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 KingdomA little more thought with detail. Nowhere to hang towels in bathroom - hooks at a minimum but ideally a towel rail. Insufficient electrical points and USB charging points not working. Extractor fan outside room 10 intrusive.
Rooms have been recently refurbished to a high standard so our room was pleasant and comfortable. Excellent shower. Staff consistently friendly and helpful.

United KingdomCould have done with more coffee & milk supplies as I actually stayed 2 nights but they weren’t topped up. However I could probably have just got more from the bar staff.
Breakfast was great & all the staff were lovely, friendly & helpful. The single room was small but had all I needed. The shower cubicle was great & very good size. It was busy in the bar with great atmosphere - very sociable.

United KingdomThe meals were typical pub meals and a strong smell of cooking fat in the bar. My room (a single) had an uncomfortable bed and there was a extraction ventilator duct immediately outside the window which did not get switched off until about 11 pm and which kept me awake. The breakfast was generous and freshly prepared.
Good location in the old town and easily found. Excellent car park with CCTV. Pub gets busy in the evenings.

United KingdomIt can be noisy if the guests above or to the side have decided to go out on the town and get back in fairly late, especially if they've lost their key which can happen, but they are usually dealt with pretty quickly.
Staff are always helpful and the breakfast is cooked to order from 7am and your are within a short walk to a number of different restaurants for the evening and fancy something different. Parking is included which is great but the car park isn't that big so is some times full.
