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.).

MaltaConfirmed the days for a room clean when I checked in, yet after 3 days, the room still had not been cleaned. Had to ask the cleanng lady to do a quick freshen up. Rooms could really do with a small fridge to keep cold water in.
Breakfast was good, healthy and substantial. Good options for continental and English. Really enjoyed it.

United KingdomBreakfast was very limited on the sunday morning of our stay. It was a lot busier and even though breakfast was extended till later this day, there wasnt enough to go round. Darts were broken for one of the boards which was a shame.
Hotel lobby was brilliant, free games for guests staying was a real bonus for us. Bed was super comfy and breakfast was lovely. Staff member that checked us in was very nice. Loved the decor across entire hotel.

United KingdomIf I had to ask for more, it would be USB sockets to charge phones. The Hotel has a modern vibe, I was surprised there wasn't any charging points. A mirror in the bedroom would be good, the shower room one, although huge gets steamed up. We had to open the window as we were hot, and didn't manage to get the air con working, it just made a noise. Perhaps some guidance next to it would be good. We were put in a quiet part of the hotel, but unfortunately listened to lots of people walking by below as the window was open it was loud, noise bouncing off the nearby buildings. We were also treated to the loudest thunderstorm we've ever heard! So sleep didn't come in good amounts.
It was a 10 minute walk from the station. We were greeted with a smile and friendly welcome. We were given lots of information about the hotel and what it had to offer, it has a lot to offer! We accessed the room level via a lift in the lobby. The room was modern and spacious, it had a large bed, with a fairly firm mattress and two duvets, great idea, so your partner can't steal all of yours! We had fluffy white towels, bathrobes and slippers were available. There's a shower room, with the only mirror in. Large T.V on the wall and plenty of different lighting options, and an open wardrobe space for clothes and bags etc. There were plug sockets by the bed. There's air con, but I'd suggest asking how to use it. Breakfast was good, there was lots of variety, fresh fruits, yoghurts, cooked breakfast on a buffet, cold meats and cheeses, pastries, dried fruit and seeds, various teas & coffees. Checkout was fast and we were on our way.

United KingdomThe corridors are a bit dark and gloomy, but I think that feel is meant to be for the hotel. The hotel bar isn’t cheap, but it’s fine for a few drinks before going out somewhere.
Rooms are clean, fresh and modern with nothing broken or damaged with no sign of lots of previous use - the games and bar downstairs are great fun if you’re staying with friends and want something interesting to do that doesn’t cost you more in town. Beds are huge - ideal for couples who need a bed larger than a double!
