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 KingdomNothing, the hosts have thought of everything. Refurbished accommodation has definitely paid off. Possibly Decaff coffee sachets next time? Not a deal breaker though......
Warm greeting by one of the hosts, excellent chance to ask any questions. No breakfast offered with this accommodation as the ground floor is a bar, 1st floor a restaurant but plenty of eating places very close by. Not an issue.

United KingdomLots of small things, In the room: bathroom vanity light (no lamp) & shave socket weren't working; the bathroom mirror was low for anybody over 1.5m: the sealant around the shower pan was unbelievably amateurish if not actually ineffective: one of the complimentary coffee sachets had already been used: at times, the cold water supply seemed to run almost as hot as the hot water supply and had to be run for a minute before it ran cold (unusual as its usually the other way around) & heating controls seemed mis-set as the radiators were very hot in the middle of the night but cold by 8.30am. usual excess of cushions & pillows on the bed, the cost of which would have been better spent on a better bed frame or mattress, the combination is very bouncy & almost had me falling out on my first night the lack of food provision is an obvious omission (an Indian restaurant on the ground floor does not fit) & disappointing that the bar was not open on either night of my stay, though not surprising for Monday & Tuesday night in early season
Very good location & great to see the property being used as its original purpose of an Inn. Great to have both a room fridge & a safe. Free parking immediately to the rear of the property but I fear Durham County Council may soon remove this asset. It would be great if a concession could be negotiated for residents. Certainly much better than the last time we stayed (under previous ownership/management).

Very comfortable room with good facilities… even a fridge. the room had a sea view which was a bonus. the accommodation is very close to lots of great places to eat… and also the beaches.
