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 breakfast was good - the restaurant had already set a very high standard with dinner the previous night. The room was clean, comfortable, seemed recently decorated and while not huge made very good use of the space available. The staff at the Swan were accommodating and helpful during the booking process and during our visit.

United KingdomThe only down side of the bedroom was limited desk space. Had arranged for earlier access to breakfast room which unfortunately didn't happen and only opened at 8am, which made we a little late, but the breakfast was worth it!
Good location for following days 1st meeting, room was small but very comfy, bonus having air conditioning, great shower. Food was unusual but having tapas for evening meal was quite enjoyable and a break from the normal offerings. Breakfast was lovely start to day.

United StatesLights from outside the room do get past the blinds and we had to sleep with our eye masks on in order to block out the light. Also took a long time for us to figure out how to lock the door (which sounds silly but it required a bit more than just turning the key to get it to lock).
Well situated room on the bus line that we used to get to our dinner location. Very small room, but that was fine for our quick stay. Breakfast was interesting (a slight twist to the full english) and parking was limited but we were able to get a spot due to arriving a bit earlier.

South AfricaNothing not to like. Only the bed in our unit needs to be checked as it is a bit lopsided, but it wasn't terrible. And the rooms are a bit small but not unusual for the UK.
Beautiful accommodations - modern and clean, well maintained premises. Location is great - beautiful green surroundings. It's also easy to catch a taxi or Uber from there. Lovely atmosphere created by the staff and regular patrons from the community - we found people warm, welcoming and helpful. The food was great! Breakfast was a treat and the coffee is absolutely lovely! One of my best and I'm a stickler for good coffee in the morning! The neighbourhood is safe and the air is so clean!.Easy check in and check out process. We loved our stay and will be back for sure!

United KingdomHeating system was a bit of a challenge, and no instructions in the room. Power points but no USB sockets. Shower excellent on 'overhead' but the knob to hold the handheld attachment not working.
Superb breakfast! Most unusual (for me) to have a vegetarian breakfast, but it really was unexpectedly good. Included softly cooked red peppers, mushrooms, an entire avocado (thinly sliced) and lovely (rustic) toast, as well as the usual eggs, etc, cooked any way you want. Traditional breakfast also available, of course. Room quilt was lovely and warm. WiFi good.
