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 KingdomThe room (2) was very small and cramped. There wasn't much room in either the bedroom or bathroom to store or hang things. The hotel is much farther into Kempston than we've been before and we used Uber a lot as it was cold and wet whilst we were there
It was modern and clean, easy self check in. Plenty of shops, pubs and cafes nearby

United KingdomThe furniture layout was not good which left little room for moving around. Maybe getting rid of the huge floor standing mirror would help. The kettle wouldn't fit under the bathroom tap. The room was only serviced if we remembered to put the label out (although we weren't told to do this). The provision of teabags was woefully inadequate and, despite contacting the owners to ask for more, we had 3 teabags for the whole of our stay. The breakfast was not what we were expecting. It should be made clear when you book that it will be a box of pastries delivered from the bakery across the road. The pastries were warm and fresh, but it would be a nice touch if cards were left in the room to allow guests to select what they'd like rather than a random selection being delivered. I know this is possible because I actually went across and requested pain au raisin for my last morning.
The room was exceptionally clean, the bed was comfortable and the room was warm. The provision of toiletries and tissues was a nice touch. The guest house was in a good place for walking to the seafront. The soundproofing must have been good, because, although we were on the ground floor and we could hear other guests coming and going, we didn't hear anything from upstairs. Despite the comments about what we didn't like, we would visit again and would recommend it to other people.

GreeceThe last flight of stairs to get to my room is too narrow to climb with luggage and the steps are too small. However, I got to like my room that felt like a nest.
Cozy building/room in the Kemptown area in Brighton. Staff is very friendly, attentive and accommodating, easy to communicate with. The best feature of my room was the heated floor in the bathroom! I recommend it, especially if your stay is in winter or early spring.

United KingdomThe beds are the worst I ever slept on. Junior suite had two single beds zipped together and the middle of my “double bed” where two single beds zipped was like a road hump while the bed itself was of cheap quality. The wall was painted and left in half which made the room look very bad. Central heating- radiator temperature control regardless of increase or decrease of temperature they don’t seem to work. When they come on they will stay on, on that was off would not turn on regardless of turning the controller.

United KingdomParking was not as easy as described. We were lucky to find one remaining slot nearby. Tried to telephone to arrange a permit - left a message but no-one returned call. Would have liked to have been able to lock the door from inside as we went to bed as it is a coded door entry system. (Guess I'm old school) On Booking.com I requested to include breakfast..I've had another look and nowhere does it say breakfast is 4 sweet pastries each from a patisserie across the road that will be delivered to your room door at 8.30. Overcharged on my bank statement but that has been rectified after a phone call.
It was clean and modern.
