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 size of the shower gel was quite small. There was only one tube in the bathroom. No breakfast available on the morning of the race day, but there are plenty of small shops around to buy something to eat and fuel up for the race.
Stayed in Boston for the Marathon. Undoubtedly the best thing done by the owners was to keep bedrooms available on the day of the race to allow everyone to have a shower and refresh after the Marathon. That helped so much after the event. The room was very clean and comfortable and spacious enough for one night. The Tavern is located just a 2 minute walk to the start of the Marathon event. For your pre-race dinner, go to the wonderful Thai restaurant across the road called Taan Thai. Perfect for fuelling up with a tasty and nutritious meal.

United KingdomSome minor issues with maintenance of bathroom towel rail but hardly a big deal.
Room was comfortable and the welcome was exceptional. I particularly appreciated the arrangements post marathon - it was great to be allowed to come back to shower (and warm up!).

Room only - No breakfast. Location good, only 5 minutes walk to town centre and cafes.

United KingdomNot currently serving food but plenty of places to eat close by. Outside area a bit tired but still nice to sit out in the morning overlooking the river
Conveniently located near the centre of Boston with carparking very close by (only £3 for 24hrs) My room (accessed via external stairs at the back) was spotlessly clean, with a very comfortable bed, and included tea & coffee making facilities and biscuits. Michelle & Neil friendly and welcoming as were the locals in the bar in the evening.

United KingdomWhat a great find. The Magnet’s location is ideal as it’s so near the town centre. Had such a warm welcome on arrival. The room was spotless, plenty of space and really comfortable bed. It’s great that it’s got a separate entrance to the rooms so you can come and go as you please once you have your key. Would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomRoom is small but ideal for a short stay for a single traveller TV a little small and shower curtain not a screen (nit picking). Bed is a single and I prefer a double, but ideal for size of room.
Warm welcome, cosy room. Nice size bathroom with a bath. Spotlessly clean. Everything needed for a comfortable stay and much nicer than staying in a budget chain where rooms are all identical.
