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 KingdomParking not guaranteed even though it was £12 a day, could not find parking on 2nd day, so had to park on the sea front ( this was actually cheaper) but did get a refund because of this. Could do with a lick of paint but not awful.
Staff friendly and helpful, food good, prices not bad for a hotel, well stocked bars. Room fine for my needs.

United KingdomI knowingly booked a small budget room including breakfast at a very reasonable price, room was very small though. I have stayed at this hotel before so I know it has a little faded grandeur but it is clean and works. Duvet on bed was a bit thin so I was cold in night.
Hotel has a great location on edge of town center. The full English breakfast is good value.

United KingdomCar parking charge £12pn when room booked via Booking.com (free if booked direct) 3 nights = £36. But later discovered we could have parked more easily in the metered bays on the street out front, 3 nights = £20. Hotel is some distance from the nearest zigzag to the beach. Sometimes a long queue at reception. Stair carpets need worn edges capping or someone's going to have an accident. light bulbs not all working. Would be nice if asked about food intolerances & allergies when ordering breakfast.
Location. Away from noisy centre and facing the sea. Staff were excellent; friendly, proactive and made us feel listened to. Room was refreshed every day. Plentiful breakfast (costs extra) with multitude of food choices and good coffee. Plenty of lounging areas. Issue with first room 11pm first day, but allocated an upgrade immediately. Very pleasant indoor pool and poolside shower. Extra towels provided for pool use. Didn't use the sauna.
