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 KingdomAdmittedly we stayed over Easter Bank Holiday weekend and there was a stag party staying. They (understandably) took over the bar, so it was very noisy. In both our rooms, (so I presume all the rooms), the TV is on a unit right in front of the mirror. Would be much better if the TV’s were elsewhere on a wall bracket as you can’t see in the mirror. The bathroom mirror is good, but it’s high above the sink and you need to be nearly 6 feet tall to see yourself in it! The car park is small and no allocated spaces specifically for people staying in the hotel and no dedicated disabled bays. Anyone coming in to use the bar can use the car park and we got blocked in and had to change our plans as we couldn’t find the car owner who had blocked us. There is a council car park next to the hotel, but you can pay for up to 4 hours, or 24 hours - nothing in between - even with a blue badge. It’s £9.80 for 24 hours. The hotel food is okay. You’re given a time slot for breakfast, but even though we stick to our time, others didn’t, so there seems little point. Easter Monday, the ‘help yourself’ section on the breakfast buffet was shocking. Nothing had been restocked and there were no cups for hot drinks; no coffee, no milk and no bread. We had to ask twice for these to be topped up and when they brought out more bread, it was still frozen. We booked knowing the hotel wasn’t 5*, but that is very basic.
Location is good with amazing views. The hotel staff are quite young, but they are a good team and were very friendly. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are large.

United KingdomNothing to stop a return visit , would probably ask not to be in room 1 as the music in the bar reverberated in the room ! Perhaps swap the sofa bed to the window as it was a lot more comfy than the leatherette couch to sit and look at the view Otherwise would recommend !
Great location , easy walk from the station. Excellent breakfast options , recommend the cooked and the pancakes eaten with a giant set of cutlery 🤣 Staff very helpful and friendly , has a pub attached so was able to sit outside and have a pint Had a room upgrade with Booking . Com so had sky in the room and loads of room

ItalyThe heating was not very good in my room. Fortunately in addition to the quilt on the bed, I found a blanket in the wardrobe. Apart from the cooked breakfast, I had to take everything (food, drink but also cutlery and crockery) to my table.
The hotel is very conveniently situated, just a short walk from the beach. The room was large and the breakfast area had a great view over the seafront.

United KingdomRoom upgrade was nice however it was under a corridor which meant you heard nearly every footstep as a thud. Also the room was next to the swimming pool pumps/filters so there was a constant hum (made more annoying as I didn't have ear-plugs with me).
Friendly & helpful staff. Upon viewing my allocated room I was greeted by a cold room with a poorly fitting,window making it cold. The room itself wasn't particularly inspiring with tired carpets and decoration. I requested the chance to view another room which was met with a positive "can-do" attitude. The second room was far nicer, warm, spacious and pleasantly decorated. Comfortable bed, clean and spacious bathroom. Various options for a good breakfast.
