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.).

NetherlandsThere was almost nothing we didn't like. If I have to name one thing then it is the rather small locker for storing clothes.
The Inn has a high service grade. We got an upgrade, they have free to grab coffee and freshly baked cookies in the afternoon. Also their staff knows what true service is, amongst others C.J, and they keep the rooms and facilities very clean. Finally, we loved the free to use bikes.

LuxembourgLoud works (sledgehammer / percussion tools / loud workers) were in progress in reception building and around the whirlpool/ laundry room / pool area. Laundry and whirlpool were thus closed, unfortunately! We were planning on having a nap before heading out for the evening, but it was too loud. Nothing indicated these works when booking. They’re improving/ renovating. When these will be done, the Franciscan will be even nicer!
Lovely property, well tended to. It’s organised like a motel with 2 or 3 small buildings with their parking lots and small patios / courtyards. Nice!Friendly staff (nice welcome by BEN!). Though they seemed a bit overwhelmed by the significant renovation works going on in the property. I get it, renovations can be chaotic. Our room looked like if had been renovated very recently. Brand new! Absolutely clean and comfortable! The interior design is minimalistic but functional and cosy. The furniture does not look very sturdy and expensive, but it does the job and I felt like at home. Beautiful bathroom, even if a bit small. Plenty of pressure and warm water. Nicest fluffy towels! Our suite (free upgrade) did not have much of a view, but plenty of light and room. Excellent bed, like sleeping on a cloud. The TV works simply with your mobile to watch Youtube/Netflix. Heater / AC worked well to manage the room temperature. Easy parking on their parking lot. Nice location, very convenient, safe and quiet.

United StatesThe noise travels really easily so I recommend ear plugs and the wifi signal wasn’t super strong if you need to work remotely. We loved the hot tub it just should have been a little warmer
It was so adorable and the people working there were so kind! There were bike rentals that were included in your stay (for under 2 hours) and you could walk to many restaurants and bars as well as the ocean!

United StatesPerhaps more color in the room- to warm it up a bit..... Oh! a full length mirror on the closet door would be nice.
The staff, Elaina and Ben were very helpful and friendly- enjoyed talking to them. Loved the room location- 101! Wished the pool and hot tub were closer to each other, but understand how that happened. Had some trouble figuring out the faucets in the bathtub- there is no hot or cold signage- which way to turn knobs- over the days learned how to make it work. I would definitely stay here again and recommend.

Location is great - able to walk to beach, wharf and Main Street. The staff were super friendly and helpful, providing heaps of information and there was coffee, fruit and fresh cookies available in lobby, which just added that extra warmth to the hotel.

SwedenCosy motel in a good location, walking distance from State street and close to the sea. Stayed a double king. Renovared room that was bright and fresh. The mattress for the main room king bed needs to be replaced though - it made all kinds of squeaky noises and was not comfortable. They have a decent size pool and a jacuzzi. They are not in the same place though (2 min walk across the premises). Friendly staff.
