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 room was very small (expected due to great deal we had for our stay) but it was difficult for 2 people to move around / store luggage - hard to suggest how to improve (not much furniture that could be removed, but it was cramped.
Staff were excellent - very welcoming on arrival, friendly and helpful throughout. Lovely hotel in a great location. Excellent breakfast options and service.

United KingdomRoom - a mix of the renovated ( the bathroom ) but the decor must be next for renovation - plenty of paint chips, pictures and ornaments had seen better days : and electrically, needs to catch up with sockets which include computer power points - suggest guests take adaptors and power leads !
Location on the townsquare - room spacious, bed good, tea/coffee good, tv and DAB radio worked well - drinking in the historic bar , which has Sky Sports - breakfast top class - staff very friendly and helpful - parking available at rear .

I booked it for my parents as a Christmas present. The staff made them feel really special. The food was amazing. They were allowed to check in early. The pack of cards in a wooden box delighted my Dad. All the above and beyond gestures made it really special.

United KingdomOne staff wasn’t good . I lost my driving glasses ( my fault) … really unhelpful, stroppy . Wouldn’t let me look for them as I had a 250 mile drive ahead of me . She told me she had cleaned up the at area and no glasses were found . I asked ( begged ) I needed them . Searched my room and car. No glasses so no travel !!!!! As I was trying to leave a lovely cleaning lady said “ are you room 11 as I’ve found a jacket you’ve left . I said “ it’s a shame it wasn’t a pair of glasses . She said I found some this morning they are in reception I will get them for you “ She saved my life …. Bar staff great Restaurant staff great Cleaners great One lady really didn’t care 🥴
Lovely place . Some staff were excellent.
