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 only criticism I can honestly make is that the mattress in Room 5 was not at all up to the standard we would expect. We had read the reviews before going to stay and this had been highlighted before. We had hoped it would have been addressed and a hotel standard mattress available 😞 This stay would have been 10/10 had we had a comfy bed
What a lovely friendly pub! The staff were so nice and even the customers in the bar were so friendly. Food was delicious, the room was clean and had everything we required. Really really nice stay and would love to return

JerseyDespite advance notice of one guest requiring gluten free breakfast, we were informed that neither the sausages nor beans were gluten free and no substitute was offered. As a non egg eater this limited the choice somewhat. The only thing provided that was specifically gf, was bread, which had to be toasted. The breakfast arrangements could have been made a little clearer, unsure whether jams or marmalades were provided. Límited gluten free food at dinner as the preferred dishes were sold out.
Lovely rooms, well furnished and up to date. Reasonable choice for dinner and breakfast

United KingdomThe room was ok overall but the bathroom as a little small and I found the shower cubicle a bit cramped. The toilet did not flush properly- it took 3 or more goes to flush away solid waste, I raised this with the staff but I felt my concerns were not taken seriously and we just got on with it in the end.
The food was really good and the service also. It was nice to be able to eat outside, especially given the excellent weather during our stay.

United KingdomNo dislikes as such, though I would have liked a bit more breakfast non-cooked choice as my preference is for buffet style rather than cooked. Couldn't fault the actual food though.
Idyllic location. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Lots of locals in the bar and restaurant. The restaurant was superb; very well cooked and reasonably priced (ate there both evenings). Make sure you book as it's very popular.
