camomile/mint/rooibos as well as fruit teabags).
Very convenient for graduation ceremonies, and very well heated on a winter's night.

United KingdomShower was hard to use but I won in the end. Mould in shower tray off-putting . No 13A sockets near bed. Bed low down and close to floor. Bedside light is really something and uses a 2A round pin plug. Finding breakfast location an early morning challenge.
Location great with easy access to walks. Interesting University campus, fairly lively as Christmas Market was running. Room clean and bright with good heating by radiator.

United KingdomNo information on how to find it….no map… once on campus it’s very confusing and no-one to ask…. Would have been a real problem if I hadn’t been met by a friend who is s student there. Internet didn’t work and service desk only available Mon to Friday. Goodness knows if reception is ever staffed, but fortunately didn’t need anything… there is a phone number to call, but didn’t test it…
