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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomThe room could have been warmer, radiator didn't get hot at all and emergency electric oil filled radiator wasn't powerful enough to raise the temperature. Minimal breakfast but we had our own cereal and coffee. Nowhere to hang shower towels or robe in bathroom. Soap dispenser was broken. Broken/missing shelf in shower We met the cleaners as we left and they offered to pass on our comments to the office.
Plenty of space, comfortable bed, satisfactory showers, fridge, views very pleasing with sunshine! Simple and secure access, good communication from local agent. Clean too.

United KingdomThe heating seemed very low, it was quite cold, had to have additional portable radiator on all the time. TV chanels limited, could have done with a few more, such as Sky News, Pick, the general free ones. A LOT of noise from a neighbouring room or house all night - just a soundproofing issue, coughs, sneezes, voices: but spoilt an otherwise superb room.
Lovely full apartment, rather than room (we had a "deluxe"). Clean, very well equippped with kettle, table, bowls and plates, fridge and microwave, comfy bed, very good wardrobe space. And a bath!!! Lovely views of Ben Nevis and over Fort William.

United StatesThe room was nice and modern. Getting in was a problem. After booking, I received 4 emails with confirmation info, but no info on how to access our room. I called the number posted at the door several times without answer. I finally emailed through booking.com and get an email with the code and room number. It would have been very useful to have the entry info with the booking confirmation. This was very frustrating. It would have been nice to have a mirror opposite the sink to shave. Power outlets where not convenient
Clean and modern. Quiet location

AustraliaThe bed was most uncomfortable and the bed springs popped and creaked when you slightly moved. Stained bathroom towels. No WIFI despite advertising WIFI Insufficient cutlery for the insufficient breakfast Insufficient window coverings. We were woken up at the crack of dawn with all the sunlight. Stains on the walls behind the beside table. The room needs maintenance. The ceiling in the bathroom is peeling above the shower. There are no tissues. We stay in a lot of different accommodation across the globe and we have found this property below standard.
The view from the bedroom window and you could open the window and Velux for ventilation.

Czech Republicgood morning, accommodation and room was good. everything was clean and nicely prepared. the surroundings of the hotel were amazing. but what was bad were the guests in other rooms. they arrived at the accommodation late in the evening and did not respect the night's silence. they were banging on the door, the children were screaming just like their mothers. two hours of sleep before the morning climb to Ben Nevis was not ideal. thanks anyway

United KingdomThere are 4 rooms and our friends had a superb room, way bigger than ours with lovely views. For the same price our room was way smaller with a view of an overgrown hedge. We were very disappointed as it was for my husband’s special birthday celebration. The lack of any staff presence made it feel very clinical. Also quite a walk through a housing estate to reach Fort William.
Clean and comfortable.
