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 KingdomThey only make-up the rooms if one remembers to request it through hanging the right message on the doorknob, which was indeed explained to us but it's easy to forget and end up with too many towels but no mint chocolate and having to make our own bed :-) It's not walkable to town, but getting taxis was easy.
The original house has been very nicely done up as a hotel, with the greenery of the park all around. The staff were very pleasant and cheerful, with one coming out to meet us and open the door when we arrived. They made an effort to accommodate us when we checked-in early. They also gave recommendations on where to go and what to do. They carried bags up the stairs, which makes a difference when if there's no lift! The restaurant was excellent, with a good vibe.

United KingdomThe bar area is very small for the amount of guests the hotel can accommodate. There wasn't much in terms of seating. The outside seating area is nice but not so good in cold weather - and smokers were under the canopy so we didn't sit under there. We did wait for 55 minutes for our starters to be brought to us - there was a party of 17 behind us who ordered before us so i assume there was a delay due to the party size.
On arrival, we were offered a complementary upgrade to our room (junior suite), which was beautifully decorated. The man who checked us in was the perfect host and very helpful (I didnt catch his name). The dinner we pre-booked was lovely, well cooked and well presented and the young waiter we had was so very polite and attentive (i didnt catch his name either but he was very young with excellent manners). The breakfast was also very nice and the service was attentive.

United KingdomThe quality of the work of your painter and decorators particularly the finish round the skirting boards in the toilet of 126 is pretty poor and sloppy. The wall paper in the dining room has been badly hung by the chimney breast in the breakfast room turning L on entrance. It’s such a beautiful and well maintained old building these little things stand out.
Everything. I treated myself after travelling down for minor eye surgery. My stay with you and the surgery were a great success!
