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 room was quiet and comfortable. Little thoughtful things like a small fridge, safe and hairdryer made the Penkelie outstanding value. The location is very close to the Promenade in one direction, and in the other direction you have Lord Street with shops and the Atkinson museum a short walk away.

United KingdomI couldn't get the lamps near the bed to work so this was the only issue.
Lisa who manages the hotel was so polite and helpful, she allowed me to say hello to her dog who was a german shepherd and one of my favourite breeds so the hotel exceeded my expectations. The room was great and spacious, wi-fi was very good and shower and toilet facilities were perfect along with refreshments/amenities. I would happily stay here again. Hotel is a short five minute walk from the promenade.

United KingdomOnly negative issue was the shower was cold one morning. Would have appreciated a little more flexibility of start time for breakfast as we had to be out early in the morning.
Owner Lisa was very welcoming and helpful. Great to have the parking permit. Nicely decorated and spotless room with plenty of mirrors, fridge, wardrobe space and safe. Well stocked hospitality tray, which was replenished daily. Compact spotless bathroom and soft fluffy towels. Comfortable bed. Would certainly return and recommend to our friends.

United KingdomMy only slight moan was the shower. Initially there was no hot water so it had to be run for a few minutes. When there was hot water, the power reduced to a slow dribble, and it was impossible to get a balance between ice-cold and boiling.
A fantastic guest house, beautifully decorated, with a very friendly owner, excellent facilities, and in a brilliant location. I'll definitely be staying here again.
