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.).

GuernseyThe Crown is a beautiful old pub, steeped in character. The food was freshly sourced (many vegetables grown on site including tomatoes outside at the front . Although I stayed in one of the heatwaves, the room was remarkably cool and a air con unit was also provided. The milk for the room was fresh and in a fridge along with the water. Much appreciated on the hot days. Although I only had breakfast, which was delicious, the menus for lunches and dinner looked very appetising too. Great place to meet friends too, with a lot of place outside to sit as well as inside.

United KingdomIts a shame to say but our room needed a good dust and clean. I moved the tv out on its wall bracket to adjust the view. It was so dusty behind the tv i could have written my name in it lol. the window at the far end is filthy inside and out. It just all wants a deep clean up. This did not spoil our enjoyment of the room. We had a high vaulted ceiling and it had a nice cosy feel to it.
A room full of character. Good cooked breakfast. And well located for the walks we wanted to do.

United KingdomCouldn't fault any of it, room was a bit warm on an evening but you can't blame that on the owners, we did have a fan in the room which helped.
The room was lovely and big, we wanted plenty of space as there was 3 adults. beds were lovely and comfortable, we also had 2 settees in there, which was great for chilling out on, on an evening. Bathroom was great and supplied bath/shower gel and shampoo and conditioner. We had plenty of tea and coffee and hot chocolate and different types of tea , fresh milk in the fridge and also big carafe of water, which we were glad of as it was warm while we were there, packs of biscuits were replenished everyday and clean cups and glasses provided each day, as we stayed for 4 nights. Breakfasts were fantastic, best breakfast we have ever had and the choices were amazing, plenty of it as well.
