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 KingdomNothing major but you could feel the springs on mattress of the double bed that we slept on.
We stayed there for 7 days and have to say that Tony and Adele were a really nice couple who were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. They generously upgraded us to a bigger room. Rooms were decent , clean and comfortable with plenty of different pillow shapes. Room temperature was perfect. Breakfast was really delicious. We would definitely recommend this place and thank you to Tony and Adele for being amazing hosts.

United KingdomNothing - everything was super
We booked at the very last minute, and Adele & Tony were super hosts from the moment we walked through the front door. Even though it was very last minute, they upgraded us to a bigger room that was immaculate. Everything has been thought through in the rooms, beautiful clean & fresh linen, pillows that are divine to sleep on, PG Tips teabags next to the kettle (always a winner!), the most wonderful mirror in the bathroom for doing make up in! We had breakfast both mornings we were there & it was superb. Full English cooked fresh, arriving at the table piping hot! If extra is wanted Tony & Adele are more than happy to rustle some more up. All areas of the hotel are clean & tidy, and it’s clear the love and time that Tony & Adele have ploughed in to it. The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from the front, a fantastic location and exactly what we’d hoped for. However, once you’re tucked up in bed you’d never know - we had two restful, quiet nights sleep. We’d highly recommend the Franklin to anyone who are looking for an excellent location with excellent hosts. We’ll be back!
