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 KingdomIt was challenging finding the premises as it is on the main road but impatient drivers make it challenging to spot. Obvious once you know. Not new and a bit tired but comfortable.
Once found there was suitable parking and clear instruction on gaining access. It’s not a new premises but great location. Handy for all local facilities.

United KingdomBathroom, specifically the shower
Its perfectly fine, does the job but not much more to say about it really. You never see any staff, distance to the town is good. Bed was fine and they provide extra blankets and a hot water bottle. The bathroom is great and the water pressure is pretty terrible with very slow response showers. If i could suggest 1 thing to improve this from a 5 to a 7 or 8 out of ten, sort the water pressure. Value for money is fine, the area is inherently expensive.

SpainThe bathroom and the room in general could be a little bit cleaner. There was plenty of dust in the tables, corners of the bathroom… That is the only thing we didnt like that much.
The check in/out process was easy and convenient. The owner answered quickly to our questions and the room was quite comfy. We found everything we needed for our quick stay.

United KingdomAs mentioned by other reviewers, you don't get breakfast and really don't get to see your hosts at all (not a problem for us but if you're looking for a more hospitable experience then you might be disappointed). The shower pressure was also crazy high, contrary to what previous reviewers had said, almost hurting our skins haha!
The room was perfect for what we needed it for - we went for a weekend long hiking holiday. The hotel is convenient, with a good location, comfy beds, and seamless self check-in, check-out system. All very convenient!

United KingdomThe cleaner was far too intense for me. And the walls were made out of paper, so you could hear people in the room next to you. Far too many banging and weird vibration noises on a night, made sleeping difficult. The cleaner would be walking about opening a squeaky door at 6am! Up and down the hallway waking you up. Kinda ruined my trip because I ended up being so tired. Everything else was okay.
Location was spot on, rooms clean, price reasonable. Replenished coffee and milk every two days.

United KingdomVery dirty in places, like the cleaner was just very lazy, not doing their job. But when I complained about this, I was very satisfied with the response and compensation (perhaps the owners were unaware). Also, unpleasant smell pervading the place, especially in the corridors, like a mixture of smoking and cooking smells, which they will probably only get rid of by replacing/removing the carpets on stairs and in corridors (the smell doesn't seem too bad at first, but it gets more noticeable). And some unsightly and worn bits (e.g. sealant in bathroom). Going for a budget place, you have to expect some issues (and you shouldn't expect it to be suitable for a romantic trip), and I would say this is good value for money except for the cleanliness issue, which is unacceptable, but I expect they can easily rectify this, and probably will based on my communications about the issue.
Great location in easy walking distance of Fort William pubs and restaurants, close to good walks and almost as close as you can get to Ben Nevis, lovely view (from front 1st floor room), comfortable beds. The best for budget in the area.

United KingdomThe price seemed high considering it was a room only rate. A fan would have been nice as it was warm even with the window open. The shower compartment was tiny, it would have been better to a walk in shower and something to prevent the room flooding given how little space was available.
Check in was easy, the bed was comfortable and there was additional coffee left out downstairs to refill the room. The building is directly opposite the bus and train station and only a short walking distance to the town centre.

United StatesWe stayed here 6 years ago. I know accommodations around the world went through some really challenging times but Berkeley house is in need of updates. It does not serve breakfast and the check in check out is more typical of an AirBnB experience. We never once saw or interacted with staff. I would stay here again, the price point and location are excellent, just know overall the place feels worn.
Location and cleanliness are two positives about Berkeley House.
