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 KingdomWe had a fabulous stay many years ago and were disappointed as the hotel now looks tired and in need of care. Breakfast was crowded with many coach parties and we would have not have chosen this hotel had we been aware of this.
The view and surroundings were beautiful. The staff were welcoming and helpful.

United KingdomLovely hotel with great facilities and the room was comfortable (terrible view of crates of laundry though). Only stayed 1 night, any longer I'd have asked for a different room. We were near to the pool and there was a droning / fan sound from nearby, all night, and doors banging as we were right next to the door to the corridor. Got very little sleep due to all the disturbances.

United KingdomThe hallways could do with a decor update, there was dried up phlegm behind curtain, lots of dust on top of wardrobe. Had to pay £24 for parking "because we booked through Booking.com". Our car was completely blocked in when we tried to leave. Had to come back 5 hours later. Sauna turned off while we were inside (lights included). Some hallway carpets rotting.
The view was stunning, the room was modern and well-equipped. Breakfast was nice. The general vibe of the hotel was traditional seaside hotel. Had a "The Shining" feel which I personally loved.

United KingdomThe room decor was basic and a bit dark. The bed mattress had a dip in the middle and was very soft. However the room was spacious and very clean with a great view so we were very happy with it overall
The View from our balcony was exceptional! ( room name Zara) We paid a bit extra for it and the view was worth it. The room decor was basic but it was very clean and we had a good night sleep as there was no noise. Bathroom was clean and a good size. Aircon unit worked really well. Overall very pleased ( we didn't use the hotel facilities but they looked ok)
