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 KingdomSadly the breakfasts could have been tastier. The cheese and tomato omelette was heavy and unpalatable. The scrambled egg, with smoked salmon, was greasy and tasteless. The full English breakfast was fine apart from the sausage and the mushrooms (which were obviously not fresh, and probably out of a tin). We decided not to try the evening meals after looking at the menu.
We were happy with our room and the beautiful view of the sea. Unfortunately breakfast did not live up to the standard of a four star hotel (in my opinion). The full English breakfast was fine apart from the sausage and the mushrooms (which were obviously not fresh). The omelette was heavy and unpalatable. The scrambled egg and smoked salmon, would have been lovely, but the scrambled egg which was greasy and tasteless.

United KingdomI am a younger person and I saw one other young couple with a baby, the rest of the demographic were older people however this may also be due to the time of year and school holidays have finished.
Location was amazing, right next to the sea and spent the evening sat outside listening to the waves crash into the sea walls below. Took a nice walk into down along the costal path which you can access from the bottom gate. I had a single room but the bed was very spacious for just myself.

Beautiful views, lovely location, clean comfortable room, staff were absolutely delightful and so helpful! The restaurant particularly was great, they went out of their way to accommodate my diet and even made me a special tofu curry! The indoor pool is nice too, clean and peaceful.

United KingdomCreaking floors in rooms and corridors. The bar and restaurant service could have been better. Although the staff worked hard, they often failed to notice that guests had not been given a chance to order food and it took over half an hour to receive a drink on our first night at the Terrace Bar - the staff worked hard but method and efficiency were lacking.
Wonderful location overlooking a small beach with far-reaching views. Good gym and swimming facilities. Friendly staff. Lovely terrace bar, with sea views, for evening drinks and light meals.
