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 KingdomVery old and worn. Nothing going on e.g bar and food. No lift if needed (fire doors on stairs could cause restrictive access with wheeled suitcases). Had to ask for a second towel and no body wash or soap
Great location and amazing view from large room windows. Nice firm bed. Hotel had character. Ideal if you are looking for a no frills stay.

United KingdomI didn’t like how there wasn’t a mini fridge provided or a water dispenser at the hotel. To sum up, make sure you bring your toiletries yourself as they give you a sachet of body wash and shampoo to wash your hands which doesn’t have the best scent. So bring stuff like shampoo, hand wash, toothpaste and etc yourself. Apart from that, there isn’t much to complain about.
The hotel was good for a 2 star hotel. The beds were comfy and clean. The toilets were fine too. Everything is old fashioned.

United KingdomThe man on the reception desk forgot to tell me that guests need to ask there for towels. So, the next morning I was looking for one and there wasn't a phone to the desk nor did anyone pick up the phone when I called. Wifi is limited to specific public areas in the hotel too, which wasn't entirely clear from the advert.
It's got a nice interior and there are quite a few shops nearby. I would stay there again if I was going that way (if there wasn't a better one available).

United KingdomThe patio doors in our room would not open, they were a milky white blown glass.We were not allowed to open them as the balcony was considered dangerous.The tiny window above opened about an inch.The beautiful garden we looked out over was out of bounds.There were homeless people living there too, which did not bother me but it did my partner.The TV remote had to be obtained from reception available with a £10 deposit. Upon reading this note in our room my partner decided that was the final straw & we left,without staying the night.£ 85 wasted!!
The staff were totally helpful & went out of their way to help.

United KingdomWhere do I start. When we arrived the front door was locked and had to ring a doorbell to eventually find someone to let us in and was told our booking hadnt gone through yet even though i had all the confirmation numbers etc The place overall Is very run down and as much as there was staff cleaning you can tell they can't get ontop of it. We arrived to our room and there was a overall smell of dust, damp and other questionable smells...we lacked a TV remoted for the TV that was screwed into the table, stains on the walls, toilet seat was broken, the toilet paper wasn't replenished and ran out after a couple of uses and we couldn't get hot water out of the shower but was able to get it through the bath ( even they was connected?) For the price of 40 quid for the night we didn't want to complain as it was a last minute booking and honestly a 10am check out is abit too early for our liking but we was desperate to leave as i sprayed the floors with deodrant to help mask the smell ( carpets are in desperate need of a deep clean). Which is a massive shame as the location was perfect but it seems like the staff have stopped caring about the state of the place as the night reception was fast asleep as we checked out.
The only thing that was likeable that we had a quick booking and we was free to come and go whenever we wanted ( even during the evening)
