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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomAnother guest was given the key to our room and woke us up in late evening. A mistake, it happens. I didn't anticipate the room we had would be a motel-style arrangement.
Very pleasant and accommodating staff. Easy parking.

AustraliaThe only thing I could suggest would be to put mattress topper to make bed a little softer, but was still comfortable enough.
Friendly staff, huge room. Heater was on so room was warm and toasty. Food was one of the best dinners we've had while travelling around.

United KingdomThe stairs! To be fair, we were aware of the nature of the hotel, but it was disappointing to find ourselves on the top floor after we had requested the ground floor when booking. Also a bedside table on both sides of the bed would have been useful.
Bright, clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast.

United KingdomWe dined in a room that was put to one side for people with dogs which was fine whilst eating. However, we like to have a few drinks after a wee walk and felt that we couldn’t do so here. Not a massive game changer as we had a drink in the room.
Food was very nice. Room was great for us with having dogs as we could go in and out without disturbing anyone and there was a park down the road.

GermanyPorridge...that was just "slime" There was a curtain in one of the rooms booked as a cover in front of the beds. That was a bit disgusting as the curtain was just old. The chairs and sofa were old and you felt that approx. 1000 people sat in them.
The hotel is run by an elderly couple of about 80 years...lovely hosts. The staff in the hotel generally speaking was very nice. We arrived late and didn´t get a seat for dinner. Our host though provided us a list of nearby places to eat/take out food. Big parking lot right in front of the rooms.

United KingdomI felt the dining room was a bit tight for space so we ate out. I didn’t have a sense of a hotel with a separate lounge and separate dining room. The bar, lounge and dining room were one.
The rooms behind the car park were very good and comfortable.
