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.).

IrelandThe decor was mid-renovation in our room so didn't instantly look great but it wasn't a deal breaker. Equally the bathroom needed the renovations to be completed to fix a few tiles, etc. Everything worked though. I had emailed the hotel twicw since my stay however I did not receive a reply which was disappointing.
Great location and the staff were friendly. Our room was possibly mid-renovation and a little more work required to make it a great room. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet despite being groundfloor at the front of the hotel. Breakfast was good but I suspect their croissants might not have come from their kitchen! Our room was very big and had an adjoining small bedroom with bunkbeds, so ideal for families.

United StatesRooms felt dated (not as nice as the photos) and carpet/ furniture was a bit stained.
The breakfast was excellent and staff very friendly. The bed was very comfortable and the room was pretty pretty big. It was quiet and a great location to sites. The showers were good temperature and pressure. At first I was a bit sad that the room didn’t look as nice as the photos but the room was comfy and quiet. The common areas and outdoor garden are very nice as well. I thought the rate was worth it especially with how nice the breakfast is. I would stay again.

United KingdomI felt the property lacked TLC, you can see it would have been quite ‘boutique’ before, but at the moment it is very very tired looking with a need of fresh paint and an over all freshen up to liven the place up. Then I feel it would be perfect.
I loved the location, it was very central just what we needed

United KingdomRoom was very tiny. At a breakfast time, staff was very unorganized, mixing orders etc. Food wasn't the best. Very slow service. So if you are in the rush to airport or somewhere else then it is not for you.

AustraliaIt was not spotlessly clean some stains on furniture and mould in bathrooms but bedding and kettle etc were very clean. It wasn't absolutely yuk. The street entrance was a bit dingy and hallways dark and narrow. As a single woman I was a little on edge going out into the street especially at night.
Rooms were quite nice. Some care has been taken to make them attractive in a very old building

United KingdomSadly our tv, bed side light and extractor fan didn't work. We mentioned it to the staff who said they would sort it, but unfortunately that didnt happen during our stay. Not the end of the world, just a shame they didn't work as the rest of our stay was great
Very nice, cosy rooms. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were a good size.

GermanyThe bed was really uncomfortable and the mattress needed to be renewed long time ago. Everything in the room and bathroom seamed pretty old (but not in a charming way).
Great people at the reception, very friendly and helpful. The room was cleaned every day. Coffee and tea were refilled every day. Heating and warm water in the shower both worked very well. The location is fine, about 20 minutes walking distance from old town.

United KingdomI didn't have breakfast there, as I thought £15 quite pricey. My room was located on the first floor, at the very end of the corridor through a set of small double doors (this was a tight squeeze) just by the service stairs. Which as I said I didn't mind as it was super quiet for me, but I suppose some people wouldn't of liked this.
It was decorated beautifully, the bed was super comfy. It was very quiet. Staff were super helpful. Quite a big room with a big bathroom. Not very far from Edinburgh City centre at all. I would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomSeveral things broken or damaged in the room. We had 2 twin rooms, one had a smart tv, the other just a very small regular tv. Sheets and bedding were uncomfortable. Very expensive for what it was and about 15 drive to the centre.
Rooms were very spacious, staff were very friendly.

United KingdomThe decor would benefit from a little maintenance especially in the communal areas and perhaps the next investment could be in upgrading the mattresses. However this would also allow the hotel to charge more perhaps.
The staff were amazing, the breakfast was good and the location great with parking (at an additional cost).
