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.).

Loved the hotel - very well done and an amazing bathroom. Really nice being able to pop accross the road to their restaurant for dinner. The staff were so nice and very helpful. We really, really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back.

United KingdomCan't think of anything that could be improved. Found the stairs somewhat of a chore but then we were at the top. There is a lot of work going on outside the hotel at the harbour to counter erosion which made parking close to the hotel a slight problem but there is plenty of parking nearby. The hotel is in a good position with plenty of lovely walks you can go on and a short walk to the centre of town.
Breakfast was excellent as was the service. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was well cooked and a good variety. The room we were in was at the top which involved climbing a lot of steps but the view from the room was great. My grandparents house was right across the harbour so I got a good view of it bringing back many happy memories. The staff were very friendly. You felt they were genuinely happy see you and give help if necessary. The room was lovely. Loved the tiling , had a copper bath which was lovely to look at but far too deep for me to attempt to get in. You could almost swim in it! Bed was comfortable ensuite had a lovely huge head and plenty of hot water. Water and lager in the mini fridge which you could help yourself to along with snacks. All in all a great place to stay.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like.
The location was ideal for exploring the town without using a car, and also for accessing public transport. The breakfast was superb, with a wide choice, all of very high quality. We also used the Hive Kitchen for dinner and were very impressed. The room was beautifully equipped and the owners provided a generous range of complimentary drinks & snacks. It was however the attitude of all the staff that left the strongest impression - we were extremely well looked after.

United KingdomThe sound from parts of the building was a little noisy.
The room was beautifully designed and furnished with a luxurious bath and comfortable bed. We had beautiful views from our room and enjoyed our evening at Hive across the road. We loved the complimentary drinks in the fridge, the thoughtful extras like the hairdryer (ghd), clothes steamer and phone chargers as well as the bathroom extras together with a complementary ice cream. So many thoughtful touches.

Everything was fantastic. This is my new favourite place to escape to. The staff are so friendly and will go out of their way to accommodate you in whatever you need. The bed was so comfortable and the rooms decorated beautifully with some free extra touches that make you feel special. The corner rooms have great views across the river, the rooms on the side overlook the inland harbour which is currently under repairs along its walls at the moment so no boats or water in it. Massive portions for breakfast, I couldn't finish it which broke my heart as the food is wonderfully tasty. I can't wait to come back. Lots of other lovely restaurants close by. All in all a great place to go for a foodie weekend.

This is an outstanding property. The accomodation is excellent and has been decorated and designed to a very high standard. The owners and staff evidently care about what they are offering and have added many little extra touches such as a free mini bar and free ice cream in their Hive restaurant to add to the enjoyment of the stay. Excellent breakfast in the Hive restaurant. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed.
