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...).

DenmarkVery expensive restaurant, the serving staff and surroundings were amazing, but the food not so inspiring. The predish with smoked salmon, looked like just came from a package to the plate, no dressing just sliced cucumbers on the top. The deserts tasted good , but again just cake on a plate no topping or berrys to make it shine. The steak and fries were good, but came with a very tiny bowl of bearnaise sauce and nothing else. To the high price , we found it to minimalistic.

United KingdomI was concerned about the door to the outside. I reported this. I would have expected the manager to see me about it but he/she/they didn’t and that was disappointing. I am not convinced anything will be done about it and it needs to be attended to.
The room was very comfortable with all the amenities expected of a good hotel.

United KingdomWe were extremely annoyed to be presented with a 3%service charge fee as we were checking out. We’ve NEVER experienced this before in any hotel we’ve ever stayed in. It has marred an otherwise lovely stay. The service charge was not paid.
Lovely and cosy, welcoming and clean.

United KingdomI'm only putting things here to help them get absolutely perfect! I did not like having "Accommodation Service Charge" (of 3%) added to my bill without explanation. I had not come across this before but apparently it's becoming the norm with very good hotels. They did take it off when I asked about it. It should have been communicated to me that it is an optional service tip and I would have appreciated knowing exactly how much goes to the staff. The food in the restaurant is really good, but the service is slow though lovely (I had also had a lunch there before). The hand held shower was broken but I know they would have fixed this by now, as they took good notes. Now really nitpicking: the coffee machine only does luke warm and not big cups, and there is nothing to say what the coffee pods are, some people prefer soap bars rather than liquid soap.
Room and breakfast, and dinner for 8 people. I really loved this hotel and would go back and even request the same room. The staff were always efficient - from reserving me a slightly larger parking space, getting me a slightly earlier check out, and being professional and friendly throughout. I loved the room - they gave me a free upgrade. But what was good was the attention to detail - lovely furniture and decor, good bathroom products, everything I needed, interesting paintings, etc.. Very good food.
