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 KingdomI booked two rooms and asked for them to be next to each other. I received an email to say my request was accepted, but when I booked in the hotel, the rooms were in different corridors.
Inside the hotel is clean and tidy. Good location and value for your money.

United KingdomThe staff were very friendly but didn’t have much of a clue when I went to the front desk as pointed out by a sign “ask at front desk” we saw a dog wash station for dogs paws and felt to be polite and wash her feet before walking dirty sandy/muddy paws through the hotel lobby. A young girl asked one member of staff out back who said ask management she radioed over to manger and he came out he also said oh I saw the sign but don’t have a clue I’ll ask another manager I stood there waiting for him to return and no return I walk out the front and there he was doing something by the pool clearly escaped the question. We come to check out at the end not realising we had to pay for parking we didn’t see this on the booking description and felt with paying money to stay the parking shouldn’t of cost us £15 per night to have a car sitting there it should of been told to us whilst checking in so we would of chosen not to park there. Yet I go to toilet after to see a sign at the back of the door “free parking when you book with us” for why isit I pay to park if I don’t doesn’t make any sense.
The hotel is in a great location, is very dog friendly and made us feel very welcome to have our dog with us. Our room was very good, very comtable bed and lovely sea view.

United KingdomThe shower in our room could do with a new shower head, water was leaking from it at each point. This was the only negative.
Very friendly, helpful people on reception, breakfast room and bar. Hotel in a good location. Room was comfortable and a nice size. Toiletries used were nice. Like the fact it is dog friendly and the little touches, we plan to come back with our dog. Unfortunately due to the time of year the pool was closed.
