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 KingdomWe had a bath within the room plus a wash hand basin. The shower was in the bath with no curtain so extremely difficult to use with spraying water everywhere. The toilet was separate but behind a really in adequate sliding door. Not offering any real privacy. The room was large but no wardrobe just hangers on wall and two large chest of drawers/cupboards which had been painted and then distressed - not my particular taste - but the drawers and doors were really difficult to open. All design and no practical use. Also plug socket for hairdryer nowhere near the mirror so not easy to dry your hair.
The food is very good with lovely outdoor seating area. The staff were very good and helpful. Our room was large and airy with a cooling fan - as the weather was very hot - and a large comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast although cooked breakfast had an extra charge which we thought was a bit cheeky.

United KingdomWas slightly disappointed by the food options for dinner was expecting more considering location and local produce etc. Felt it was slightly overpriced for the stay considering it was only a continental breakfast included.
Location was perfect and had a lovely room especially the bathtub in the room.

United KingdomExcellent. We booked almost all the rooms for a weekend with the girls and the hotel was perfect. Had two great meals (one in the private room which is lovely) and the other in the main bar enjoying pizza. The hotel even catered for our GF needs. Breakfast excellent too.

United KingdomThere was mothing we disliked.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The location was beautiful, it was a shame we didn't have more time to explore the area further but hopefully we will be back again. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were good. The plug on the basin needs the chain attached again as it made it almost impossible to remove it!
