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 KingdomClothes storage was a small rail fixed to the wall, would not suit a weeks holiday. Hotel Nightclub outside room10 was quite noisy. TV not working room 14 for mother in law, and unable to fix it for one night stay. Hotel was a bit quirky on several levels with spiral steps from the street outside up to reception although there was a small lift to the first level….however the corridor to bedrooms was very dark with dark carpet on a spiral staircase leading to a heavy door. Shower space very small in room 14 like a caravan with nowhere to put anything except a toothbrush, no shelves or cupboards at all in the ensuite for room 10 either.
Parking was free. Restaurant was clean and spacious with good food. Breakfast was plentiful and well presented. Bed was comfy. Room was fairly clean with spacious ensuite in room 10 although quite sparse, no storage space. Free use of gym equipment and indoor warm pool with basic changing facilities.

United KingdomAccess road to car park was closed and receptionist was unaware of this fact but did give us an alternative route after us having to ask. Restaurant closed very early and staff did not seem to be aware of this. We were told one night that it was 9.00 p.m. but when we went for a meal there was two meetings going on and the restaurant was closed so we had to eat in the bar. On our arrival we could not get lunch as receptionist said they did not do lunch but could not recommend any other places to eat. Would have thought this should be known by staff as after a very busy day we had to search for somewhere to eat and next day when out for a walk found out if we had went in the other direction we would have had several choices.
The pool and leisure facilities were great. Room very clean and tidy. Cleaning staff must work hard and deserve the credit. Breakfast was good and staff very helpful.

United KingdomThere was a function on the night I visited. I wanted to relax after my journey before going out later at night but I had to turn the volume on the TV right up to drown out the noise from the function.
A pleasant enough stay, comfortable and very handy for amenities - being right in the centre of the town. Really nice breakfast.
