Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United Kingdomthis is quite a big issue as it plays into health and safety: the radiator in the bathroom was on way too hot and I ended up quite badly burning myself on it. was very sad as the rest of the stay was great but this was super dangerous, especially as there were not instructions on how to turn the heating down/off
Was an absolutely beautiful place with oven, sofa, 2 TVs, comfy bed, balcony and lots of other great facilities. was also a great location, right by the sea nice and central

United KingdomWe were a couple so bunk beds wasn’t ideal but it was the last room available. I think due to the Marathon being on everything got booked up early. We would definitely use this quest house again but try and book a double bed next time. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. The only fault was the shower water pressure.
The location was very good. We stayed in the bunk bed room on the ground floor at the back. The room was tiny but well equipped and had everything we needed for a short two night stay.

United KingdomParking could be a bit of a problem , did have to drive round the roads to find a parking spot , luckily managed to get one near property, you do need to put permit in car 24hr permits available but make sure you have enough to cover stay. Parking wardens out all the time, and will get a parking fine.
Good size room Nicely presented , fridge had complementary milk , water and a bottle of wine nice touch. Also packets of cereal available. Really good location , short walk into town and located near to the beach front. Will stay again

United KingdomAs mentioned before, the noise from the apartment above us. It was like they were wearing lead boots. Also having buckets of water thrown out of the window above the bedroom while we were in bed wasn't ideal, especially as some of it came through the window! That seemed to be the cleaner. So, unless you're on the top floor I would definitely make use of the free earplugs in a dispenser by the front floor! The front door sticks so it's impossible not to make a loud bang when closing it.
The apartment was beautifully clean. The milk, orange juice, cereals & chocolate bars were much appreciated. Oh my days, the duvet & pillows with Egyptian cotton covers were amazing, like sleeping on clouds. It's a fabulous location & we prebooked parking at Buzz bingo just a 5 minute walk away which was ideal. The free WiFi has a strong signal & both TVs worked perfectly with streaming services etc.
