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 KingdomVery outdated. A few things not up to scratch in the room, broken remote control, toilet slow to flush and lid kept falling down. We had a cosy double but the shower is tiny and bathroom is very small. Stair carpets worn in places. A bit expensive for the accommodation we had.
Location was good and close to all amenities.

United KingdomRoom was dated,certainly not what it looked like in picture when i booked.sockets in room not working,they put in an extension lead,not a nice view from our window,(which was very dirty), and the toilet made a horrendous noise for about ten mins after it was flushed. Tv kept losing the picture and signal.(we know people come for a break and don't watch the TV, but it's the principle of it). We asked for an iron (I forgot to pack one) and we got one then found out that it didn't work.Shower had very little water flow,sticker said very hot water,but it was luke warm. I feel im moaning a lot but it was OK couldn't fault the staff or the location.
Location was beautiful with everything you need on your doorstep.

United KingdomThe hotel, like so many in the region, is old and outdated. The floor squeaked every step you took. The bathroom was just OK. It needed updating.
Ideal location right on sea front.Bed was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was as good as possible when catering for a large number of people. Didn't do evening meals. Staff OK, not over friendly. Wouldn't stay again.

United KingdomThe rooms were okay, but everything could do with upgrading. The beds in some of the rooms are very hard, and can feel the springs. Both lounges were unbearably hot, and there was no ventilation as the windows didn't open. All radiators like a furnace and the sun also heating these rooms.
The location was excellent. The food was okay, but they did cater for children when asked, as there was no children's menu. Bedding and towels were very clean.

United KingdomThe hotel was very run down, which was somewhat expected and reflected in the price. We didn't report anything at the hotel. However, on one day, employees were arguing loudly at the reception area, which wasn't a good representation of the hotel.
The location was great.

United KingdomAlthough there are features that remind you of grandeur of earlier years, generally the hotel is showing its age. We merely booked a room, giving us flexibility to use all of Oban's facilities, so did not experience the hotel restaurant. Windows are single glazed, with aged frames.
The room was very spacious, and away from the corridor, so no noise from people walking passed. Beautiful view of the bay.
