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.).

United KingdomFor the price we paid, we were expecting a bit better furniture in the room. The towel rail in the very nice bathroom wasnt warm. But the staff were extremely helpful and accommodated our needs when my husband fell ill. An ambuance was called immediately and I was supported kindly. The extra time we needed to stay was very well negotiated.

United KingdomThe carpet had a few stains/marks but had been vacuumed - some spot cleaning would have given a better impression. The bathroom was modern and clean but lacked hooks / enough rail space for towels.
Breakfast was very good as was our evening meal in The Captain's Table restaurant at the hotel. There was free parking in a small car park at the side of the hotel and we were allowed to stay until 2pm after checking out, which was helpful. The hotel is ideally situated for visiting the Historic Dockyard, Gunwharf Quays outlet shopping, and the Spinnaker Tower and it is only a short walk to Old Portsmouth. The train, IOW ferry terminal and buses are opposite the hotel. There was daily room service. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Staff were very helpful, polite and more than willing to give advice. a Quaint hotel that is literally across the road from all amenities. Clean and Tidy. Parking was a bonus. A lovely hidden gem.

United KingdomThe room wasn’t particularly attractive. The view out of the window was very unattractive! Probably why the windows have frosted glass!
Big, friendly and well located. Friendly staff and a restaurant and bar. Stayed twice. Clean and quiet. Private parking. Opposite the Spinnaker. I’d stay again. Good value.

United KingdomUnfortunately, on this visit I had a room on the lower floor which was adjacent to some sort of fan motor which I could hear running at night. I could also hear extra motors starting up early in the morning (presumably from the kitchen) Also overlooking the side road where the HGV's parked whilst making there deliveries - so even more noise.
The Location is Perfect. The Hotel is very nicely decorated. The Staff are always very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are good value for money and there is a good choice of items from the buffet and also a very nice cooked breakfast. The bathrooms are very modern. The rooms are very well serviced. The hotel bar is staffed all night.
