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 KingdomRoom got a tad hot but we just opened the door a wee bit and it was fine 🙂
On arrival we had a really warm welcome as a member of staff was on site. Getting the info for the lock box was prompt and easy to get into the room when we got there. Very modern rooms, bathroom was lovely, amazing shower (especially after a 5 hour drive) Lots of different teas and coffees and a porridge and pastry for brekky which was great 👍 Would definitely recommend getting a balcony room as it was wonderful to sit out and look at the scenery. Very quiet and peaceful. Very comfy bed! Would 100% recommend

United KingdomRestaurants/Bar could have been open which would have been beneficial to us, we had to drive to co-op which was full of traffic, however this wasn’t a major issue and was explained on the website fully.
Brilliant location, fantastic views, easy to get in to and included a contactless check in which was great for when we arrived in late and didn’t want to bother anyone else. We stayed for Slam Dunk North and had brilliant location in order to drive to the festival.

United KingdomUnfortunately our room was without a view, but the biggest issue with the room was that it was just too hot. There was a desk fan supplied, which we did use, but the heat was stiffling and made the room very uncomfortable to sleep. The windows were small and didn't allow for much air movement.
Communication was good and the instructions to find the room were easy to follow. The room itself was nice. The bathroom was lovely, although the extractor fan didn't work. Fabulous shower. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and tidy. There were breakfast items left for us along with tea and coffee, which was a lovely touch.

CanadaUnfortunately there was no other facilities (restaurants or even bus stops) around the property. To get to anything a taxi had to be used if you have no vehicle.
Hotel room and staff were all very good.

The manager lyndsey was fab, excellent at communicating and keeping us up to date. Was able to check in early on request. Rooms clean, modern and comfortable, complimentary water and snacks. Beds nice and soft and lovely linen, there was also fans in the room as it was quite hot the weekend we booked. The bathrooms were lovely and modern too. Great outside beer garden area to sit and relax in looking over the valley. £6 for a uber into Sowerby Bridge
