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 KingdomThe en-suite bathroom is very tiny. The sink is minute. The shower works but does not have much flow (electric type). A bit of staining is beginning to show in the shower. No bath. At busy times of the year it is essential to book meals in the bar/restaurant. The price is very high for what is essentially a pub with rooms.
The bed was very comfortable and the room clean. Very good breakfast. The hotel is very well situated close to the train station and bus station. It is also on the main street in the town. The room was also remarkable quiet considering it is in a town centre location. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.

Great location for us, catching an early morning train. Room was very clean and comfortable, and the pub has an excellent vibe and good meals. Quite a pleasure to stay a night or two, especially with St. Michael’s Mount and Mousehole both a short bus ride away.

United KingdomOur room was on the top floor and this made it hard for my partner as she has a bad knee, the hotel was fully boked but we managed ok, the shower was a little cramped but it would have helped to have handles in the shower/toilet to aid getting into and out of the shower.
Food was excellent with plenty of options for those people with food allergies and the quality was outstanding. The staff were also excellent, helpful and approachable at all times. The Pub/dinning area was a very good place to sit and unwind after a long day either watching sport, having a chat or even playing a game. The location was ideal, close to the main transport hubs and close to the seafront.

United KingdomI know these are rooms in a pub rather than a purpose built hotel but the bathroom was old and tired. The carpets in the main corridors could do with replacing.
Great location opposite the train station and main bus stop made it easy to arrive by train and use local buses to get around the area. The cooked to order breakfast was really good.

United KingdomUnfortunately the only trouble we had was little sleep due to the constant talking of the other guests and their bang of the room doors. We could hear lots of noise from traffic outside but that could just be down to the fact the windows are old but it's an old building. Not much can be done about this but find it worth noting for people who want a quiet night.
Lovely ideal location, staff were great. Rooms are fab for the price; nice and clean. It's ideal for a quick stop over.
