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 smell at the entrance wasn’t the best (outside) and the shower was poor. Only kept pressure at hottest temperature so not fit for any of us, kids or adults.
Breakfast was the best part - were able to seat 2 families together and food was plentiful and hot.

United KingdomLarge Party of Spanish School children were staying in the hotel. They were very noisy, banging doors, shouting and running up the corridor and making a noise until very late. Teachers were making no effort to control the children.
Breakfast was good, except for the very weak juice which was practically water and lacked flavour. The bed was exceptionally comfortable

United KingdomLethal shower tray, no where to hold on to when trying to leave the shower. The risk of falling is too high, especially for older people. No easy-to-locate instructions on how to use the heating, the LCD display cannot be read as the area is too dark and the display is too low. Nothing to tell you that if you do not hang the notice off the door, your room will not be tidied or the bed made if you are staying another night
good bed, excellent TV, friendly restaurant staff.

United KingdomThere was a real stench of damp, smoke and dog along the whole of the ground floor corridor to our room. The room also smelt pretty badly. We had the window open for the majority of the night to help with the smell, until drunk people started arguing outside in the early hours which spooked our dog. The shower was pretty dire to be honest.
Pet-friendly and the staff were nice. Location was useful for onward travel. The bed was comfortable although the hotel was so noisy we didn't really sleep that much.

GermanyDifficult to find - at least for me in the dark; took three turns around the site to actually find it. Inside the room, smelled for mould. Would not stay there for more than one night. Shower not working properly, i.e. you could not mix the very hot water with cold one. We filled the bath tub, let it cool down, and then used it to wash ourselves.
Roadside hotel at acceptable price.

United KingdomBed very badly made - I had to remake it before getting in. Pillows old and lumpy. Bathroom floor had not been swept and was dirty. Soap container in the shower had not been refilled. I was initially charged the incorrect amount when checking in and had to ask for a refund., though reception staff were very helpful with this. No drinking glass in the room. Laundry room situated between the two wings, right underneath most of the bedrooms, and operated from early until late, so very noisy resulting in bedroom window needing to be kept closed. Surely this should be located further away from the guest rooms?
Convenient for where I needed to be. Bed mattress very comfortable. Duvet good. Aircon in room worked well and was easy to adjust.
