Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe dining room was very small and at breakfast got very busy. There was little room to move around and a constant flow of people walking behind my seat didnt make it feel like a very relaxing start to the day. The food and service however was very good
Nice roomy bathroom, good size twin room. Plenty of variety at breakfast and staff were very efficient at keeping everything stocked up The gentleman on reception on arrival was lovely. Made you feel very welcome

United KingdomParking was provided, but the car park was full when we arrived. Friend found a space whilst I queued to check-in. I didn't see the extra price for parking whilst booking the hotel.
Room was nice and air conditioning was much appreciated to cool the room. Hotel was very nice and in a good location for my travel plans.

Location great Receptionist extremely helpful and a very pleasant lady Breakfast staff very friendly too. Characteristics of hotel very quirky. Appears dated but a venue full of history. Parking a little expensive though but for the convenience I was happy to pay £28 for 24hrs.

IndiaThe main issue is parking they have so many rooms but very little space for parking. And they don't have lift for 2nd floor.
Firstly this property is located in very good location and rooms are also good and cozy, bar is awesome I enjoyed drinks in bar & the view from bar is superb. Breakfast was also very nice. Staff is friendly.

United KingdomAlthough the room was clean and tidy - the carpets throughout the reception area and adjoining bar were beyond disgusting. We couldn’t believe how filthy they were. Especially considering the general standard elsewhere. I wouldn’t stay there again just because of this. It all needs a bit of a clean up
Location. Lovely and helpful Italian lady at the reception desk.

NetherlandsThe hotel was quite dated, especially when you went passed the foier/ front desk. Front desk was small and long Que to check in. Room was nice and spacious but the price was what way to steap. Breakfast this morning was horrendous, we arrived and there was not enough space in the breakfast area, which meant we had to sit in the bar area and walk with our plates through the front desk area where people stood with their luggage. Food was ok but expected more.
Location was good

United KingdomWhile the staff were working hard for breakfast I had a tight timetable attending conference; some of the breakfast food took too long to come out and I ended up starting the day with a piece of toast and a side of disappointment.
The lass who checked me in was extremely helpful. The room was clean and the air con helped me sleep so well.

United KingdomThe only bad thing I have to say is that the walls were thin and we were able to hear everything.
This was one of my favourite hotel stays. The rooms were nice and clean. The hotel is in the perfect location by the seaside. The staff were really friendly. Especially Barry, he was so so nice and it was really a pleasure to meet him. We will definitely come back!
