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 very clean but looked a little tired, one curtain was hanging off and the bathroom mirror was old.
Breakfast wasn't available but prior to arriving at the hotel I rang and was told I could order breakfast. A few cross wires. I personally think breakfast would be very welcome

United KingdomNo bulb in x 2 lights, no milk for coffee, no bin in bathroom and only one packet of biscuits for 3 adults. Previous damp patch not painted and curtain pole part of missing. Was challenged about the price of the room on checkin which was a bit strange.
Room was clean and comfortable, big bathroom, decent bar with food downstairs, good location a one minute walk from the beach.

United KingdomThe checking in process was not as smooth as I would have liked. I had 2 toddlers and we had to wait in a busy bar until the staff had served drinks to all the customers before she would book me in. There were no cups or glasses in the rooms, which there should have been. If I'd been on my own I would have gone down to the bar and asked for some, but again with 2 toddlers it wasn't an easy task.
Location was brilliant, The sea view was fantastic. The family room was large enough, the bathroom was clean.

United KingdomVery noisy road outside. No pillows then I found one in the cupboard and asked for a pillow case it never came . Floors were dirty. Only one small towel. There was sick on one of the chairs. I tried to get out in the morning and they had put down metal shutters with no instructions of how to get out . A real fire hazard! Patio door in my room leading to the main road would not lock. Absolutely terrible for a woman travelling on her own . I didn’t feel safe .

United KingdomThere is no reception. Given a key card at the bar and told to go upstairs. Had to walk through a warren of stairs and corridors to find room. Huge gaping crack in ceiling and down the wall of bathroom- was worried the roof was going to come in. Curtains falling off and so thin they kept out no light so broad daylight in room from 5am. Awful mattress. Came back at night to find shutters down over the door and no lights on. Banged the shutters and no one answered. Phoned the hotel to get someone to let us in. It’s a weird set up. Loads of nice places along the front - this isn’t one of them.
