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 KingdomNo key to get through to the street side in the morning or later evening. Being disabled this made it quite a chore to go around the back to explore the town. Surprisingly no food available at the Pub xx I’ll remember to request a ground floor exterior room next time as I’m disabled and struggled with the stairs xx
Nice room, central to the town xx parking included xx

United KingdomRoom could do with a deep clean. A little more attention to detail - we only had one cup in our room for tea in the morning.
Cheerful, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Very big bed, really comfortable. Building is old and upstairs floors uneven but in character to the building and hilarious when you've had a drink 🤣.

United KingdomThe bed was pretty uncomfortable- you could feel some of the mattress springs- and the room wasn’t the cleanest- it was a bit dusty and the bathroom was a bit mouldy. Also, be aware, we stayed in an inside room but if you book a single room then those are outside of the main building with just one door straight out to the car park and a couple of friends who stayed with us felt a little unsafe. Our double room inside felt very secure though so I think it’s just a couple of rooms.
Staff were lovely, location was great, it was reasonably priced. The pub downstairs was very welcoming.

United KingdomOur room was at the back of the hotel, was meant that most traffic noise form the road was excluded. And the outdoor seating area was fairly quiet, although quite why the music should be played outside until late is questionable. However the real isssue, particularly on a warm night when it was important to have the sash window open, was the intense noise of an air conditioning unit that was VERY loud at night, starting and stopping at regular intervals. Why was it required to run overnight ? Whoever thought to install that has clearly never tried to sleep again the very invasive noise. This likely also affected a number of other outside rooms. The other oddball was the shock noise of the water flow through the 'push for on' hand basin taps in an adjacent room, magnified through the design of the separating wall. That aside, the staff were lovely, and the atmosphere very good.
The room was tidy and the bed excellent; coffe and biscuits provided (athough the pod coffee machine didn't work); the creaky floors added to the charm of this older building. Outdoor area, and pool table / darts made for a relaxed evening. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere was good, and it was good to have a car park.

AustraliaRooms 11-13 are in the old stables by the beer garden, thus a bit small and near the evening drinkers. Although value for money perhaps this might be made more obvious when booking.

United StatesThis is not a luxury hotel, but it had everything you could want in a room. The property is historically old, so it's no wonder that it isn't modern and luxurious. I never stay at places like that anyway. The town of Newbury is very cute and has more shopping and stores than you would expect a town of 35,000.
