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.).

AustraliaNoise - Our room was right at the front along the busy road, and the windows are not double-glazed, so it was very noisy from the cars at night while trying to go to sleep. Location - too far to walk to the city centre, which we didn't realise. Uber is available though. Parking - there's only minimal parking available outside specific rooms, so it might be a challenge when the hotel is busy. It's also a bit tricky accessing the entrance by car when unfamiliar. Coffee maker - it would be nicer if a nespresso pod machine (or similar) was available instead of a kettle.
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We were surprised with a free room-upgrade upon arrival. Bed was very comfortable, and it was nice having a lounge area to sit at our TV. Great bathroom, but a little annoying that the door has to be locked in order for it to shut.

The inside of the rooms was amazing. The outside of the rooms were a bit tired, especially the stairs to the first story units.

CanadaThe setting was quaint and country looking, we were disappointed with our room, while it was clean, it was obvious it was in need of some repairs and upgrading but don't let this discourage anyone from staying at this hotel as we observed many rooms that were in great condition.
We were excited to stay at the Cotswold, the location was perfect to explore the city by car or a good walk if you want to get your steps in for the day.

United KingdomThe continental breakfast was good, all the food was fresh and well presented. However, the cooked breakfast could have been better, everything had been in the heated trays too long, the beans were burnt around the edges of the tray, scrambled eggs were watery and the bacon was very dry.
Aine on reception was fantastic, she was welcoming, friendly and provided excellent service each time we spoke with her.
