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 place was freezing cold when we arrived, despite clearly having an adequate central heating system.
Plenty of parking space. I can't comment on the staff as we saw nobody.

United KingdomPeople coming back late can be a bit noisy, people above us seemed like they were running around. Not the properties fault tbf. The roads to the place are quite challenging. Expect to have to squeeze past another car, or be comfortable reversing.
Good parking, nice clean room, nice bathroom

United KingdomSee above.
The hotel was booked on the premise that there was a restaurant and bar as indicated on their blurb. An hour before leaving home we were told that no such facilities were available but we could get a full refund. That news came too late for us to consider that option so we had to make do with what was available. The room was very good, spotlessly clean and well supplied with soaps, etc. The hotel must have known well before they told us that there was no catering so it was rather cynical to leave the advice until it was too late to make alternative arrangements. Won’t go there again, which is a pity.

United KingdomThere was no breakfast option at that time, it’s a bit ‘out of the way’ up a really steep hill with narrow lanes.
Rooms were really good. The key handover is a good idea. We were all very pleased with our choice. Free parking was an added bonus.

United KingdomSecure key lock spring is very strong and struggled to open it. This'll probably change after time, as it was new.
Large room that had a desk and a comfy chair to work at. WiFi signal was strong and easy to connect. Comfy bed and duvet with controllable radiator. Room 20 was on the ground floor with access right up to the door for anyone with specific access requirements, a large bathroom & walk in shower. Support rails and wall mounted seat. I'd stay again if in.the area.

United KingdomFor us a mini fridge in the room would have been great. As the restaurant/bar wasn’t open at the start of January, we had bought some food and drink for breakfast/evening drinks. It was 3 degrees outside so we ended up putting it out in the balcony which was fine in the end!
The room had an easy self check in system. The bed was extremely comfy and the view from the room was lovely.
