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 KingdomThat’s the breakfast wasn’t included and had to pay for it separate, if you wanted to
Was in a good spot for the local shops, and near a weatherspoon pub so handy for meals. The room was alright and the staff was friendly

United KingdomIt had no parking you had to pay for parking. The walls were really thin so you could hear people walking down the stairs or the corridor. The floor board were really creaky, so you could hear the persons movement above. The room was very basic and the bed wasn’t very comfy. The bathroom was clean but had a terrible smell.
The location was good. The bathroom was clean.

United KingdomIlfracombe is weird! Some parts are stunning but the main high street is pretty shabby and some of the folk are odd. Decent coffee hard to find. Good lidl though near the hotel. I would say this is a town to visit for a weekend? Beautiful walks.
Near beautiful walks on coast path. We could take our dog. Central location. Clean and newly decorated room. Female receptionist was lovely and friendly.

United KingdomBreakfast at £12 per person is too dear if you only want toast. Stains on the carpet in the bedroom. Too hot. Bed was tilted so my partner fell out twice. Tiny shower ensuite, you couldn't swing a cat in. Faulty hairdryer blew up in my face after 5 seconds on, which was replaced by the lovely Receptionist.
The reception staff are lovely. Brilliant location & view from our bay window. Free parking off street. Huge functional bedroom. The price for the room is good.

United KingdomThe water pressure in the shower is awful. It trickled out. Glad I didn't have to wash my long hair as I'd have been there hours.
The room was basic but clean. It's an old-fashioned building, and the lift is painfully slow. The staff was really friendly and made us and our dog feel at home. Only niggle, on the morning of checkout, a member of staff walked into our room as we were packing; we would have liked an apology. There's pay-and-display parking at the front of the hotel, but I'd recommend pre-booking their (limited) spaces for £6 per night.
