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.).

United KingdomOne minor point; we stayed in the artists studio. Lighting was either v bright or not bright enough ( bedside lights.) Also it wasn’t possible to dry hair anywhere near a mirror but everything perfect apart from that.
Delicious breakfast as anticipated Lovely ambiance v civilised.

United KingdomIt's our second time and definitely not the last one. One might love the location, the history, or the food - which is amazing - but the major plus point of this hotel is its staff. Everyone we met was so helpful and pleasant, and they all did their best to make our stay wonderful.

United KingdomThe only downside was the maintenance work which was being carried out. We had been warned about it prior to attending and was assured the scaffolding wouldn't spoil our sea views from our suite and to be fair it didn't as it stopped short of our windows but it did spoil the overall look of the hotel The only issue was when the workman were erecting the scaffolding on the roof above us the noise from the ratchet guns drove us out our suite for a couple of hours. Hopefully the work will ensure the hotel is looking its best for a future return visit.
The attention to detail in the decor and surroundings is spot on. The staff were attententive but not over bearing and were willing to assist whenever approached. The food is excellent and locally sourced wherever possible. A ride on the Sea tractor is a must and also gives a different view of the island and the surrounding area.

United KingdomThe restaurant did their best to accommodate our allergies.
An amazons 1920s era hotel that has retained its charm even with all the new mod cons. The staff were welcoming and friendly from the minute we stepped into the Landrover to get ferried over to the island. Even in bad weather it was so perfect to cosy up with a book and watch the rain on the grey sea.

United KingdomAlthough my wife really enjoyed her meal in the grand ballroom, my steak, albeit well cooked, was a little dry.
Burgh Island Hotel is a bit of a one off. Locked and dressed in the Art Deco style. If you need more info, just google.

United KingdomI am a sea swimmer, and really was looking forward to the Mermaid pool, the natural bay, to swim there. It was closed off to the public. So very disappointed about that. Also after an exhausting long journey from Hastings, and a broken back car windscreen, I just wanted to get to the rooms ASAP. Then dip in the sea. Which I did when the tide came in in front of hotel, about an hour later. We had a very lengthy talk from your guest coordinator, the minute we arrived, when all I wanted to do was rest and swim....... I think the "Talk" could be moved to at least an hour or so later "AFTER" having moved into our rooms. We also ended up taking our own luggage as waited for ages, for it to be brought up.
The Hotel was Wonderful. The dinner superb. Our stay for our 25th Silver Anniversary was memorable and great to share it with our family from New Zealand. We all had a wonderful time. would LOVE to come again.
