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.).

BelgiumBreakfast was okay but not expectational. It can be noisy from very early as it's right next to the main roads (in front and behind, but you only hear form the front). That said, lovely building, lovely rooms, nice linen.

United KingdomDidn't feel like the room or breakfast matched the price we payed. Was expecting a bit higher quality and more facilities.
The staff so friendly and helpful, made it a very nice and relaxed atmosphere. Such a beautiful outlook from the inn over the water.

United KingdomHotel entrance had moved since our last visit, bit confusing finding reception, felt strange right next to the bar. Room service was a bit erratic, with bed make up and towel changing.
Good food and good service. Hotel had changed somewhat since our last visit. Room was fine. Friendliness of the staff was impressive especially in the dining room.

United KingdomOnly one chair in the bedroom so one of us had to sit on the bed to watch the TV. The access to our bedroom was via multiple set of stairs and due to our age (80, but not disabled) we struggled to carry our suitcases that distance. We tried the lift, but became trapped in it for about 10 minutes. After release the lift was out of action for the rest of our stay. The staff were very good and helpful in releasing us from the lift once they discovered we were trapped. The instructions in the lift were somewhat confusing as to how to set the alarm off. The car parking is abysmal.
The dining room and the meals were very good. The staff were very obliging and cheerful and the response to our needs. The room was comfortable and clean.

New ZealandThe stairs! We had big bags and found it difficult with no elevator - they did change our room to the first floor when I mentioned how hard it would be though.
Almost everything about this property is incredible - location, people, facilities, rooms. The service was fantastic and we had wait staff at the restaurant giving us suggestions at what to see, which was appreciated.

United Arab EmiratesNo drinking water in room or minibar. No phone to contact reception. Not accommodating for prior request for kids to be near parents rooms. Can add board games to their bar/restaurant which is a great place otherwise.
Great location, gr3at views from skme rooms, good bfast. Good size of and view from my room. However. Same superior category other room was tiny. Also 3rd room with kids was given at other end of hotel Inspite of early and several requests.i also offered to pay but they couldn't change kids room which was literally the last and farthest room compared to mine which was the first. Was it because it was not booked directly thru their site? Or just an oversize by one of their staff? I would recommend as well as go back but have to be careful and get written confirmation on rooms allocated.
