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 KingdomOur premium room was right next to the kitchen roof so there was a constant drone and noise from the extractor fans. On night one it was clearly switched off around 11:00 . Night 2 it was on all night meaning that our sleep was very disrupted as we had to close the windows to have less noise but then the room over heated so either way it made sleeping difficult. On night 3 I asked whether the fans could be turned off and they were eventually. I was surprised that a hotel with such a good reputation would have a premium room in a part of the hotel where this could happen. Also the water pressure was variable so the temperature of showers fluctuated between hot and cold rapidly.
The room was a good size and was clean and comfortable. We had dinner on 1 night which was well cooked if a little pricey. Breakfast were excellent and the restaurant staff were good throughout our 3 day stay. Comfortable lounges with coffee always available.

United KingdomOur room was a bit small and we struggled with all the dog gear, if we had not had our dog with us it would have been fine. Next time I will request a larger room even if it means I pay more. We stayed here before with our dog and it was a bigger room which was fine.
Vast majority of hotel is very good, this is a very good hotel and having a relaxed environment for our dog is excellent.

United KingdomThe lady on Sunday 14th, we were ‘waiting’ to check out as you could only check out at 7:30a. I saw her arrive and went over to ask to check out and she was still in her coat and almost sighed and said “I’ve not even log into my computer yet” which I think was unnecessary to say. She checked me out, didn’t ask how our stay was or a even goodbye was just a shame to end our hotel experience like that.
The breakfast was superb and the lady who was working Sunday 14th Jan called us in when we were booked to eat at 7:30am, she was friendly, polite, and very helpful. She was a credit to the hotel!
