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 KingdomTo be completely ridiculous- Never enough tea coffee and sugar in the rooms. Theres no bubbles to put in the bath to relax.
The staff this year were incredible! The brilliant lady who checked us in and who was happy to listen to us ramble every time we went past. And Natalie at breakfast being proud of my daughter and encouraged her and took a second out of her day to help build her confidence. Those are 2 really special members of staff!

United KingdomThe normal restaurant and bar facilities were unavailable due to refurbishment work but the alternative arrangements in place worked quite well.
Excellent room overlooking the Golf Course, the staff are outstanding with many familiar faces from our previous visits to this Hotel. It is very good to see that money is being invested in updating the Hotel facilities and the disruption caused by this was kept to a minimum.

United KingdomThe bed was very uncomfortable and the bedding really tired and thin. The pillows were dreadful and I didn't sleep well. The walls seemed to be paper thin and you could hear every noise and voice. I kept the radio on through the night to try and drown out any noise. Not relaxing. The restaurant was closed which we knew and that was fine. The staff were great organising food after the business meeting went on longer than expected and were so lovely. The meeting room was nice and was set up for us which was good. The room really let the experience down as mentioned.
The staff were excellent and went above and beyond helping with food after the meeting went on longer than expected thank you

United KingdomWe were given an accessible room (wasn’t required) the wet room bathroom flooded anytime the shower was used whole room soaking the shower curtain fell down as well it was only helps up with silicone. Room was so hot at night and when I got up to open the window I realised it was siliconed shut!! I get very claustrophobic and this caused much distress also the room had a joining door to next room (was locked) but could hear EVERYTHING even when they cleared their throat it sounded as if they were in same room! Think we were just unlucky with room allocation
Pool area nice with sauna & steam room lots of kids so not really relaxing. Food was excellent and restaurant staff were fantastic! Room big & clean
