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 KingdomA bit of noise from within the hotel as we were right near the bar although that finished at 11 prompt and squeaky floorboards from adjoining rooms but to be expected from such an old building
Arrived early so reception allowed us to leave our luggage until check in and also on day of departure. Friendly and helpful staff and a nice bar

United KingdomI didn’t mention to hotel that my Daughter is under physio for her knees so a second flight of stairs to our room was a bit of a task. We did only stay one night though so she only had to climb and descend once. Mainstream TV channels very limited, could only find 1,2,3,4. Maybe I wasn’t using control correctly. Neither of above spoilt our break at all as we were only looking to sleep and shower.
Originally reason for selection was for Location. We were able to drop our luggage and go off and explore. Room was lovely, comfortable and clean. Bathroom large with fantastic waterfall shower. Amazing breakfast. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomNothing the Pied Bull can do about this, but it was town centre and there were late night/early morning revellers, but that is to be expected, it’s the same in the Market Town where I live.
Location, right in middle of town, 24 hour car park a minute away, easy check in, lovely well appointed room, clean, everything you need for a weekend away was available. Would defiantly recommend and would come back

Isle of ManWe have upgraded room, for bigger room, but the room wasn’t as big. Get very loud at night time, as the hotel is right next to pubs. Definitely needed ear plugs for comfortable sleep. Bed comfy, but again to small for 2 larger people.
