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 KingdomI loved it all. Amazing staff, amazing views, and would expect the price to be a lot higher for what they offer. Couldn't be happier. Thank you all!
The staff were amazing. Let us check in early without any issues as the room was empty already. All our needs were met, and all the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. Couldn't thank them enough.

United KingdomIt wasn't clear you needed to ring a bell to gain entry to the building, no sign and the bell was on an outer door. The shower riser rail in our room was completely detached from the wall and needed fixing. The only plug sockets were not near the mirror so not good for hair styling. Hanging space not long enough to hang a dress. One shower towel each provided but no other towels, a hand towel would have been good. Minor things bit would have made good excellent.
A decent price and the room was clean and warm. There was a fridge in the room, shower gel, shampoo and body lotion. Plenty of tea, coffee and milk.

United KingdomUnfortunately there were quite a few spots ( blood and whatnot) on the bedding. The sheets were clean but you could see through. When we arrived (on Friday afternoon) we saw a can of jack and coke on the front window and there were a few tea bags in the front garden ( some lovely guest left it there I’m guessing) .. but nobody removed it until the Sunday morning. Not really important to our stay, sure, but didn’t give a nice vibe.
Property is right on the promenade. Is about a kilometre from the centre, which was perfect for us because we don’t like to be in noisy areas. Has a few cafes, a bakery and few bars within 10 min walk. Tv and WiFi woking well. The reception guy was friendly.
