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 KingdomOnly reason I didn't give it a ten was that the shower had a weird smell and my daughter found a stray hair in her bed.
Great location, lovely hotel. Breakfast was delicious- first hotel scrambled eggs that have been good to eat and not hard and watery. Staff were all very polite. Loved the swimming pool and sauna. Only reason I didn't give it a ten was that the shower had a weird smell and my daughter found a stray hair in her bed. Will stay again!

South AfricaGlaringly obvious blood stain on sofa.(Room 349) The toilet while clean, had a dark stain where the toilet brush was unable to reach, and should have been bleached. Both of these are a failure of housekeeping. The hotel was otherwise great. I would still stay there again, (preferably after the housekeeping manager had been replaced.)
Great location within easy walk of city centre, good, young vibe to the hotel, swimming pool included in price, parking at hotel, helpful reception staff, nice restaurant, too.

United KingdomThe hotel had many families staying and the children were in and out of the sauna, jacuzzi and steam room. I believe they should have been 16 to use the facilities, staff didn’t say anything to the children and neither did the parents.
The facilities, rooms are very clean and comfortable big beds, good food and drink selection in the bar. Location is perfect.

United KingdomThe lift was too slow, especially when checking out. we had to wait 10 minutes before using it, since it was all packed. They should not charge for the car park, as there are no other way to access the hotel...
The room was spacious enough and generally clean. Swimming pool was good size for the kids to play in with someone supervising all the time.

United KingdomLift was out of order and had to use the service lift. The queue to check in went out of the door, into the carpark and also merged with a queue of people to get into the spa/swimming facilities, with only 2 members of staff on the desk.
Great facilities, clean, spacious, friendly staff, affordable, 20min walk into centre, parking on site.

United KingdomToilet bowl in room 255 was full of nasty looking scale, and ran all the time wasting water, the sink plug didn't work either. The lockers in the pool were broken or didn't work. The spin dryer for swimming stuff didn't work in the men's changing room. after messaging and phoning the hotel 4 times re a baby cot, one still hadn't been left, had to ask again. Some of the desk staff were difficult to converse with or understand. Sauna in the pool area was broken.
Location and guest parking were reasonably priced which was excellent. Hotel fragrance was nice. Reception area was very pleasant. Pool temperature was good, not to cold. Steam room was good.
