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 StatesThe food was spectacular and the chef was most accommodating asking what time I wanted to be served breakfast and had everything laid out the next morning! The whole staff was so welcoming and lovely to chat with. I was taken aback as to how beautiful the room was! Loved my stay, would definitely recommend.

United KingdomBooking apparently not received from Booking.com. Special request for a desk suitable for working on and good lighting was confirmed by Booking.com but not received by hotel. The room was well lit in daytime but there was no desk. Room clean but fixtures and fittings were tired. No breakfast available and none available in the town.
Very close to the railway station.

United KingdomMy third stay here but sadly it has significantly gone down hill over the last few years. No breakfast available but this was not clear at time of booking, as my "special request" was an early breakfast in order to get to my event on time. I had no response to say there was no breakfast. I emailed the hotel the week before to check what time they stopped serving food and was told 9PM. I asked them to book me a table for 8:45 as I thought time might be tight getting back from my event but received no response. I was therefore surprised to be told, on arrival at 8:30, that the kitchen closed at 8:40. The food was basic but wholesome, although half the menu was "off". The room was generally adequate although the mattress was a little lumpy and one of the bedside lights didn't work. In the bathroom, the handbasin was cracked. The shelf above was leaning forward off the wall, so presumably guests had put items on the shelf which had then fallen into the sink. The shower unit was very small with an overhead shower, so a freezing cold initial shower was unavoidable.
Good location. Handy for Goodwood. Parking on site. Badger ales, although my second pint was just on the turn.

United KingdomThe bedroom was so noisy from boiler central heating it was impossible to sleep despite being told by the manager this stops at night it doesn’t.! Shower was blocked . This was the apartment and the fridge has terrible smell as it’s as turned off with door shut . If you don’t need to sleep or shower you’ll be fine.
Location was close to other facilities . There was no breakfast, dinner was available but didn’t risk it.
