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 restaurant and lounge areas were open to the public. It would have been nice to have had a quiet lounge for residents only. The decor a bit tired looking? Otherwise it was lovely.
The view from our room across the sea was amazing, we even saw a seal outside our bedroom window! The bedroom was fairly plain but very comfortable and lovely to watch the sea from our bed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was lovely and well cooked. Amazing views all round the hotel.

United KingdomMy only improvements would be the room size - the room & bathroom was super cosy which was okay for us but at times a bit cramped with our suitcases in there too. Also the buffet breakfast was delicious but ran out quite early everyday. Very minor points though and we would definitely recommend and stay again!
My mum & I had the best 4 nights at Pedn Olva! The location is absolutely perfect, the hotel has the most amazing views from all angles and is well positioned between the town and all the beaches so you'll never have to walk too far. The pool and sunlounger area is great - there is also a lovely terrace with plenty of space - we felt like we were abroad! Our bed was one of the comfiest I've ever slept in and the breakfasts we had every morning were delicious. We would definitely return!!

United KingdomUnfortunately there was an incident at the hotel the night I stayed where I witnessed a man fall to his death from the room above mine so understandably the stay was very stressful as I was in shock and very emotional seeing what I did and knowing how heartbroken his family must be ! The hotel manager and reception manager were absolutely amazing to comfort me and went above and beyond in the tragic circumstances and could not have done more to try and rectify my traumatic eve / morning
Beautiful location, fabulous staff lovely food clean rooms stunning views from the hotel
