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.).

SpainThe kitchen closes for breakfast at 10. Too early when you are on vacation. We arrived at 10 for breakfast and they could not serve us because kitchen was closed. I would have liked a little of flexibility from the management.
The facilities and location were great.

United KingdomNothing to report here. We liked everything. We had very simple requirements and these were fully met.
This hotel is such a gem. On arrival the staff were so nice and warm and friendly. You could immediately tell that it was a family run private hotel and not a chain. I had assumed it was a chain because of the OYO logo but apparently that's just another booking site that makes them use their branding. Don't let that put you off, it's not a chain at all. The staff were the same for the whole of our stay so we got to know them just a little and they really looked after us. The overarching ethos we decided they must have was "how can we make this even nicer for our guests?". The cream tea and the cake were both amazing. Bottomless tea with that! What a great idea! Later checkout than most hotels. Accommodating unusual breakfast requests. Coming to get you for dinner from the lounge and carrying your drinks through for you.... everything was just so considerate. We can't wait to go back.

UPDATE TO THIS REVIEW We booked this hotel through Booking.com and paid for 2 nights full board, which includes dinner, bed and breakfast. On arrival we were told that the restaurant isn't open on Tuesday night so we couldn't have dinner there. They said we should claim a refund through Booking.com. After several weeks and a plethora of attempts I finally got hold of someone at Booking.com. I was told they'd look into the matter. That was in September. Heard nothing since and no refund. The VERY LEAST the hotel should have done is refund us for the dinner we had to pay for in Torquay. Although I gave it a glowing review 1st time, we'll never stay at Orestone again and will advise our friends and family not to either. Breakfast was very good The room was lovely. We were in Shire outside which had a living room and bedroom. The hot tub was super, state of the art. Not one of those circular ones but a 2-person tub. The staff were really helpful and polite.

United KingdomWe would have liked to be able to choose what time we ate our evening meal, however do understand that as they had a private function on both evenings things were busier than usual.
The food was not only beautiful and very tasty, but excellent sized portions too. The choice was excellent, the venison and Halibut were especially delicious. Our room was cozy, with stunning sea views and lovely and quiet as we were on the top floor as requested. Thank you everyone.
