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.).

Location is perfect when coming with car - just off A14 and avoiding the town traffic. Parking is free and there are plenty of parking spaces. The room was nothing special but clean, bright and we found everything we needed. The breakfast was as you would imaging -tasty and fulfilling. Dinner was nice and tasty.

United KingdomWe were in the pool and to be honest, I don’t know who does the cleaning. There are places where the windows and glass are very dirty, including where the Jacuzzis are located. There is a special ventilation shaft there, which Very dirty, including where women and men go to shower. There is also a special mesh there that ventilates the air in the room. She is also very dirty. I also don’t understand why the shower in the room where people wash after the pool doesn’t work; it’s also in a broken state. And also a dirty wall. I don't understand. Well, to be honest, this shouldn’t happen in a room like this. What about the rooms? I don't understand why all your windows are blocked. I understand if we were on the first floor so that no one would get inside, but we were upstairs and our first window was simply blocked. We couldn’t unlock it, that is, open it, including the ventilation vents, which are working. It didn’t let us in either, it was cold in our room, on the contrary, just stuffy. As for food, also uh, Who cooks? As I understand it, everything is practically cooked, either very fatty, or all practically frozen food is not very good. I tried eating photos.
A huge plus deserves the staff, who practically responded to any request at will. This is the only thing. And this is really worth a lot, because people do not work in all hotels and restaurants, as they work here quite pleasantly and clearly explain everything that is and is not there. So what should you do

United KingdomThe room was very small and my wife is not very mobile and although there was a walk-in shower she found it very difficult to use as there were no hand-holds in the shower especially near the entrance
Staff were efficientt and friendly, particularly Viktoria in the restaurant. As we spent very little time in the hotel other than sleeping and breakfast it is difficult to say more. The one dinner we had with our family was fine.

United KingdomThe hotel was busy & they were obviously short staffed, so it wasn't the fault of the staff, but food took over an hour to arrive, & breakfast was chaotic. The family room was very small, tiny bathroom. The hotel seems to cancel you room card as every time I have stayed (5 times) I have had to return to reception after breakfast as my card no longer works. This is very frustrating, particularly when you're in room 250!!
We have stayed here often & we all had an excellent night's sleep. Very comfortable beds.

The hotel, staff and spa were lovely. The only complaint was that my wife ordered a meal at the bar in the evening, but it didn’t arrive. When she checked, they said the order had left the kitchen but must have been given to another table. The bar was not busy so not sure how mistake could happen. Anyways they quickly made another meal which arrived promptly.
