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 KingdomThe breakfast was good and the room was nice and clean. Although there was a minor issue with the toilet that kept filling up and emptying on it's own. The one thing I would point out is the rooms are not suitable for anyone who has difficulty climbing stairs as they are on the second floor and only reached by stairs. The Staff were very friendly. There are bus stops directly outside of the Pub , which we found to be the best way of getting around the isle.

United KingdomNothing to do in the evenings, bar shut at 9pm and restaurant closed so 15minute walk into "town" and only one dingy pub there. Stayed late October but no heating in rooms so quite cold and as the towels weren't changed every day they did not dry well
Although on main road no traffic noise and bed comfortable. Good bus service from outside the hotel to access the island. Breakfast well cooked and fine for us but would probably not be enough for someone with big appetite

United KingdomThe toilet system in the room was very bad had trouble every time we needed to flush the toilet Breakfast was not that great value was only given a cup of coffee where you would normally get a pot Only one slice of toast on the side of your breakfast and one small pack of butter where I would normally expect a rack of toast and more chance of having more butter was not asked if everything was alright or did we want anything else felt a bit dumped and felt we was a nuisance. The bed was uncomfortable and I feel it needs a new mattress.
The Prince of wales rooms was very clean and noise free

United KingdomOur room was at the front on the road which was horrendously busy. The breakfast room was basic with sticky wooden table tops, no side plates for toast and the orange juice was stale. I was concerned about security as the staff appeared to be absent overnight. There was an emergency phone number to call if one had problems re-entering the property. Is this even legal on licensed premises ?
Our room was clean and quite comfortable. The cooked breakfast was good. The staff were friendly.

United KingdomI really have to be super picky to find things that weren’t adequate. Mattress was very soft (personal preference would for it to be firmer) and extractor fan in bathroom was very loud when turned on.
Staff were friendly, room was a good size, shower hot and powerful, provided a fan in the room as it was a bit stuffy without.
