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 KingdomHaving accessible plugs on both sides of the very comfy bed rather than one side! The only other niggle was that it was clearly so popular, that you had to book a table :-D
Staff were particularly nice, both helpful and friendly. Food was abundant and nicely produced. Very conveniently located. Very clean. Stunning tubs and baskets of flowers. Everything felt cared for.

United KingdomIt was a little noisy at night, but then again it was a pub! On Booking.com the description says that it's a mile from Colchester centre. The day before our stay we checked out the place and realised it was 10 miles from Colchester which was very inconvenient. We looked for somewhere else, but at that late stage there was nothing in our price range. In the end we took our bikes and had a really arduous cycle at the end of a long days work. Booking.com please change the mileage to reflect the true distance so that others don't make the same mistake.
The breakfast was really good! The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much of a problem. Rooms were clean and well equipped.

United KingdomThe only tiny nit-pick is that I can't sleep if there is even a hint of light and the curtains, whilst thick, allowed the light in. But honestly, that is more my own fault for forgetting a mask, as I know I am an outlier.
Everything about the stay was good. It was a one night stopover, but the room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the bathroom big. I had a meal in the evening, which was exceptionally well-battered fish, plus breakfast in the morning with excellent sausage and bacon and absolutely spot-on poached eggs. The staff were friendly and attentive without seeming cloying. They seemed genuinely pleased at providing a good experience. Plenty of space for parking and very close to Colchester town centre.
