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 KingdomStaff were ignorant,I wasn’t even asked my name or reservation number,my friend came to check in with me and when I asked her to come and check the room with me ,the woman( who gave me my key, I presume the owner)was very rude , she actually raised her hand and shout” stop non paying guests are not allowed in rooms,we were so shocked as to the way we was spoken to,the hotel needs a complete refurbishment,I was offered a sea view at a discounted rate, I wasn’t informed about the noise from the roadworks though,when I asked to move rooms I was told that the hotel would have to upgrade another guest so that I could change rooms and they would not refund me my money ( I was fuming)Being a vegetarian I was woken to the smell of bacon everyday,some how the smell lingered to the top floor I don’t know and that all you could smell through out the hotel was bacon Also the tv was that small and so far from the bed ;you would have to sit on the floor to watch it.NEVER AGAIN WOULD I STAY THERE!

United KingdomIt was not made clear on arrival that friends of guests were not allowed to enter at all. Don’t stay here if you plan on having friends in the room - a friend of mine came up to my room early hours of the morning to make sure I was ok and help pack my bags and I got fined for this. I appreciate the policy is in place for security reasons but I would have appreciated the guest house communicating this with me rather than charging extra to my card. Apart from this, it is a good place to stay.
It was a lovely, comfortable, clean room.

United KingdomWhilst not the fault of the owners the location was not great due to its proximity to numerous bars. Both nights of our stay we experienced rowdy drunken behaviour and anti social activity which included a big fight, drug dealing and loud arguments. The shower room and toilet where cramped and the shower wasnt great.
The staff where friendly and the guest house and room was clean.
