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.).

South AfricaNothing at all.
The hotel is located within walking distance of all the major sights of the city. It is also within walking distance of the bus, which was great, as I was in the city to attend a conference at the University of Lancaster. The staff were super and assisted in every question we had and sorted out every challenge we experienced. My fiancé also says that she loved the hotels old fashioned lift.

United KingdomMy room was a little sad. A hole in the ceiling where a light fitting should have been. No bulb in the bedside lamp. The cleaning was not up to expectations. Wasn’t informed that you had to put a notice on the door handle for cleaning the room. Had to get the notice from reception. Had to ask for a heater as there was no heating in the room.(The radiator was never turned on)
Loved the dining room. Breakfast was wonderful. The evening meals were so very good The staff were absolutely amazing. They really can’t do enough for you. I would stay here again.

The hotel was in a central location, the staff were lovely and the room was really nice. The food and service was very good and breakfast was exceptional. I recommend this hotel and will return to it in the near future.

United KingdomI need to park my car at a public car park. It was unexpected. I didn't take breakfast at hotel due to the cost (extra £14.95 per person). If I know there is no parking area, I think we will not book them.
Location is very good. The room is very clean and comfortable.

lovely restaurant, friendly and helpful staff - specifically Chelsea on the front desk. We have a lot of people who travel with work and this location hadn't been used before - I have now recommended that we use The Royal Kings Arms as a preferred choice
