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 bed was too soft for me, but it was only for 1 night I did not ask for a firm mattress when booking.
Very close to Exeter Airport, with a 2 minute walk to the airport. Never met any staff members. We had an email from them on the day of arrival with a key code for our room keys outside in a coded key box. Room was quite large and the bathroom was clean

United KingdomI gave a grumpy face for staff simply because there weren't any. I did not like the impersonal key entry system, which didn't work as it should, and required a telephone call from me. Not a good start when I was already stressed about thye imminent flight.
It provided what I needed for an overnight stay and an early start.

United KingdomNo shower curtain . The water went everywhere . I had to mop the floor up with the towels so I didn't get my trousers wet when using the toilet . No toiletries bar a small bar of soap? There should be shampoo as a minimum . Towels were hard and stiff. Mind u , you dried quicker with them ! Television on the wall didn't work so another was placed underneath it standing on a bath mat. As there was a (stained) sofa bed at the end of the bed ,you could only see half the TV from the bed . Needs new pillows , or needs three pillows per person as these were paper thin
Lovely big room . Great location to the car park and airport . Very clean . Deceivingly comfy bed . Felt very relaxed in the room .

United Kingdomno outside lights making it very difficult walk around in the dark (potholes & ice) Closing the bathroom door is very difficult without jamming yourself beside the toilet, would benefit from a sliding door. when I arrived just after 17:00 after a long journey, I locked my car and went to front door to be confronted by a row of key-safes, I checked my texts, couldn’t check my emails as I didn’t know the password, luckily my wife was at home and read our the email from the company giving me the room number & code, if she hadn’t been there, what could I have done??
