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 KingdomBreakfast could have some improvements made, everyone has personal preference, but the Charlton hotel do not serve blueberries at breakfast, they do not have avocados on the breakfast menu either. More attention could be please had on the cleanliness of the room, a few hairs found on the bedroom carpet, maybe change to vinyl flooring.
I liked some of the decor and facilities in the room, it seems as though the room has had some changes compared to other rooms. Modern curtains, USB power sockets and a new television. I liked the location of the hotel and the staff were friendly. The hotel sell Harrogate glass bottled water at the Charlton reception which was very useful to take back up to the room. Good download speed and upload speed across the whole of the Charlton hotel for my work digital video calls in the room.

United KingdomI didnt like that the room isnt sound proof.
The fact that the room has a fridge and a kitchenette was lovely. The option for breakfast was nice too. However the ground keeps on shrieking everytime we go to bed hence the bed is also uncomfortable because its too fidgety for the ground. Also, the lift is not updated where we stayed so we have to take the stairs with our buggy or pram for both our kids.

LithuaniaAs we arrived in a hotel there was a massive bird poo on the window, covering the beautiful view from the window. I reported it to the reception , but poo was still on the window when we left. One of the reason this we chose this hotel is because they had tennis court, court was unusable as net pole was broken. Not a good breakfast.
Indoor pool was a saviour coming with children.

United KingdomWe stayed in the apartment, it's very outdated, the sofa/bed was minging and not comfortable at all. The carpets weren't the best either. Didn't ruin our stay and still had everything we needed but could do with an update.
The resort is perfect, has a lot to offer and is great for everyone. With the right weather it gives an abroad style hotel with the pools and entertainment. The location is perfect.

United KingdomVery warm room. Warm hotel overall actually. I was expecting more of a buzz but it was pretty empty and VERY geared up for the over-70s. Strange having so many empty spaces around the hotel but I guess it’s busier in peak season (this was Easter hols). Menus were uninspiring in the restaurants and were expensive for a set menu. Breakfast cost a FORTUNE. I paid for adult and child. Child didn’t want anything as nothing was suitable (yes, she’s very fussy but still!). It wasn’t the best brekky I’ve had - how do you ruin a hash brown?
The pool is amazing. Such a lovely space. And the Aztec Bar has good food etc. The room was clean but VERY warm. No option to open a window. The staff were all friendly. The entertainment was entertaining! Daughter LOVED the animals show! That was really great.

United KingdomThe evening entertainment on our dates was definitely for the older residents. Our room 38 was in need of some electrical tlc in the bathroom but this didn't spoil our stay.
Perfect location within easy reach of all local attractions, the town and seafront. Great for our family get together, we all enjoyed the leisure facilities, sorry we did not have time to visit the games room. The breakfast and service was great, staff very happy to help and informative.

United KingdomOn arrival we were given a room with only stair access despite constant messages that we have a wheelchair user. We were left in that room over night and had to stay in because of having to carry a person in a wheelchair up and down stairs. This was a serious health and safety and fire risk. The Decor and carpets were outdated and floorboards very noisy. The lift to was very small. Also the hotel was sold as a 4 star but is actually a 3 star.

United KingdomBedrooms need an upgrade as well as the bathrooms and also air conditioning needs installing as was very warm at night. More food selection for the kids in the evening meal would be nice.
Large hotel and lovely indoor swimming facilities open until late which was good as was a little quieter. Rooms large enough for family of 4. Half board basis was good, good selection of food in the mornings and evening meals were nice.
