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 KingdomThe plug in the bathroom sink requires attention as you have you have to manually pull it up to let the water escape form the sink. The shower was very disappointing poor pressure with only one small manual shower head. The fridge in the room is not working correctly, the cold drinks that we placed in the fridge were warm when we took them out the fridge the next day, The cooked breakfast was poor as the bacon and the tomatoes were both burnt on top, the sausages were very firm and dry as if they had been sitting on the hot plate for a while and the poached eggs hadn't been drained very well which left water on the plate which permeated the other breakfast items. Shame no one asked for feedback when we checked out.
Friendly, welcoming staff. Location was very good.

United KingdomNo evening meal was an option. We had to rely on a takeaway which was frankly inedible. Cook food in smaller batches to preserve quality. Smaller mushrooms are nicer than large ones. Add some dried fruit and seeds to the cold buffet and fresher fruit to the fruit basket. Toasted oats and coconut flakes (not nuts) would also be nice. More grain bread, not just 50/50. Almond butter would mean those with a peanut allergy (in which peanuts can be airborne) could attend breakfast. A healthier breakfast 'special' could also benefit athletes and guests eg healthier muffins or a hot dish. The sausage wasn't great, nor were the mushrooms.
The reception staff were great. The shower was good, and the bed was comfortable. The room was uncomplicated. It was clean. The heat was easy to control. Curtain were good blackout quality.

United KingdomLarge double bed but mattress was on a plywood platform and so was quite firm. I had a disabled room (which wasn't requested). It had a large wet room. The shower wasn't easy to operate.
Located on the campus so offers an alternative to the conference centre accommodation. Modern and clean. Parking possible - have to go through a barrier to get to the entrance. Breakfast had a reasonable range of choices.

United KingdomWater pressure in the shower wasn't great and the water wasn't very hot, but serviceable. The site is very busy at night for sports use so only a couple of parking spaces available but there were more carparks on site that we could have used.
Perfect location for my son's interview at the university. Quiet location, although the restaurant was not open the incredibly helpful and patient manager guided us to a restaurant where we had an excellent dinner.

PakistanThere should be another way to clean those bathroom. Every time a person takes bath, the water just stays on the floor and never gets drained unless or until either wiped with a towel or wiped through a manual wiper. Both were not present in the bathrooms. Plus, the bathroom ventilation system need to be more efficient, the current one takes for ever to dry and take ventilate.
The room was comfortable. The beds are were of just the right size, as needed by a small family. The bar was also fully loaded, with plenty of tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
