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 KingdomVery noisy seagulls all night and through the morning, struggled to sleep because of the noise. Not the hotels fault of course, but wish I'd taken some ear plugs.
Host was lovely. Breakfast was very good. Location is ideal for anybody using the Dover ferry routes. Room was great for the price, comfy bed and nice bathroom.

United KingdomParking in the area is challenging, though not in the Castle Guest House’s control. Ms. Sharon clearly explained the options available and we didn’t have a problem finding free parking after we returned from a trip to the white cliffs.
Ms. Sharon was very friendly. The room on the 3rd(UK)/4th(US) floor was easy to get to. The room was cozy and the sunset was spectacular, as Ms. Sharon predicted. The full English breakfast was very tasty! We absolutely enjoyed ourselves. The hotel is located near to several places to eat and a convenience store for snack and drinks. It’s very conveniently located if you want to walk around the town. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

United KingdomSituated on the road to the castle so a busy road with associated noise and a fast road, care to be taken.
Close to the town centre and very handy for the ferry terminal. My attic room was compact but very clean with tea making facilities, a tv and ensuite with good electric shower, comfortable bed. Stairs are quite narrow so may not suit people with mobility issues. Overnight Parking on the street nearby.

A very convenient location. Super comfortable bed and great breakfast. Also I really appreciated how kind and helpful they were in allowing me to check in early and to leave my bag after check out so that I could explore until it was time to catch the train.

United KingdomWe were up in the eaves and the stairs were dangerously narrow in places - perhaps not too suitable for older women like ourselves. Beds were situated under the eaves too so we had to be careful not to sit up and bang our heads.
Excellent breakfast, just how we both liked it. Very friendly people. Facilities in the room were fine.
