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 KingdomSuite was much smaller than pictured -looked more like a junior suite or a simple larger room but the price you pay does not reflect this & isn't worth it. No toiletries supplied around the bathtub so if you forgot to bring your own it means getting out the tub &in again everytime you want to use any as they are bolted to the wall inside the shower area or by the sink (obviously reflecting some of the calibre of the clientèle the hotel attracts nowadays). No phones in the rooms so you have to go out the room & to the end of a corridor to call reception -very inconvenient ¬ well thought out if you're having problems with drunken girls playing knockdoor run at 2am or need a wakeup call. The dining menu is very lacking in imagination & the choices are plain -I understand businesses are still trying to recover from covid & cutting costs where they can but the menu needs a revamp as it looks the same as it was 12months ago. Also a little more attention to detail needed with housekeeping as we noted on checking into our suite that trash was left in the shower area & brown marks left in the toilet bowl. 🤢
The front desk staff were very welcoming & happy to book you in & the lobby is nice & open -though quite stuffy. Breakfast is self-service & pretty decent -the servers never stop keeping tables clear & food trays filled. Mini bar has a cute little selection of beverages & some Belgian chocolates. Blackout curtains in the bedroom were great.

United KingdomThe only negative I found was that then using the shower that lost of water splashed to the tiles on the floor. Also the bathroom sink drainage was extremely slow when draining.
The location of the hotel is in close proximity of the centre. Stunning interior and very clean. Smart electrics in the room 😀 The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was good size, presented well and had decent view of the city. Walkin-in.shower exceptional and the bed was large and extremely comfortable.

United Kingdom1.checking in could have been improved. We were not made aware of the available discounts and paid full price for our pre show evening meal and paid full price when it could have been discounted. 2.
The majority of our one night stay was excellent apart from 1. Checking in was a problem. Having had a difficult journey finding a car park ( our planned car park was closed for maintenance) it would have been a joy to have had a trouble free check in(unfortunately our reservation could not be found resulting in all of the offers and facilities not being adequately explained by reception

IrelandRoom - I had to ask for more towels as there was only enough towels for one person. Reception sent more straight up and received the correct amount the following day. 👍 First night excellent sleep. Second night (Saturday night) I was woken up by a lot of banning of doors, and cheering- a party in one of the bedroom. I rang down to reception. Reception dealt with it straight away. 👍
Reception took our luggage as we arrived early. So we did not have to carry them around with us until check in time. 👍 Breakfast- good selection. Staff very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomEntrance is on the side. I walked around the whole building looking for the way in. Needs signage on the door into the breakfast area & at the front of the building. £12.50 for a toasted cheese & tomato sandwich is ridiculous. Should be half that. Room service was super-slow. They apologised profusely but still charge full price for the sandwich.
Nice room, big bed, good breakfast. Helpful staff.

United KingdomNot a very pleasant view from the room due to building works etc?
Having to wait for a room. As in we didn’t get told when one would be available(even though we booked in advance)so was waiting at the bar for ages - we needed to be somewhere at a certain time too. Also the front of house staff looked at me like I was stupid?? Might of just been that girl maybe? Thought she could have at least looked at me and gave a sincere smile considering everything.
