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 Kingdomroom was very basic, i wasnt expecting luxury, but i was expecting a bit more. single glazed windows, doors that, while they did shut properly, didnt block any noise or light out. i was only there for one night, it did the job. Kind of like a typical seaside B&B place.
room was clean, spacious and had a nice view. could see the sea and some nice gardens outside the window. very close to the pier and waterfront, very good location. Had a mini fridge and a kettle, towels, shampoo and shower gel, a fan and plenty of plug sockets.

United KingdomI was single but paid for double bed. Almost all rooms was empty but they allotted 3rd floor room. Every time I had to climb 3 floor which makes me disappointed. They should allot room down side if empty. Also so many people outside hotel setting n shouting n drinks smoke all night and making noise. Bcs it's no staff hotel nobody cares about guests.
It was just next to pier. Room was nice n clean.

United KingdomNo staff to help, water was tepid at best although I did call the emergency number to state the water was cold. They got back to me very quickly advising I let the water run a bit. Very very basic equipment. Far to overpriced for what was supplied! I'd even go so far as saying it was a rip off.
Unusual entrance. No staff required, entrance via key code, room key access via key safe. No staff to help, no disabled access.

United KingdomWalls very thin, so could hear everything the people next door were up to! Toilet was quite some way from the room, along a corridor and down some stairs.
Contrary to other reviews, room was clean and contactless check-in worked smoothly. Amazing view of the pier and the sea! Good cheap option for a last-minute overnight stay.

United KingdomThe sink drain was not connected, so sink emptied directly onto bathroom floor. As reception is online only I got a response later offering to try and find another room, but it was as I was going to bed as I had an early start, so it was no help. Bare bulb as a lamp. Very hot.
Clean bed and good locator what I wanted.

UkraineTo get to the room we had not only to climb very high, but also to go through a real labyrinth, passing some toilets and showers where people were showering with the open doors. The sink leaked and there was always water on the floor in the bathroom. The mixer in the shower was broken, so we had a choice of super cold or boiling water, no gradations in between. The noise from the street outside is insane, windows block zero sound. The beds were back-killers.
Location is allright, check-in is easy. Nice small park just outside of the hotel.

Georgia50 GBP deposit that will take 10-15 days to be refunded. I don't think this accommodation is on a level to require deposits. But if it does, it should be returned immediately after check out; Rooms don't have toilets, only showers.
Location is good, bed is good, I like cosy environment.

Had to plug in down the side of the bed . Property seems to being re-done however because of this pictures on the site seem mid leading
Great location , close to all aspects you may want to reach quickly.

United KingdomThe windows were only single glazed so it was quite cold, the radiators couldn't be turned up either and you could hear the wind rattling the windows. There was only one spare plug socket and the door also rattled whenever anyone opened the doors around us.
Bed was really comfy, bathroom was nice and clean with towels, we had a mini fridge too and a kettle. It was in a good area too, overall pretty good for the money.

United KingdomThere is no reception, and yet you cannot easily get ahold of anyone on the phone. Myself and another lady were outside for easily 45mins when we arrived. They happily contacted us to take our deposit and then went silent as we were outside waiting for a “2nd” check in email. The corridors smelt of smoke, and were dusty and dirty. The room itself was standard, appeared clean. But there was plastic under the bed sheet so very sweaty. The rooms were noisy with people banging around in the early hours, I did not feel safe. Having communal toilets is fine, but soap would be nice…
