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 KingdomThere is just a tiny car park, with no spaces available on our trip. and we didn't know whether we could park on the harbour opposite, and the member of staff who we asked didn't seem to know either. Since the new road has been built there seems to be less parking spaces in Douglas then before, and large chunks of land have been taken up for pedestrians, which to me seems totally unnecessary and a waste of good parking space.
The Sefton is ideally situated in Douglas, close to the town centre, the beach and the ferry terminal.

New ZealandThis is a hotel typical to the area. It has stairs and a slow lift. It's not a biggie but if you aren't very mobile, ask for a ground floor
Great location, bus stop outside. Comfortable large room with super large bathroom, had a bath and a shower. Good selection for breakfast

United KingdomThe interior of the hotel is looking tired in places. Surprisingly difficult to get a pint of bitter, even at times a pint of Guinness. Stuck to the wine which was a safer bet.
The staff on reception were exceptionally helpful. It did not matter who you saw, each member of the receptionist team went beyond the 'extra mile' to help out. The standard they set was incredibly high. Needless to say I have never experienced such superb service from any other hotel that I have stayed in.

United KingdomHotel car parking is somewhat restricted, not particularly easy to find and is chargeable. No immediate quiet bar area for guests, the first night we were there, there was a function on with a group which made the bar pretty much inaccessible and very noisy.
Staff extremely friendly and informative, housekeeping staff could not have been more helpful either. Room, clean and warm, beds comfortable, tea tray well stocked and very useful having the small fridge. Hotel position ideal for exploring Douglas. Pan Asian restaurant in hotel is excellent and well priced.

United KingdomWe stayed in room 315 with a see view. The windows in this room could not be opened which resulted in the temperature reaching 27 deg, C. This was uncomfortable and the staff were unable to help. This resulted in our assessment being good not excellent.
In general, with one exception ( see below) all was very good. The breakfast , location and the general ambiance of the hotel was enjoyable.

United KingdomServicing of our room was only just ok. The notice said the room would only be serviced every three days (perfectly ok), but it wasn't actually done until we asked. Om another occasion we asked for more tea, coffee and milk, but it didn't arrive. Not a major problem because the reception staff were obliging and [provided the necessary cheerfully. We paid only for the room, which was excellent. We thought the additional cost of breakfast (both cooked and continental) to be very much on the high side.
The staff in the bar and the pan-Asian restaurant attached to the hotel were all excellent (with one minor exception). Courteous, helpful, and engaging.
