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 KingdomCharging for WiFi in the room is old school. Parking space isn't guaranteed even if you pay £5.
Good value room if you're staying for one or two nights. Exactly what was needed. Read reviews and was worried about cleanliness, but the room was very clean.

I was expecting it to be dated and unclean but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a bit dated but very clean and well ran. The woman in the bar at night could do with a helping hand but she was happy pleasant and got on with it despite queues building up.

United KingdomSome of the other hotel staff came across as uninterested and unhelpful, it made us feel uncomfortable and not welcomed. The room wasn’t 100% clean, we found hairs in the bathroom. The fire alarm went off during our stay, so we evacuated using the fire escape, but none of the staff seemed to acknowledge this, we went to reception to explain and they just said ‘oh yeah, that was just someone having a shower in their room’
The building and outdoor areas were amazing, impressive decor in the main reception and leisure room. We also wanted to give a shoutout to Amy who worked on reception, she was extremely welcoming, positive and cheerful, and the hotel is lucky to have her and she will go very far in life

United KingdomOn arrival on going to our room we found it had not been cleaned and the bedding had not been changed. They moved us to a different room larger, but there was a funny smell the first night and the ceiling light sculpture was too bright Do not pay for wifi in the bedrooms because it does not work, also the broadband for the tv did not work and could not get BBCiplayer or amazon to connect
Breakfast was good and the staff were excellent and helpful

Isle of ManThe bedroom (318) and bathroom both had vertical hot water pipes which acted as permanent "radiators" (the radiator and towel rail themselves were turned off!) and made the bedroom uncomfortably warm and dry, even with the widow opened all the time to its limit (about 6 inches!)

United KingdomDecor is a little tired, but not a problem for me. Ate in the restaurant a couple of times. It was OK but not great. There are lots of restaurants in the town.
Buffet-style full English breakfast was great. Bed very large (super-king) and comfortable. Bar has some local ales Location is easy walking distance to town centre.
