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 KingdomHaving to write this review at 3am because the people on the floor above us are playing loud music and making lots of noise. Banging doors etc. Really poor, no consideration for other guests. Can B&B just state their rules are no loud music etc after midnight?
Rooms clean but missing things such as spoons and mugs. The rooms are in great condition, just small things as mentioned above reduces their standards.

United KingdomThe bedroom is a room in a terraced house, it is small and clean. The room was very hot, but you couldn’t leave the window open as there was no security on it. I had to take to cover off the shower drain to stop it flooding. There was no mattress protecter on the bed, and the TV didn’t work.
I liked the cafe for breakfast

United KingdomI would not recommend if you are after a good night’s sleep. Units are within old converted terrace houses, meaning that you hear absolutely everything your neighbours do. If they shower, it’s as if they were in your room, corridor noise is loud and disturbing, when people walk around in the unit about, floor boards creak loudly. I stopped counting how many times I got woken up during the night. I will not use again, especially as I need to feel fresh and alert, but woke up tired.
It felt practical being near the city centre. The bedroom is fine, but I don’t agree about general standard of cleanliness that people reported, especially in the bathroom.

United KingdomCheck-in is via the cafe next door. Despite giving an arrival time as requested by them, the manager was not on site when we arrived so we had to wait in the cafe for over half an hour before we could check-in, we were tired and just wanted to get into the room. The walk from the cafe to the room was bad. The accommodation is part if a converted terrace property up the road from the cafe. The road/pavement was filthy and full of litter all the way up to the front door. Just scruffy and off-putting. The room was tiny and ultra basic, probably a student digs with no carpet. Just a bed, kettle and a tv we couldn't get to pick up live tv. The bathroom was tiny, with a sink, loo and shower cubicle and no space in between any of them. Thankfully we are both small but anyone larger would have struggled. Sitting on the loo your arm is up against the wall and radiator. You would have to move into the main bedroom to get dried after a shower. Only one person could fit in at a time. The mattress desperately needs replacing and they need better pillows. It was a very uncomfortable night. The fire/smoke alarm went off first late at night, but the cafe was open until 11pm so someone was still on site to sort it. It went off for about 5 minutes. However, it then went off again at 2am and nobody was around to help. We called the 2 mobile numbers on the emergency contact details for the owner and manager and left voicemail messages but got no reply. The noise was deafening and we had to go outside with 2 other guests. It went off for about 20-30 minutes until it stopped but nobody came out and nobody responded to our calls. At breakfast the next morning nothing was mentioned about it at all, no apology or anything. A really bad night UPDATE - just had a nasty call from Gulson Estates saying they do not like my nasty review and they will be reporting me to Booking.com. I have never left a bad review before, and this is my honest opinion based on my stay. I stand by it.
It was the cheapest in the area due to an event at the NEC. The price included a full English breakfast and a hot drink, the breakfast was good but no choice if either of us had been veggie, but the breakfast was good and the cafe owner opened up slightly earlier to accommodate our earlier departure request. The woman serving breakfast and doing the check-in was friendly and polite. There is a nice Thai restaurant around the corner. On-site parking is offered at £10 per night but don't bother with that as there is free on road parking outside.
