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 KingdomIt would be full marks all round if they had bath tubs in the standard rooms. This is the sort of hotel you want to pamper yourself in and enjoy the hotel room!
Absolutely loved this hotel and the friendly, old fashioned service and excellent restaurant.

United KingdomPrice for the use of the spa was expensive for what was there, continental breakfast wasn’t very nice (potatoes were hard and tomatoes were cold) but other food (yogurts, pastries etc was nice). There wasn’t any windows that could open in the room so we woke up to the windows with a lot of condensation on them to the point we couldn’t see out of them, this is obviously a problem as the wood was very damp near the window area we’re this has been happening for a while.
Hotel is beautiful and the staff are very friendly, located in the city centre so perfect for shopping. Bed was so comfy I didn’t want to get out! And cocktail were amazing.

United KingdomThe room was bland (no pictures). The window really needed a voile/net curtain for privacy. The towel rail was in completely the wrong position and hard to access. It must be very difficult for the staff doing changeovers.

United KingdomIt's a shame the pool isn't made available to residents at a lower cost - it would've been nice to have a quick dip before heading out for the evening.
Just about everything. Enjoyed socialising in the bar area lunchtime and managed a nightcap late evening. We didn't get around to having an evening meal as we'd booked elsewhere months earlier. But looking at the menu, it's a must for next time. Staff were great, rooms exceptionally clean with a huge shower! Location spot on too. We can't wait to return.
