How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Our room was very comfortable and extremely clean. Its just that its recent makeover left me puzzled. They installed a double sink facility with wood table in the middle of a very nice bed room which was very out of place. The adjoining bathroom had a writing desk and chair, a high sided tub with a shower (that was difficult to step into, and a toilet. I would have placed the desk and chair in the bedroom and changed the bathroom to a walk in shower and toilet. Just a different vision!
The location and all the food was superb. The car park was also a big plus as many locations have little access by car.

Lots of cushions - usual problem with where to put them when not on the bed. Bathroom walls could have done with freshening up. The schnitzel was extremely greasy - even taking into consideration the butter sauce description - perhaps just a bad day in kitchen. Restaurant food was a little on the pricey side We chose not to check in online - I prefer interaction with a person. That said, we stood for quite a while waiting to be greeted (just a holding "hello, I'll be with you in a minute" would have done) - the gent was stood right in front of us sorting out a booking/some sort of calculation.
Nice rooms - ours was compact and a little quirky - our double bathroom sink/vanity unit was in bedroom and doubled up as the tea/coffee station, but it worked - ish! Comfy bed, although ours was a little high - I may have needed a step if it was any higher! I'm average height. Great breakfast Good location, nice walks nearby if you have time

Nothing of significance. Separation of toilet light from room light would be good. Service was good but lacked a little warmth.
Lovely facilities and very nice food. Peaceful area with some nice walks.

My room was close to some kind of ventilation and the sound of it drove me a bit nuts. But everything else was gorgeous
The wonderful woman who greeted me and checked me in in the afternoon. I knew I would be very late returning and she got that all organised / informed the night porter etc

Only one little niggle the toilet in our suite had no light switch, it located in the adjoining bathroom so tricky to locate in the dark as the switch was behind a curtain.
We chose the Marquis because of its proximity to our son’s wedding venue. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. The restaurant for evening dinner offered a good range and everyone said how delicious the food was. My son (the groom) also had his dog with him and the staff were more than pleased to welcome her, in fact her photo is likely to appear on their website. On the morning of the wedding the ladies had to leave before breakfast and so we were given very nice packed breakfast- a bonus indeed. Guests for the wedding took over all 10 rooms over 3 nights, we would thoroughly recommend the Marquis.
