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.).

We were offered breakfast but declined. We were upgraded to a bigger room with en suite, it was spacious with a comfortable bed, tea coffee making facilities, we loved it and great location not far from the tower and pubs, all within walking distance.

I honestly don’t think there is anything that us all as a family did not like.
The location was perfect for an event I was attending at the winter gardens also with the car park opposite it makes it an all round ideal location to reach not only the winter gardens but also the tower & shops

There's not much we didn't like. Sharing a bathroom for one of us was a new experience, but they overcame that, and we had a brilliant say.
Mark and Lisa were great hosts. Catered for our every need. Breakfast was great. We liked how close we were to all the activities but far enough away from the busy night life.

The stay at the Franklyn Hotel was just great. Lisa and Mark were wonderful hosts. Nothing was to much trouble. We used a family room and it was spot on"The London Room". The beds were probably the most comfortable we have experienced and the double bed was bliss super comfy. Each morning we had full breakfasts. I have some dietary needs and Lisa got Mark on the case to get me wheat and gluten free bread for my toast. 5⭐ for that. We sat at the bar one evening and had a wonderful chat with our hosts. Really down to earth people who are so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be telling family and friends about this little treasure in Blackpool. A big bonus also a stones throw from the main strip without the noise. Will most definitely be back in the future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hotel is clean and staff are lovely. There was always someone about if you need anything. Room was small but clean and has everything that we needed. Window opens good supply off tea and coffee, bed comfy. You can get a cold can off juice when you wanted. All and all this 1 off the best hotels in Blackpool we have stayed in. There is a car park across the road you can use the same ticket for the other car parks in Blackpool. In a couple minutes you can be at coral Island or mcdonald's.

Me and my 3 youngest decided to come stay on a whim and I wasn't nearly prepared .. it was a nice get away with a large room and a 5 minute walk from coral island .. just overall excellent, we hope to return

There was nothing I didn't like.
The hotel was lovely, comfy, clean, and welcoming. The owners were amazing, always asking if we needed anything and really friendly. The room was big enough with enough room for us all. My youngest is on the spectrum and normally struggles to settle in new places, but he settled straight away. I highly recommend this place for a stay in blackpool.
