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 KingdomMy single room was very small, particularly the en suite. The disused soap dispenser needs to be removed as it is in the way. It is impossible to splash water on your face from the basin.
Being an old hotel, I was expecting poor maintenance and therefore pleasantly surprised to find all in all the hotel was well presented. Excellent breakfast.

IrelandConditioner for showers would have been nice, only shampoo provided. Also, not really the hotels fault but trying to cross the road in front of the hotel is a nightmare. There’s no pedestrian crossings and it’s rather dangerous.
Breakfast was nice to have included with the stay, food was tasty, tables were well set and staff very friendly. Emerald bar staff also lovely, gave us jugs of water to take up to room rather than charging us for bottles, was very appreciated. Rooms were also nicely cleaned upon return to hotel.

United KingdomThere wasn’t much of an atmosphere in the hotel due to the lack of guests. There was little incentive to stay in hotel itself any longer than necessary. The bed mattress was old and soft and kept ‘bowing’ btowards the centre. Hard to get a good nights sleep
The breakfast was fine and plentiful.

United KingdomThere was nowhere to hang clothes apart from a hanger on the back of the bathroom door (but I would not have swapped the fridge for a wardrobe!) The front doors were locked at 8 pm and access after that was by key fob with a phone number if any problem. It probably won’t bother most people but as an elderly female solo traveller I prefer somewhere I can just walk in until 9pm or so.
Excellent location opposite the pier. Room was clean and comfortable, recently decorated, sea view. A fridge was provided in the room which great in the hot weather.

United KingdomThe door had a gap on the floor, it didn't feel comfortable, someone can just peek from the outside, I had to put my suitcase and cover it. There was a bell tolling every now and then and also there was a loud music from the outside of the hotel on Saturday night, sounds like a bar or something. I hardly had sleep on my last night.
The location was good. The room is enough space for one person, also had a good view of the pier.

United Kingdom'Sea view' was mostly a view of the pier. The breakfast was one of the worst I ever ate in a hotel/bnb. Boiled mushrooms with a tonne of salt, hash browns that were cooked on the outside but still frozen in the middle, low quality egg, beans kind of sour like they had vinegar in them. Wouldn't bother spending the extra tenner if I were you, just go to a cafe nearby. Other than that, hotel was alright.
I slept like a baby, and I usually can't sleep well in hotels. Decor and cleanliness was fine, not an outstanding hotel but perfectly fine for a few nights and the price was OK for the South.
