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 KingdomCar parking was tricky. Car park out front would get 3 or 4 cars in dependent on size and consideration of first guests to arrive. Parking out in the road ( free with a voucher from the host) could be a better option for guests with bigger cars. Standard room means standard double bed, not king size. For more than one night consider a twin room.
Clean room, heating fine, bed comfortable, kettle and tea, etc fine. Plenty of hangers and enough drawer space. Great breakfast with plenty of choices. Well prepared and served. Friendly and attentive host.

United KingdomNothing to dislike as our guest hosts Andy and Valerie so warm and friendly and we all received an excellent service from themselves at their Esk Vale guest house and with a superb breakfast personally served to ourselves by Andy in morning we really enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend their guest house if you are staying in Portsmouth at anytime. 10/10***
Our guest host Andy warmly greeted ourselves when we arrived and there were plenty of parking spaces available to park our car on their driveway which was then reserved for us for only £5 for our whole stay there and both myself and my husband and my sister-in-law had two lovely on-suite bedrooms on the ground floor which were both beautifully decorated and we had a very comfortable double bed with two side drawer cabinets with a nice table lamp on each side with a drinks coaster each provided which was a nice touch and included on the desk opposite was a lovely tray with an electric kettle and plenty of tea, coffee, milk and sugar sachets with biscuits provided for ourselves to enjoy while relaxing watching programmes on the flat TV screen above the desk, also plenty of lovely soft white towels provided and new wooden hangers in their open slated cupboard to hang our coats/clothes on was just perfect and we even had a small portable radiator to plug in if we felt cold at anything and our on-suite included the toilet with plenty of toilet rolls, a lovely sink and shower unit with a nice selection of toiletries provided, what more could we want and with an superb breakfast included in the morning we would definitely stay with Andy and his wife Valerie in their lovely Esk Vale Guest House when we are visiting Portsmouth again and will definitely highly recommend them to our family and friends for their warmth and excellent service. With all our Thanks for a lovely stay. Mr & Mrs D. and V. Bardrick and Mrs T. Richards

United KingdomNo complaints at all!
I have used Esk Vale about 3 times as an overnight stay before a running or cycling event. It's clean and comfortable, and very reasonably priced. The hosts are very helpful and even let me store my bike in their shed to keep it secure overnight!I've never had breakfast as I have to leave early! It's in an excellent location for me as my events always start near the DDay Museum.
