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 KingdomRoom needed bedside tables, mirror, hooks for coats. A bit of colour on the walls would make a big difference. The garden could be beautiful with not much effort and an asset to the hotel. A bigger fridge would be beneficial in the communal area if it is meant for the use of the whole hotel.
Felt safe. Parking outside for around 5/6 cars. Staff pleasant. Liked free tea/coffee making facilities.

United StatesI stayed for 2 weeks in a single room. In the UK single rooms can be sized for 1 person so it’s very small and really only ok for just a short stay. The room had a private bathroom but the shower was tiny and it was hard to move around in it. The water and electric were taken offline for several hours after a short area outage and the heating system was a bit hit and miss. I think these are just teething issues for a new system.
This looks like a recently renovated hotel, so it looks good inside. Room was clean. Location is good for what I wanted. Staff were very pleasant and accommodating.

United KingdomIt was stated that free parking would be available on site. What they should have added was, its on a first come, first served basis. There was none available, and I ended up having to find street parking. The room was baking hot, and although we were provided with a fan, it must have been faulty because it tripped the entire circuit, leaving us without electricity for several hours before it was rectified. No attempt from staff to compensate us for the inconvenience. There was a faint smell of stale cigarette odour in the room and the pillows, which were of poor quality, making it difficult to sleep well. I opened the bathroom cabinet, and the fixtures gave way, and the door was hanging loose. No option for breakfast even though it was advertised as a B&B.
Easy, speedy check It was modern and decorated to a good standard. Free teas and coffees and access to a lounge area and garden.

United KingdomThe back where the terrace is looks apocalyptic. Even just mowing the lawn would help. Also, there was a screaming Fox every night in the back.
The hotel is as you'd expect for budget. Small, kinda rickety from the outside, creaky and shared facilities like shower and hot drinks. Kinda halfway between a hostel and hotel. The things the place can control like customer service, WIFI and cleanliness were top notch.
