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.).

GermanyDecor tired and tatty. Bed rattled and squeaked, mattress & pillows very lumpy. Cup in bathroom had some unidentified gunk in the bottom. Cupboard doors were barely hanging on the frame and I could hardly move them. Microwave was not very clean inside.
Ideal location for cafes and shops along St.James Street. Room was plenty big enough, bright, despite being below ground level. "Kitchen" corner was an unexpected bonus (fridge & microwave in addition to well-stocked tea & coffee selection). Owner was available over phone and very helpful.

United KingdomThe room wasn't as clean as I thought it'd be, dusty/marks on tables and crumbs on floor. This could be because it hadn't been used in a while tho! I could hear noise from other guests but it's an oldish building so could be why.
All in all it was a really nice room, quite comfortable and a very good size. Location is great about ten mins from the main strip and shops. Staff were very friendly too. There was a problem with my room choice but this was resolved efficiently :) The view is lovely!!

United KingdomWe were in room 9 on the top floor which meant we had 64 steps to climb to get to the room. Fortunately we were both fit and able so it wasn't too much of a problem.. The carpet wasn't very clean on arrival but after vacuuming it was ok except for a large wine stain. We also had a minor power issue but that was quickly sorted. The bed height was a little low compared to what we're used to but it was very comfy.
The room was very big. A King size bed, en-suite bathroom, 2 seater sofa, Tv, kitchenette with microwave, fridge, kettle, 2 ring hob and small dining table. There were plenty of refreshment sachets. We had a sea view. Its location was great close to shops, cafes, the beach and local buses.We loved it. It was very comfortable and cosy. We will book again next time but will request a lower room if it offers the same facilities.

SpainWhen you enter in the building, it looks messy outside the room. The room has less natural light than it shows in the photos. You cannot leave the luggage in the hotel when you check out, so you have to find another place to leave it (they tell you once you had booked the place)
The place is great, it has everything you can wish for. The bed is comfortable, it has a microwave and a fridge, and a bathtub. It is closed to the beach and other places to have lunch.
