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 KingdomI had been extremely unwell (signed off, medication etc.) and called the hotel directly to ask if it was possible to move dates, understanding I couldn't get a refund. The member of staff stated it wasn't possible over the phone, but to contact them through booking to organise. I sent a message through booking immediately after and it was never responded to, so the date passed and the hotel was not used. Disappointing as we didn't know where we stood for several days, and I'd rather just be told on the phone that it was not possible than to ignore my request.
Note - this is speaking only of the experience with this particular booking. We have stayed since so know what the hotel is like. For this booking, it was non refundable.

United KingdomRoom 39!! It was cold heater wasn't working/ on. Bathroom floors are cold. Room 39 isn't worthy for payment so much noise from kitchen and whatever is upstairs or the dragging of chairs dropping of stuff etc . I can normally take a lot of noise but I had ask to be moved. To the credit of the receptionist he moved me to another room without any issues. Think this room should be scrapped. The second room was heated and a lot quieter room 43.
The breakfast was excellent 👌 The chef really takes pride in her cooking. Super clean cooked well and isn't piled up. Most importantly is not cold. The second room 43 was heated. Parking is easy. The bar is reasonably priced, clean and comfortable.

United KingdomThe hallway and stairs to the rooms were very dirty. A used earbud and a used tissue was on the stairs in the evening and was still there when we checked out at 9 30. I felt the carpets in the hallway and staircase was in desperate need of a good hoover and steam clean. Our room had a shower gel container in the shower which was empty so why have it there? The tissue box in the bathroom had 3 tissues in then it was empty. I felt that I paid £20 for my dog to stay with us, when on the first email I received when I put her as a special request, was emailed that there was no extra charge for my special request, to then receive an email there day after that the would be a £20 charge which I didn't have a problem paying, please to have shower gel and tissues I would think we would deserve. Also to have clean carpets on our entrance to the room area would be nice. Abit of a bad first impression but was happy the room was clean at least.
