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 KingdomThere was one bath towel for a couple. We didn't ask another one as we didn't use it.
Located right in the middle of the town center, close to renowened cafes and restaurants. From the moment we checked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The pub was a fantastic spot, offering delicious local good. As for the room, it was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Every possible amenity was thoughtfully provided. Also there is a great bakery opposite the place. Highly recommended!

United KingdomI think the only minor issue was the curtains, they were very heavy and I found them a bit difficult to pull but it was a very minor issue.
The room was big and the bed really comfortable. Really good big shower. The location was perfect. The breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked and the lady in the restaurant was exceptional.

United KingdomThe rooms are tired, we chose not to use the shower or bath in room 5 as it really was poor. It had been cleaned and was 100% clean. Unfortunately, GreeneKing must visit this place so they can see what they own and offer. They also need to personally recognise everyone who works so hard to protect their brand and deliver a great customer experience. GreeneKing, please listen and step up
The staff are the true champions that hold this place together. For example, some rooms can not get the hotel Interner to stable and usable level. Staff who live on site let you use their private WiFi at no cost but to make you happy and the hotel look good. Absolutely, this level of quality staff and loyalty is repeated at all levels throughout the hotel.

United KingdomNo on site parking, although public car park was only a few minutes walk away. Very steep staircase with no lift, and the room was too small to be comfortable for a longer stay; no wardrobe and limited storage space. The food was nothing exceptional, typical pub grub and limited menu.
It was clean and comfortable. Ideal for a few nights, and within easy reach of everything we needed. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was good.
