Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThere wasn’t much on the menu at the restaurant for vegans. But talking to staff they made sure I got a lovely breakfast. Landings and stairs to the rooms were a bit creaky so could hear people passing at night/in the morning but a minor minor thing, didn’t wake me up or stop me sleeping!
The room was excellent, spacious, comfortable and clean. I did have to unplug the mini fridge but after that had a great nights sleep. Staff were happy to help with anything I asked about.

United KingdomI found a wee bug in my bed, but I just popped it out the window and it was all good. Bugs do appear from time to time and it isn't a mark on the cleanliness of the hotel.
Dot is a fabulous host and the food was delicious! Lovely clean bedroom and nice location away from the town centre but only a 5 min walk in. Breakfast was great with lots of options and snacks to take away for the day. Mini fridge in bedroom too.

United KingdomIn the bathroom there was a notice asking not to put anything but toilet paper into the toilet but no sanitary bin for disposal any other way. The only bin was in the main room and had no lid. I thought the room could have benefitted from more period style art work. The bright red clashed with the subtle grey wallpaper, as did the brown cushions.
The property has a beautiful garden and is a stunning property, with a very welcoming entrance area. I’d been placed in a room more suited to my needs - getting ready for my wedding - at no extra cost. There was also a huge mirror to use. I was also offered a bacon butty in my room. The staff did bend over backwards to help. The room was comfortable, the bedding felt lovely and I slept very well.
