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 KingdomCoffee, tea etc. in a cupboard but no where to plug in the kettle so had to move everything. In a luxury room would expect a coffee maker or coffee bags and milk in the fridge. Only plug point on one side of the bed. Shower a bit awkward, situated on a side wall not in front, head needed descaling. Usually have have shower gel etc in large containers in the shower not small pots.
Breakfast was good, the location was good. Nice and quiet and comfortable.

United KingdomWe prefer a walk-in shower rather than over bath and it was waterfall style only which again our preference is for an adjustable height/hand held style. Bathroom fan didn’t seem very effective - bathroom got very hot and steamy.
Comfortable, spacious room in a great location. Friendly staff and good service.

United KingdomI think there was a towel on the side of the bath when I checked in, wasnt sure if it was used or not or forgotten about after the room was cleaned before I arrived, not a big deal. Couldnt find a plug socket for the kettle near a table so had to put kettle on the floor. Cups could be bigger (i.e. mugs).
EV charger, easy access from car park to receptoin, easy check in, nice rooms, love the patio from the room, nice surroundings, ceiling fan great for this weather, gym useful, restaurant service great, great selection of food, good price, nothing to complain about, check out easy and had company address on invoice, will def stay again. Good selection of minibar if needed.

United KingdomA plug near a mirror for the hairdryer might be useful. Quilt on bed perhaps a bit heavy for a summer stay, but that's being a bit fussy!!
Very friendly, and quick check in. Only serve food until 8pm on a Sunday, so we phoned in advance as we were hoping to arrive by about 7.45, having driven from Heathrow, and they arranged to have our order ready at 8pm, very considerate of them. Room comfortable, the ceiling fan was a bonus as it had been a warm day. Secure parking in the large car park behind the main building, electric chargers if you need one. Excellent breakfast, continental or a large full English. Hope to stay again when next in the area.
