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 KingdomGetting around the hotel was a little bit confusing, the menu in the hotel restaurant wasn't really that nice, they need more varied pasta dishes maybe although the draft cider / drink selection was excellent
Good size of room for the money spent, staff were very friendly , bus stop heading to city centre straight outside on the main road and a garage to buy any essentials less than 2 minute walk!

RwandaThe carpets on the stairs are old and dirty. They need to be replaced. The doorframes on the foyer and ground floor of the hotel have paint chip marks which makes the hotel look very aged and poor. Our room did not have a fridge anymore and there wasn't a safe in the room to store your valuables.
The rooms were comfortable and clean. The hotel location was convenient to where we wanted to be and had a great view over the valley and the hill behind the hotel.

United KingdomPersonally the cleanliness could have been better as there were parts of the room that were dusty and had cobwebs including in the nightstand drawer and the wardrobe where you were meant to put your clothes was very dusty. The rest are more like suggestions for improvement: have a menu in the room to show what you can get in the restaurant as it may help getting people to have lunch or dinner there and have a mini fridge in the room to keep a few things as sometimes it is needed especially if you travel with kids.
It gets a lot of points for having a good size parking and having a bus stop right there which connects to the city centre. The breakfast was good and enough. The room we had was very quiet and relaxing which is great for getting some rest.

United StatesA particular staff member wouldn't give you two words if one was sufficient to mislead you . He was gruff and unwelcoming and would not help us with our bags up and down the Escher-esque stairways. Other guests helped us. No lift, very cramped quarters. Place is overdue for a redo - which we were told is planned. Things are worn and shabby. We changed rooms on our return stay to ground floor but still had to go up and down stairs to get there. Fire exits plans were confusing. A difficult venue for a person with handicaps.
Food was good but breakfast not included, dining staff was gracious, helpful and welcoming. Pretty setting, beautiful public park down the stairs and across the road, quiet. They held our bigger luggage when we went on a coach tour of several days. Easy bus access to city center. Kudos to Robert of the dining staff for friendly hospitality and hard work. Good venue if you are driving.

MaltaVery welcoming reception staff and loved the resident cat which was super friendly! Very easy to get to Centre town from hotel by bus. The bus stop is right next to the hotel which was super convenient. The custard creams near the kettle in the room were nice with a cup of tea :) also very close by to the hotel is a nice big park you can go for a walk in.

United KingdomWe were on the 3rd floor and there was no lift and my partner had an ankle injury so it was really difficult to take all our bags to the room, v long walk and no help available. There should be a lift, at least! The communal area carpets are a bit tired and the room a little small, especially little room on one side of the bed.
