How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Carpets need shampooing.
Location very good. The decoration and furniture is old and could do with refreshing, but the bed was comfortable and everything (apart from carpet) was very clean. Breakfast was satisfactory.

Difficult to get hold of a staff member when we arrived and when we left. Room really needs to be redecorated and could have done with bedside lights.
Cooked breakfast very good. No cereals. Would have been nice to have Earl Grey tea available but I suppose they were trying to keep costs down. Excellent restaurant. Meal in evening was superb, excellent onion bahji and naan. Wonderful taste and huge portions. Gurha beer good. Lovely views from back room. Comfortable bed and tea coffee facilities good.

The property needs some tlc in places, dated decor throughout. Our room had wallpaper peeling away, double matress noisey as you moved around, net curtains in poor condition. The breakfast option is very limited to cooked only,.which was basic. We weren't offered any alternative. I.e cereal, fruit etc. Its ok for the price you pay.
Room size was good, shower had good pressure and temperature, clean. staff very attentative and friendly, great location. Evening meal in the restaraunt was nice ... Cobra beer on draught !

The room felt a little small, but it was adequate. And has an en-suite and tv. So no complaints I would just pay for a bigger room next time.
The room was clean and tidy, we ate at the restaurant which is all part of the same place. The food was exceptional and staff were very friendly. Breakfast in the morning was excellent too. Will definitely be staying there again when we return.

Phone signal unreliable. Room decor needs an update. Toilet cistern leaked a little. Dreadful snoring ALL NIGHT from room next door!
Lovely friendly staff throughout - great restaurant and bar area (good breakfast too). Rooms were fine in terms of size and temp. Nice view out of the back of the hotel. Big free car park. It’s a bit in the middle of nowhere but ok for what we wanted.

Not much not to like, wished I'd had a evening meal as it looked really appetising and was well attended but I'd eaten at the races beforehand.
Good location, free parking, decent breakfast, good price.

A side light would have been nice but I appreciate lack of space. Some spare toilet roll in the room would have been appreciated. If it was there, it wasn't obvious.
The bed was very comfortable. Room was lovely and warm. Had everything I needed.

We did not have time for breakfast. However, their breakfast time is very tight, 7.30 to 8.30 and they ask for the exact time you will be in for breakfast. A bit odd. TV kept losing the signal.
Good location and friendly staff. Room was vey clean.
