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 KingdomThere were, unfortunately, some renovations underway in the lounge and dining area on the two days of our stay. Did not disturb us at all, though. It just meant that first impression on arrival was not as anticipated, but the room, excellent location, and good breakfast made up for it.
A lovely, quiet location, walking distance from the centre and a very spacious, elegantly decorated, spotless room with a large en suite. Friendly owner, his advice saved us time on our visit to Corfe Castle! Good breakfast, free parking was also appreciated.

United KingdomShower could be temperamental occasionally & water pressure not high in the taps, but this is only a very minor inconvenience!
Took 2 rooms at the top of the hotel, which had quirky shapes from the slope of the roof. Plenty of space, fresh milk in the fridge, clean and spacious. Lovely breakfast! Easy walk into town and the front. Parking to the side of the hotel.

United KingdomStayed here a few years ago when it was a husband and wife team, and it was amazing. Now things have , the hostess was not very forthcoming, or her sister with the uncontrollable bull mastiff. Room was cold, shower not warm, windows rotting away, no tlc being given to the building. This lovely old house is going downhill fast because it needs a proper team again. The host himself is such a nice guy as well, which makes this hard to write
Staff were lovely, breakfast waitress was a delight. Nice breakfasts, nice area, short walk into town

United KingdomThe owner came into our room unannounced in the afternoon once while we were there, but didn't knock first so it startled us. I think it was to test that the toilet was in working order, so no big deal, but a knock first is always appreciated or better yet "do not disturb" signs made available for hanging on the door. :-)
At some accommodations I find the beds uncomfortable and wake up with a sore back in the morning, but this bed was very comfortable and I didn't have that issue. The breakfast was simple and delicious. The room was much larger than I expected and so was the bathroom with separate shower and tub. It wasn't noisy at all and my dogs only barked once when hearing a dog from a neighbouring room bark. The view was just average, I could only see a small sliver of the beach in the back because it was mostly obscured by surrounding buildings but mainly saw the back garden from the room. The location is a short walk to restaurants and the beach and made for a lovely holiday.
