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 KingdomOnly thing was the bed was just a standard double and a little small but that's a really minor thing and not really a gripe.
Really friendly and welcoming staff, beautiful hotel and the location was perfect being right on the coast and a nice stroll down to the main harbour and town.

We were travelling down for a family funeral and the hotel had our room ready in time for early check in to allow us to freshen up and change. Everyone was welcoming. Hotel was clean. Room was lovely and bed was comfy. Breakfast was amazing, just struggled with the cup of tea both in the room and restaurant

United KingdomHotel fantastic. Just a heads up, the electric charging point at the hotel had a petrol car parked in the bay the whole of our stay, presume the charging point was in working order. Couldn’t find a working electric charging point for miles (plenty of 'out of order' ones) which was very stressful.
Clean, modern room. Lovely bathroom. Great breakfast and bar.

United KingdomThe breakfast service was awful. No hot food, not enough staff, we were not offered the hot menu only the buffet and there was no hot food. Why were we different to other guests? Other tables were offered this. There were no plates or orange juice. I spoke to the reception who didn't even apologise. Very poor service for a plus hotel.

United KingdomThe walls are paper thin. My 12 year old son had to hear a full out session of a couple which is something I would rather not have heard so explicitly while walking down the hall. It was rather embarrassing. On that same note, in the evening when we were trying to relax, it sounded like the television in the next room was actually on in our room.
This hotel was very much value for money. The building is beautiful, the parking was easy, the staff were pleasant and the rooms were very clean. Much of Folkestone was walking distance although driving was necessary as well.
