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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomAlthough our room was obviously newly decorated, the other areas of the hotel were sadly neglected, and in great need of refurbishment. The outside area likewise was neglected and tatty and in need of a good sweeping, tidy and clean up. First impressions were not good at all so our room was a pleasant surprise.
Very clean newly decorated room and bathroom. Very comfy bed and super soft pillows. Good shower. Fresh milk in fridge. Excellent cooked breakfast and very friendly staff. Private parking on premises.

United KingdomHotel is in need of some tlc. For example a patch of ceiling leaking over our heads at breakfast. Communal area downstairs being used as a storage area, this could be hidden away with something like a curtain
The room was clean and tidy and a good size. Location was close to the beach and hotel offered free parking on site. Nice touches of biscuits and fresh milk being topped up in room for tea and coffees

United KingdomThe worst bit was hearing the swearing from the kitchen whilst sitting in the breakfast room with my 11 year old - the f-bomb was dropped twice :( Also we said we would be down for breakfast at 9 but being told the other couple would be down at 8.30 - so we came down at 8.30 (as it seemed like a hint) and then feeling like we’d caused inconvenience by being early! Could do with replacing their hotel information book - looks really battered!
Close to the beach. Comfortable bed. Breakfast good. Clean bathroom.

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.
