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 KingdomWell really no door on the toilet in the room.
A very pleasant stay : very nice room but a couple of points of issue; whilst trying to close the blind it fell off - and we had to survive the night without a black out - it was fixed very quickly next morning ! No toilet door! Not too pleasant not have a door to the loo. Restaurant was very slow, but the wine bill was picked up by the hotel so ended well : plus the staff were working very hard. All in all nice hotel. Recommended

United KingdomWe decided to have breakfast at the last minute (10am) check out was 11am. It was a busy weekend but there were no tables ready and the spaces that looked free hadn’t been cleaned and there were hardly any staff. The cooked breakfast was served with burnt bacon, rock hard black pudding, very sloppy scrambled egg and a tasteless sausage. Such a disappointment and put a negative end on our amazing night away. It was not worth the £44 paid 🙁
The hotel was beautiful, full of style & grandeur. The room was immaculate & very comfortable. The front of house staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. It was a perfect location for the Jazz Festival.

United KingdomThe bistro was very quiet, just us and another couple in the vast space. Food good but expensive. Breakfast good but a bit frenetic as just one girl on duty.
Brilliant room as we were given an upgrade but the twin baths were wasted on us. Room was quiet. Bed very comfortable. Car parking pot luck, there was one space free when we arrived mid afternoon and the nearby public car park looked to be full

United KingdomNothing the hotel could of helped but there was a large event that took place during our stay, the guests were rude, loud and inconsiderate of other people like ourselves who were also staying here and they were up making noise, shouting and slamming doors until the early hours.
The breakfast was good and had a good selection of simple and complex food so fussy eaters also have options. The room was big and the shower was fantastic. The wardrobe was big enough for our short stay. The bed was comfortable and spacious. Extra special mention to Cora who has always made sure our stay was more than pleasant on the multiple occasions we have stayed here, thank you!
