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 only thing was the room was quite cold due to the window being open when we arrived, we couldn’t get the radiators to work but once your snuggled under the big duvet it’s fine
the room was a lot larger than expected and was really clean and comfy. The bath was deep, perfect for a nice soak after a long day of driving. The room had a kettle with tea/ coffees and biscuits provided. The bed was large and comfy with a heavy thick quilt to keep you warm. The staff were really friendly and polite. We had the breakfast included and it was delicious, a buffet style of hot foods bacon, sausage, eggs everything for a full English, it also had a cereal bar and a pastry section with hot drinks and a verity of fresh juices AMAZING!!

United KingdomThe bar is located at the side of the property which is laid out more like a diner, quite a contrast to the rest of this characterful property.
Very central location, a short walk to the town's amenities. Modern and well equipped room. A hotel with great character and features. Very helpful and friendly staff.

United KingdomSome of staff in bar / restaurant, although pleasant enough did not greet us immediately and seemed in a rush to take the order without much interaction. Reception person when we arrived was talking on phone and didn't acknowledge or make eye contact with us until call ended (approx. 5 minutes). Reception person who booked us out was positively disinterested, noted our room number and said goodbye. There was no inquiry about our stay. The general decor was adequate but tired in places. Staircases to bedrooms are beautiful but impractical for those with even slight mobility issues.
Nice touches like comfy chairs to rest in at various points. Bookshelf on first floor. Lady serving breakfast (sorry don't know her name) on 7th October was EXCELLENT. She was exemplary and a credit to the establishment. 'Charley' who helped serve our evening meal was very kind and attentive.

United StatesIt is not accessible. Room was up 2 flights of stairs and there is no lift. The shower in the room took forever to get hot, and this was at 11:30 at night. Had to flush toilet twice for it to actually flush.
It's pretty and in a good location. The food was good in the bar. Staff were friendly.
