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 KingdomRoom ambiance & no provision of electrical sockets, Cost being on higher side
Too compact but neat and clean with spacious bathroom. However, the checking was difficult being new person and not able to find the entrance as main doors were locked. probably a better guidance should help. also the rooms do not have electrical sockets, especially near table. Only sockets were near bed and had inconvenience in using kettle due to this.

United KingdomLack of pillows. Window in room needed 2 people to open it fully. Fire alarm very early in the morning - we stood outside for ages before fire brigade arrived. The people responsible for the alarm stayed in their room which seems a bit unfair.
The room was basic but adequate. 2 pillows per bed would have improved our comfort.

CanadaFirstly,no humans to be seen! Frustration at gaining access to front door…we were helped then over our stay we helped three sets of guests to gain entry. Should mention the steps to get to rooms….
I have to think about that, it was clean but old and nothing like the pictures on Booking.com. Secure parking…it was central once we figured out where we were

United StatesThe fire alarm went off at 3:15 AM and the manager didn’t show up until 5 AM. Luckily the fire department was able to come shut it off.
I liked how close it was to town. Walking or taking the bus are great options to get into town. It was clean.

United KingdomThe property is in need of some updating; the bathroom door was very stiff - an older person might easily find themselves unable to open the door! We also hadn't appreciated that the property doesn't have an on-site reception (instead, you are sent a code for collecting your room key from a machine). The property is not very baby friendly - the hotel does not have a lift, and our room was located on the first floor. This was quite difficult for us as we had to carry our pram up and down stairs numerous times a day. Unfortunately, the fire alarm went off at 1.20am one night during our stay. We waited outside for 40 minutes, only to be told (by firefighters) that it was a false alarm. No representative of the hotel has been in touch with us since, either to offer an apology or a partial refund. This is extremely poor.
The property is very well located. There is a lovely park just opposite the property and the property is a very short walk to good cafes, pubs and restaurants. Our room was clean, and well equipped with ample tea, coffee and milk, as well as a hairdryer, iron and ironing board.

United KingdomDirty, shower room blocked. Hot water takes ages to come, lots of water waste. Staff is none existent and the person who answers the phone has very poor English and not helpful whatsoever. Finding the room was a bit of a challenge as they have some odd numerical system. Some of the rooms are literally on the parking lot.
Location is great. Lots of shops and places to eat around. But nothing else.

NetherlandsWe have never seen anyone at the reception. The hotel has selfcheck in and check out service and handing the keys, so if you have any troubles with any of those, probably, you will not get immediate support. All furniture in the room was quite old, it needs to be repaired here and there and cleaned properly. In general cleaning should be done better everywhere in the room. We had room on -1, so we heard very well everything what was going on above us and around: noice isolation almost doesn't exist. Also beaming light from the front yard projector was lighting right in our window and it was quite irritating. We closed curtains tight to make it less disturbing.
This guest house is located in nice area. It is not noisy or busy around, however there're few good restaurants and pubs in the neighborhood. Easy to get to the city center by foot or by public transport. Room was quite big. Kitchenette appliances were there for our use.

United KingdomBed was uncomfortable. No Wi-Fi in room 10. There was coffee in the kettle which took a while to wash out. No visible staff. I did briefly happen to see the manager in reception but was a chance encounter I think. I prefer the personal touch on check in and seeing staff .
We didn’t have breakfast. Didn’t realise it was an option? Room with a view was nice, top floor with views across the park. Close proximity to tram stop.

United KingdomThe luggage hold area is not secure. Anyone can come and take luggage. There should be a token system and one staff member should control this. We arrived early and we wanted to leave our luggage but we felt it was unsafe. Secondly, our next door people knocked on the door at 9pm very strongly not once but twice. That's very rude.
It was clean and tidy. I like the bed. The room is fully equipped.
