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.).

Whimsical decor, warm and welcoming hosts, and above all, incredible breakfasts - home made yoghurt, the best fluffiest omelette ever, my first Dutch baby, the TLC that goes into every tiny detail, down to fresh hazelnuts with the granola and crispiest yet fluffy and perfectly salted fries to go with your eggs. TQ Alan n Russell!!

I stayed in the pink room, and the bed was so comfy only the delicious breakfast could take me out of it. Definitely recommend staying at Hotel Lola and would be back ! Thank you the lovely stay !

OmanVery good price point and still very close to VA waterfront, 2min drive or a few minutes walk. Russel was very attentive and responsive on booking.com messenger! The breakfast was really great, 2nd time in my life that I had an Omelette like this, just awesome. The arrival snacks and wine was a nice touch, thank you. The room and facilities are more than enough and still very private, interesting and unique decor, much attention to detail!

SwitzerlandLola is filled with so much personality and character. It feels like I’ve stepped into someone’s home. Well it is in a way, a home away from home. The property is only 4 months old but already feels so comfortable and lived in. Russell and Alan were incredible hosts, hospitality at its finest . The breakfast was glorious: granola, fruit, yogurt and juices to start, and a surprise main everyday - be sure to try their homemade chutneys! I’ve stayed here a total of 2.5 nights (on separate occasions) and I will definitely be back again.

Australia-
Just amazing hosts- thoughtful and beyond helpful. The food was exquisite, the rooms immaculately clean, the hotel quirky and unique. We borrowed the hotel driver and Lino took us to Cape Point, Langa the black township, Bo Kaap, penguin beach, botanical gardens and multiple other places of interest. The hotel rooms are furnished with refurbished antiques which makes the rooms unique but also excludes a tv (thankfully!) and offers a bath instead of a shower which really allows you to slow down. Really excellent experience.

South AfricaWe were lucky enough to get the off street parking but the area is a bit of a safety concern late at night so off street parking or the nearby parking arcade is recommended. WE only had a bath in our room which was a bit of a constraint as it uses quite a bit of water and even though we had a shallow bath the water was not particularly warm. Otherwise bedroom and other general amenities were great. We will be back.
Great hosts and very hospitable. Fantastic Breakfast - definitively worthwhile.. Would have stated another night if we had the time.

GermanyThat we could not stay longer ;)
I had an incredible experience staying at Hotel Lola, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Russel and Adam, were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, going above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. Lino was another standout member of the staff, always going out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast at Hotel Lola was a highlight of my stay, with a delicious and elaborately prepared spread of options each morning. I was impressed with the attention to detail. The hotel's decoration was absolutely lovely, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. It was evident that the owners had put a lot of thought and care into every aspect of the hotel's design. Worth to mention the good taste for music too. Overall, I had an unforgettable four days at Hotel Lola with my wife and friends, and I cannot wait to return. The exceptional service, delicious food, and beautiful decor make this hotel a true gem.

Breakfast was the best I’ve ever had at a hotel. It’s not hotel breakfast—it’s homemade breakfast.
