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...).

United KingdomAlthough the dinner menu was full of enticing options, the food wasn't the highlight of my stay. The wine was very good though and there were many excellent options inside and outside to enjoy a tipple and take in the views.
A beautiful setting and friendly staff welcomed me to this hotel. The location, overlooking the sea was spectacular. Inside, the hotel was perfectly comfortable. Both the indoor and outdoor heated pool looked very welcoming but, unfortunately,I wasn't able to partake on this occasion.

United KingdomThe first room we were given had no working power sockets. No phone charging, tv, kettle etc. We ended up having to re pack and move rooms at 11pm. The next morning, in the upgraded room, the shower did not work. It was eventually 'fixed' but using it was the most complicated process that had to be demonstrated to us. Never has using a shower been so ridiculously difficult.
Restaurant food was excellent. Staff were well trained.

United KingdomFurniture tired and bashed in bedroom. We weren’t told of the extent of the scaffolding until the day we were arriving, then told we’d basically have to put up with it as no other rooms were available and as we’d booked through booking.com we would not get a refund. In the end another room was found. Spa area very tired and you can’t really call it a spa!
Room was a lovely size, lovely views, friendly staff. Food very good.

United KingdomNo disabled access to the hotel. We had to carry my son’s pram the stairs every time we enter/exit the hotel. It was too hot in our room during the day even with the heating switch off. Breakfast was average.
We were staying in one of the junior suites and our room was spacious and clean. We had a lovely view of the sea. Didn’t use a lot of the hotel’s facilities as we were there only for two nights. The staff were polite, especially at the reception.

United Kingdom327 Athlone The room I was allocated was on the third floor facing the back, up the pretty hillside. Although next to the lift, the lift was quite. The room to my left, their shower room extraction fan was very loud; as was the noise coming from the two boiler flues outside the room windows. Due to the sash windows not having secondary glazing, the noise from the two boiler flues stopped me sleeping. So I did not sleep at all and left early around 9am. I would like some form of compensation.
The beautiful location. The calm, relaxing feeling within the Hotel. The room size for a single occupancy was ample, and a nice size double bed was welcome. Clean and tidy. I had a few issues but will inform the manager, so they can be resolved for other clients.

United KingdomSee other comment.
Staff were great. Really first class - well done! I found some of the hotel infrastructure somewhat lacking. Shower too feeble I mentioned this to the deputy manager On breakfast table I would have liked a hot water jug to accompany the tea and coffee jugs. The milk jug left on the table was too small. We need a big one from which to top up our teas and coffees. Also plenty of butter pats on the breakfast table so we're not up and down to the buffettable so much.
