Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomVery good stay for a local wedding. Room was immaculate. Nice touches like bottled water. As stated on the description pub is closed on Mondays when we checked in. Had a bit of a panic as didn't know how to get out and back in again after check-in. Figured it out tho! Could have been explained on arrival tho.

United KingdomNothing, I couldn’t fault it. Some might want a safe and possibly a mini-fridge in the room however, we didn’t need either and appreciated the peace and quiet above the noise of a fridge.
Efficient, polite, and friendly staff. Everywhere is very clean and beautifully presented. Fantastic breakfast, the best ever in a B&B. I really liked the motion activated bathroom ‘night light’ great for if you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I felt instantly relaxed and we had a wonderful few days, we will definitely return. The hosts were really helpful and accommodating.

United KingdomBreakfast you had to book a slot in advance, we would have preferred to get up, eat and go earlier because we were only visiting for a few days. But the earliest available slot was 9.45am, so by the time we were seated, gave our order and was served, it felt like half the day had gone.
Good selection of drinks, friendly bar staff, little beer garden. Clean and comfortable room. Delicious breakfast. Would stay again.

From the moment I arrived I had a good feeling and this was reinforced by the friendliness of the team

United KingdomThe shower cubicle was fine for me but a little tight for my husband. It wouldn't stop me from returning.
Staff very welcoming. Very quick check in and shown to our rooms. The rooms were beautifully presented. Very stylish, with plenty of natural light. Everything we needed for a relaxing evening before our son's wedding. We had also booked a table for dinner and the food was excellent. We went to bed early, with the window open and it was very quiet - we woke to birdsong in the morning. Breakfast was great value for money and a great start to our day. Plenty of room for hanging our outfits and getting ready in the morning.
