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 KingdomThe apartments are extremely dated. They desperately need upgraded. They smell musty! They should show photos of the bathrooms as I wouldn’t have booked if I’d seen more photos.
The location and scenery is absolutely stunning. The grounds of the resort are gorgeous too

United KingdomThe accommodation was in need of an upgrade. It looked drab and dark. Fridge didn’t cool down and we reported this. There was also a smell coming from the kitchen sink which we also reported. As it was raining we tried to watch a movie on DVD player which didn’t work but this was replaced quickly which was great for the children.
The property was spacious though in need of an upgrade. Apartment we had had a lovely outlook.

United KingdomI did not like no signal on the phone. no wi-fi all weekend. the problem was not solved. When traveling with children, parents also want to have some time off. mold on windows everywhere, cobwebs in windows need cleaning. I don't think I'll go back there again.
I liked the park, a lot of greenery, well-kept lawns and the surrounding area. silence, beautiful views. a picnic area on the grass, benches and coffee tables outside with a beautiful view. In leisure centre a changing room for families with children to enter the swimming pool.

United KingdomCheck in with Rebecca at reception....was advised that no other apartments are available all booked. After i had requested previously 4 weeks prior to a view of water. The ground floor apartment was not up to standard in the cleanliness, so I was not staying there for this reason also no view due to trees. After this, I was moved only to find out that most of the apartments were empty. Nearly 7 at night before I got settled and check-in is from 5 So time wasted. Not great customer service, only at check in this is my only fault along with the musty apartment. After this reception was good and was happy with my stay. When you are on your own first point of contact It is important to me. Staff in general were pleasant and helpful Defo going back now. I have been and seen this wonderful setting

United Kingdom- Our lodge was very dated and had some mould (there was even a mushroom growing out from one of the bathroom tiles!) - Silly little things that just added up to be disappointing considering the money we paid (clock wasn’t working - easily fixed with a new battery, wallpaper was coming off the wall, walls were in need of a paint with some dirty marks). - Restaurant prices are astronomical.
- Great location - Friendly staff - Lovely grounds - Sauna in lodge

United KingdomOur apartment had no hot water the 4 nights we stayed so we took showers in the spa but it meant we had none for washing up. We thought it was a storage heater so waited for it to come but it never did. On a few occasions the outside smelt very strong of cannabis, including when on our balcony. When checking out someone had charged £48 from the bar to our room, and felt uncomfortable when questioned about it. I really love coming here no matter the weather but these issues were a real downside this time.
The pool and spa was amazing as we were able to go whenever we liked. The views from the hotel and the location is everything for us. It is perfect for families, with amazing walks either a short drive or right on the doorstep.

United KingdomThe lodge was very dated and in need of complete refurbishment / redecoration The pool area was closed due to a heating failure - this had happened a few days earlier and no-one notified us in advance. It was only repaired on the morning we left. The more casual dining / drinking area was closed - seasonal hours. The Garden Restaurant dinner menu was expensive and the wine list prices were ridiculous
The location was peaceful and the view from our lodge was spectacular. The lodge was very clean and had everything we required for our self-catering break. The DVD rental option from reception helped to pass an evening
