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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesI would highly recommend Gresham Court. Of all the places I have stayed during this vacation, this was the number one top spot. The owners were the nicest, most accommodating hosts. Added to that was the delicious breakfasts. In addition, the whole place is spotlessly clean. The attention to details is amazing. You will not regret making this guest house your vacation destination.

Absolutely fabulous, a beautiful room with lots of lovely little touches ( little bottles of wine, real milk, and beautiful toiletries plus lots more) spotlessly clean and very generous sized bedroom and bathroom. Caroline was a fantastic host so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was one of the best we had ever had, the choice and quality was fantastic. Great location only a short walk to the harbour and shops. We will definitely be back.

United KingdomThe hosts provided thoughtful little touches that added extra ease to the stay - a huge selection of beverage options in the room and a little fridge with milk provided; umbrellas by the front door for guest use; leaflets in the room about local attractions. If there was anything they could do to make your stay pleasant, they had. I had the continental breakfast and the selection they provided was tasty and varied. I felt very safe and welcome as a solo traveller. A convenient short walk into town. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

Russell went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable, and made sure I had everything I need! Breakfast was amazing, all freshly cooked and had the option of continental. I have to say, this was the best holiday I’ve had in years and it’s all thanks to the hotel and its hosts!

United KingdomBathroom a bit small and shower pressure was quite low. None of these impacted our stay.
Amazing place. We had a lovely decorated room, spacious enough and very clean. We had a mini fridge with fresh milk and drinks, which is a really nice touch. Although it was quite hot being on the top floor we were provided with a fan and it was just fine. We also slept with the window open, and I was concerned the noise will disturb our sleep but it was actually quiet all throughout the night. Our bathroom was super clean and even had a night mist, which I've never had in a chain hotel, so that was lovely. The breakfast was amazing, loads of options, the cooked one was cooked to perfection and big portions, fresh fruit and drinks, protein bars etc and the decor was just absolutely lovely! The hosts were also very lovely, so we will definitely be coming back here!
