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.).

AustraliaReception isn't staffed all the time. Fair enough. But please answer the bell when its pressed. Had to search out staff for help to leave bags/checkin/checkout/collect bags. I know the room was cleaned as there was a strong bleach smell which never really dispersed. No ability to make a cuppa. Mini fridge barely cool. Unusual bathroom setup. Shower one side of small balcony and tiolet and hand basin other side.
Bed was very comfortable.

United KingdomWhen we booked in was told breakfast was free. Next morning went down for breakfast and was told by the same person that it was €10. For that price it was ok but need to make sure you get the food and drinks in the order you want it. No tea facilities in room which were advertised and toiletries poor.
Location was very good very central for bars restaurants old town and the bus station. Very close to port.

United KingdomSafe didn't work, receptionist couldn't get it to either. Have stayed here before and it was the case then - don't they think it's important? It is to us. Fridge seemed to be bust too but didn't need it so not mentioned. Access is through their restaurant and a bit tricky with heavy luggage.
Not much choice at this price in the centre so good value. Rooms well presented. Had superior room 3rd floor which has lovely balcony built into roof.

United KingdomOn arrival the receptionist seemed quite rude, this may have been due to language barrier though as we speak no portugese. Some staff were often on their mobile phones. We drove a hire car to the hotel and parking was a nightmare. The tourist centre however pointed us to a nearby free car park which was perfect.
The hotel was in a great location, right next to the marina and tourist centre. The room was clean and spacious and the bed was comfy. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good value for money. We stayed here for 2 nights and would stay again.

NetherlandsOverall we had a pleasant stay at the hotel. However, there are small details in the room that could have made our stay more pleasant. The bathroom needs a bit of care, as toilet holder is not well fixed to the wall, there was also a little shelf in the bathroom that was also not well mounted (and tilted). There was an odor coming out of the shower sink -- we asked for the cleaning persons to have a look at that and they promptly helped us. However, the odor came back on the following day. Another issue is that the hotel is above a restaurant and there is a very strong smell of fried fish throughout the corridors and all day long.
We arrived very late (1am) and there were people at the reception to check us in. The staff at the reception was very helpful during our stay, providing everything we asked promptly (cutlery, a glass). The room was clean and the hotel has an excellent location.

United StatesThe few steps into the lobby made entry with luggage awkward, but there was an elevator to access the rooms.
Owners understood immediately that we were reserving for a night before our morning arrival from overseas so there would be a bed waiting for us. Check-in was fast and the room was quiet so we could sleep. The location is handy for sightseeing, restaurants, etc, but the hotel is very quiet. The restaurant is convenient.

Very central location and easy walk to the train station. Our room was large and the bed comfortable. Our room was quiet and no noise at all to disturb our sleep. Shower was good but the water escaped from the shower tray onto bathroom floor. We only stayed one night and left at 630am to catch an early morning train. It was adequate for our short stay.

Very quite great for a good night sleep and still a very central location with loads of restaurants, right in front of the marina.
