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 KingdomThe room was way too hot! It took over an hour for the radiator to cool down and I had to have the window open as wide as possible all night. Slightly cavalier staff member showed me round - mentioned in passing that I couldn't leave the bathroom door open whilst having a shower or the fire alarm would go off which was a worry. My wifi never connected so had to do a work call on my phone.
Room was large, clean and had a comfortable bed. Pantry was great. Helpful staff member behind the bar that put my single food order through whilst there was a big queue for dinner, as I was staying upstairs which I appreciated.

United KingdomStairs steep and narrow, may not suit those with mobility issues.
Bed was very comfortable. Large and in a spacious room. Warm Staff were all helpful, especially with finding parking. Solly particularly helpful and friendly. We ate in pub and the food was excellent. Loved the quirkiness of having a theatre in a pub. Didn’t experience any noise in room from either pub or theatre.

IsraelUnfortunately the price (100£ a night) is too high for what it was, although the room was extremely cozy and we had a wonderful stay. Maybe it’s because we were staying during the Jubilee weekend.
Breakfast was very basic : muesli, cornflakes, milk or other vegetable milks. I think that’s it. And you eat this in your room, since there is no sitting area, the food is on a shelf in the corridor. I would not say it was a proper “breakfast included”. Teas and coffee already in the room with a kettle.

United KingdomThere was a strange smell in the room upon arrival, I had to air the room for a couple of hours. The blinds were really tricky to open and shut, definitely need to be replaced. The noise from the theatre/ pub is minimal but the walls in between rooms are very thin. The breakfast station is nice but a few tweaks could make it a lot better. I had planned to eat dinner at the pub on Tuesday eve but was notified the kitchen was closed due to staff availability which was a shame.
The room was lovely, clean and warm! A very comfy king sized bed and the bathroom has a great shower. Great location, easy to walk into the centre or you can jump on a bus that stops nearby. The staff at the Alma were lovely and helpful. Breakfast/ coffee station is simple but a nice touch. Would happily recommend the Alma to friends.

United KingdomCome on Hopewell, over £100 a night and you cant fix the broken blinds (which would cost @ £40), I cut my finger on the sharp wood, and light streamed through early in the morning. Also the bedside lights did not work. Both these issues have been raised in previous reviews so why are you not mending these things. Only one spotlight in the shower room so showering in the dark. Boiling hot stuffy room need a portable fan. These rooms could be good but just not being maintained.....buck your ideas up Hopewell......
