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 StatesWe had problems with the TV. After asking for help, it worked, till the next time. A channel guide could have helped. Would have liked a small fridge for cold drinks. Small things. Nothing major.
We thought it an exceptionally attractive B&B. Smartly decorated in Retro style, bold colors and patterns. It is very clean and fresh, not tired. The Staff is very helpful and friendly and the Breakfasts were beautiful and delicious. Very comfortable. Loved our stay.

United StatesWe were on bottom floor and it’s very noisy. You can hear everyone walking around late at night/early in the morning, so it was not very restful. Room set up made it hard to settle in space comfortably.
I liked the breakfast and fresh baked cookies. Location was within walking distance to town. The modern decor is nice and like the different areas for guests to enjoy themselves on the property.

United StatesFor the price, we shouldn’t have had to park 2 blocks away because there were no parking spaces left in the lot or on the street and breakfast was a little thin for the price was well. Would I stay again, probably not
Comfy room and good communication for a late checkin. Nice patio for a breakfast snack. Decor was nice and Wi-Fi worked well

United StatesI would just offer more options for breakfast. Like half a breakfast sandwich since tapas style is offered.
This is my second time at the Gilded and it always ends up being a great stay. Location is perfect and the hotel itself is stunningly decorated. Breakfast is included and there is parking in the back.

United StatesThe room did not have adequate shelf space for clothing or toiletries. We needed to place items on tables and chairs. It was also very dark including the bathroom. Breakfast items were very limited, although the staff was kind enough to make me eggs when there was nothing on the, "small plates" for me to eat.
The location was very good. It was under a 10 minute walk to the center of town and many restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning was fine. The room was clean.

United StatesIt was pricey but I know that’s just the season market rate in the area.
Location was great. Place was very charming. I appreciated that they checked in during my stay to see how everything was. I also appreciated the texts ahead of time for parking information. Also the homemade cookies provided to guests were incredibly delicious! The bed was really comfortable, I could’ve slept in it all day.

GermanyThe breakfast was strange and not tasty. The coffee was undrinkable. The sofa bed was not made up on arrival as requested, however the staff did make the bed when we asked. The sofa bed, however, was extremely uncomfortable. There was no light next to the bed. The price was very high for such a small room. We needed to extend our stay by one night and were not in the mood to pack and change hotels. The hotel offered us a 30$ discount on the second night. However when I saw my bill, it was about $50 MORE expensive than the first night. Their explanation: the rate changes on a daily basis. They should have told us this in advance, however. Even though we extended our stay in the morning, the staff never cleaned our room that day. When I asked about it, they said it was my fault for not putting up a "please clean room" sign. However there was no indication that this was required. Even when I asked if they could clean the room (at about 5pm), they just handed us some new towels. The rest was up to us. The location was OK but you need a car to get to anything of interest in Newport. Nothing is walkable from the house.
Cute house, stylish entry way, pleasant breakfast room, nice lounge area, peaceful courtyard, easy parking in front.

United StatesThe room was extremely small for a queen suite. The worse part was that we could not control the heat and were up all night because it was so hot. The gentleman at the front desk said they either have heat or A/C and it was time for the heat to go on. The weekend we were up there was warm, but it would have been nice for them to switch to A/C. Even with the window open, we roasted. It was very unpleasant sleeping. We did not even stay the second night.
The breakfast was delicious and the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Also, the coffee was delicious!
