How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Very little to fault the hotel, though I did feel the bedroom was a little smaller than I had anticipated from the description. Hotel had a busy but fun atmosphere. On street, free Parking was not an issue
Very welcoming, very clean and modern decor. Nicely presented bathroom with Fabulous shower. Very nice diner menu, good food and superb breakfast. The hotel staff were very helpful and accommodating. Couldn’t fault the hotel’s location but the street noise was a little rowdy at 4am.

I didn't like the bed. The wooden base digs in your legs when you sit on it as the mattress sits inside it. I struggle with my mobility and the lack of hand rails on the stairs was an issue for me. Parking is a pain as it operates on a disc scheme and trying to make sure you're not rushing breakfast, means having to go out to change the disc. Too many steps/levels inside.
Breakfast was very good. The location is perfect for town The room was lovely, very spacious. Drinks prices were good. Staff were friendly.

No on site parking, but in fairness, free parking available close by within easy walking distance.
Good central location to explore the town. Staff friendly and very helpful. Room (family room 1 double, 1 single bed) comfortable, nicely furnished and very clean. We had a great evening meal in the restaurant - good range of choice on the menu and reasonably priced. Excellent breakfast - cooked to order.

Parking for a vehicle at the venue is a problem at the moment as the town centre roads are being re laid but this should be fixed when the roadworks are completed.
A warm welcome from the staff and got settled in quickly. There is a private lounge for guests which is good. Both the dinner and the breakfast were great and the service was good. The room and ensuite were clean tidy and had plenty of room.

We were in room 7 which was a good size with double and single bed but sadly it wasn't a full size single so feet were hanging over the end . We didn't realise we were above the kitchen until the fan started which was quite noisy but it went off a 9pm but started at 7-730 am so it didn't disturb our sleep too much.
The Hotel is in an excellent location and the free 24 hour parking is only a five minute walk away. The welcome from one of the managers was very friendly and he took our bags to our room. The staff and the dining area and bars were first rate. We decided on our first night to eat in the hotel and we weren't disappointed. The food was top class as was the breakfast the following morning. We decided to eat at the hotel the following night and again the food was delicious.!!

Not the fault of the hotel but there is a lot of roadworks in the town centre at the moment.
The staff were all very helpful and the food was good. I particularly liked the breakfast. They are very dog friendly and we found a cover for the bed so the dogs could go on with a towel provided for the dogs and a bag of dog treats. At breakfast the dogs are treated like guests and they were provided with a breakfast of sausage and scrambled eggs. The hotel provided a long stay parking disc which is valid in the town car park which is about a 3 or 4 minute walk from the hotel
