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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesBeing in Centre Ville, it is not easy to find a parking space. No parking at the hotel itself but there is a space in front with time to unload the luggage. There are public parkings, for a fee, not too far from the hotel. The breakfast room is very small and was full when we came from our room. A table opened up within 10 minutes. The friendly staff had offered to bring our choices of breakfast food to our room. We ended up not needing that service but appreciated the offer.
the property is centrally located with walking access to shops, restaurants, and the central old port. The staff was very helpful, very polite and efficient. The room we were originally assigned through Booking.com was very small and could not accommodate our luggage. We were offered an upgrade to a larger room for an additional "discounted" rate of 30 euros. It was very comfortable. We added the breakfast at 15 euros/person that was not included in the room rate. The breakfast was plentiful with a wide variety of food and drinks.

IrelandWe had a balcony room (Number 36) for 3 nights but had to move on our last night to a seaview room on the first floor. There wasn't any way the windows could block out the noise from the street. If you're booking this hotel make sure you book a balcony room.
The location of the hotel is brilliant. It was within walking distance of everything from boat trips to restaurants to the train station and aquarium. It was a perfect location for shopping on the high street to grabbing a fabulous jambon complet in a boulangerie.

United KingdomIf there was one thing to say, it would be the air filled pillows. That’s not right.
Large room (15) superb 360 view over the old harbour. Clean, good large bed. Soundproof is good, we were not bothered by the noise despite being on the first floor overlooking a busy harbour with terraces etc. Location is the best. Didn’t try breakfast Welcome staff very nice. Bravo and thank you.

South AfricaThe noise from the nightlife did disturb us. If you are young, hip and happening, this is the place to be. If you are older, I would suggest a hotel not so close to the harbour.
Our room overlooked the harbour, so a beautiful view. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. The Town was very busy, that we did not expect late August. For older couples, I suggest mid September may be a better time to go. That said, we did have the most stupendous meal at a little restaurant off the beaten track, where less foot traffic was experienced. I suggest do a lot of research beforehand.

United KingdomNot really a negative but if you want a quiet room don't choose one with a balcony. The windows kept out most of the noise coming from street performers in the evening. (There was a good seal on the windows however) There were ear plugs provided if needed.
Central location overlooking the harbour, bars & restaurants. We chose a room with a balcony which was great to chill out later in the day.

United KingdomIt has a small bathroom. Driving to the property is a bit difficult due to it’s central location and the noise from the busy central harbour was a bit disturbing but did stop by 11:00pm which actually meant that it didn’t interfere with our sleep! I suspect the noise is not a problem at all out of season.
Great central location, free soft drinks in the mini bar and a coffee machine. Comfortable bed, friendly staff and good view from the window.
