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 KingdomJust a shame it’s noisy & a bit to light in the rooms in the morning could do with darker curtains.
The staff were very friendly & helpful, and lovely food.

United KingdomRoom was too warm but this wasn’t helped by the thunderstorms rolling in and increasing the temperature. A minor quibble.
Staff were absolutely brilliant. Very helpful and friendly. Even offering to gut some fish we’d caught and refrigerate them for us.

United StatesOur room faced the road, therefore, was noisy until about 2230. The second night, we bought a small fan and kept the windows closed. Much more peaceful.
The staff were professional and very friendly. The food was excellent and very reasonable. Would definitely recommend the Swan Inn to others.

United KingdomThe only slight negative was quality of towels which weren’t very absorbent for drying off after shower.
Comfortable clean room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good central location with parking although parking a little limited and not guaranteed. The highlight was the food, both evening meal and breakfast were excellent and we were impressed. Not sure if they cook every evening so check beforehand.

United KingdomIf I'm being ultra fussy the bed was a tiny bit squeaky but comfortable to sleep in. The pillows were huge and fluffy.
I have never felt more comfortable in a b&b. The lady helped with my suitcase up and on the way out. Everything was explained like I was an individual. Friendly talk, but also left in peace. The breakfast was amazing. There were options available, I asked for items not to be added so my photo isn't the standard and I was stuffed. Toast, local jams and butter. Best bacon I've ever eaten. I will definitely stay again.

United KingdomCould've done with a small desk/table, although the room's size didn't allow for it. (This may just be a personal preference.) The outside street, which my room overlooked, was quite busy overnight, which made for a slightly disruptive sleep, but besides that, I slept well.
Staff were very accommodating and friendly throughout the whole stay. Definitely made to feel welcome and as if one were staying at another's home. Heating was efficient and kept me warm overnight. Breakfast, which was included in the nightly rate, was quite extravagant and filling. I had a full English breakfast with a pot of tea and a pitcher of orange juice. I could've probably packed what I didn't eat for a lunch takeaway!

United KingdomTowels were thin, the radiator was slow to work, and it needed bleeding as it was only warm at the bottom on one side. Corridors were cold and sensor lights only came on after ascending the stairs.
Staff were more than helpful and went above and beyond. Food at the Ugly Duckling Restaurant was amazing and well worth the wait. The restaurant was part of the hotel and very warm and welcoming. Room was clean and tidy. There were two chairs which was nice, plus a refreshment tray.
