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 KingdomRoom was on the side and looked directly into a residential house. Curtains but no voille or frosted glass for privacy. It was late before dark and neighbouring residents mowing lawns etc could see right into our room. So had to close curtains or fellt completely exposed. Bed and pillows really hard and walls paper thin! One night the room next door had the same channel on TV as us. I turned our sound down and you could hear word for word from next door. Thier snoring, turning light on and off, everything! No sleep! I say lovely staff and they were but no one asked how our stay was so didn't bother saying.
Location was perfect. Wonderful staff. Good WiFi. Breakfast delicious!!!

United KingdomThere was one aspect of the bathroom which needed upgrading: the bath/shower. There was an low power Amazon Rainforest Shower head mounted very high above a step in bath, and a shower curtain made of a clingy material. This meant that, if you used the shower you got wet hair and the shower curtain stuck to you.
Everything was perfect. The staff. The location. The room. The bar and restaurant. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Always wanted to stay at this hotel as we love the location. So glad that we got to stay this trip and couldn’t fault it one bit. The room was lovely and had lovely little touches. It was a gift for my 40th birthday and they left me a card and chocolates in the room. It actually ended up a double celebration as we got engaged on the beach. The breakfast was fantastic and the dinner was also brilliant, compliments to the chef. We will definitely be back very soon.

United KingdomThe bed was not comfortable and the shower was small and one had to squeeze. I am 6 foot tall and the fixed shower head was 2 inches above my head. Room was on a slant with squeaky floorboards. Other guest walking about at night created foot noises on the stairs and room above. Some doors hinges were noisy when opened/ closed.
The breakfast was good with plenty of choice. From cooked breakfast to fruits and cereals.
