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 KingdomLocation. Fairly priced and nice sized room. All basic needs met. A tv shower and toilet. Double bed freshly made. Only issue was the walls are fairly thin so could hear other people’s tvs or muffling from conversations in other rooms. One night it was fairly noisy around 4am outside our door for no reason but stopped every 10/15 minutes or so. Possibly people come in to their rooms. The stairs were a little old dated and worn which made it hard for me to walk up to my room being pregnant but felt the safer option as the lift looked very out dated and old and small. But all in all 3 nights at £176 you can’t complain. It did its purpose and it was overall a lovely location and great stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our tv didn’t work when we arrived so it was soon replaced which a working tv so we could watch free view , with film 4 which was great.

United KingdomNot really a dislike, but the owners have made a lot of effort to improve the appearance of the communal areas, and they are now looking nice. The rooms however are starting to look 'tired' and do need some renovations. But they are clean, and have all the positives mentioned above, so for me it makes up for it, and although some improvements are needed, I can live with the rooms as they are as a solo traveller. Many more positives than negatives, and I will book to stay again.
This is my second stay at The Carlton, and it confirms the good points of my previous visit, and I will gladly stay there again. On both occasions the rooms have been large, toasty warm, with constant hot water for washing and showers, and both beds were incredibly comfortable. The rooms were also clean and tidy too. These are four areas that can spoil a stay in a hotel if not achieved, but both my rooms have ticked these boxes well. The location is also very good for the beach, and the town, but also in a quiet location too. Special note for the excellent breakfast too. Well worth the money, and after sampling it last time I booked it for every day on this stay.

United KingdomAll of the staff were very nice except for one. She had a bad attitude when I ask for something to be done so much so that if the hotel wasn't so convenient to me I wouldn't go there again. This was my third time staying there.
Location and price was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe only things I did not like and that is because I am fussy .all the eggs were slimy even the scrambled would have been nice to have a couple cooked sun side up. Also only plain yogurt some fruit ones would have been nice. Shame the restaurant is not open in the evening. But like I said this is just because I am a bit fussy .has not put me of staying again
Staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good except the eggs but other than that all very nice and plenty of it. Location also was ideal ,it is on the sea front but far enough away from the noise end . Was able to park outside the hotel which really helped . This was our first time and has we visit the area a lot due to family living close we will now be booking this hotel for every trip
