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 room was dirty, marks all over the walls and dirty handprints, grease marks all over it. There was a large gap at the bottom of our door which I could fit my hand under, the door handle was broke,the door looked as if it had been kicked it a few times. The base of the bed was torn. The tv didn’t switch on no remote control, there was no soap either in room or shared bathroom. We couldn’t use the bathroom as it was filthy and blocked. Didn’t knw where another bathroom was had to wonder all up and down stairs to find one. Glad it was only 1night .

United KingdomWe stayed in number 10 and the main issue was that the bed needs to be replaced immediately. You are practically sleeping on springs and they feel as though they are coming through the mattress. Further to this the actually bed and the supporting base under the mattress is broken causing the bed to not be supported adequately and leading to a really uncomfortable sleep. Another issue is perhaps the number of plug sockets available in the room. They are all near the door which makes it difficult when wanting to use appliances if in bed. The positioning of the bed means you can’t access the cupboard to store things in and the door to the room is really inconvenient to the bend in the wall. I understand it sleeps for but realistically the double bed should be a single or another set of bunkbeds to allow the rooms speakers to be used better.
For the price of the property you can not expect a high level of service or quality. I think the location is very good and handy. The staff where characters and really helpful although there may have needed to be a bit greater organisation as it left me and my party a bit precarious to some of the conversations that occurred between them. The communal shower was warm and provided a nice shower. The tiles could do with being cleaned in greater detail.
