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.).

PolandThey've taken a £100 safety deposit on the arrival, which was unexpected. The paint was coming off the walls and windows, carpet was dirty, bathtub was scratched so it looked dirty. The fan in the bathroom didn't work properly.
Lovely breakfast, nice location, comfortable bed.

United KingdomWalls in our room were dirty with flaky plaster and paint falling off, room was on the small side and very hot during the night, did not sleep well, yet the radiator was not on and it was not warm outside. Two seagulls were nesting on the roof outside our window. Doors at the top of stairs were dirty needed a good clean.The new Adham bar was not a patch on the previous bar, mostly empty with no atmosphere, very disappointed and would think twice about booking again
Been there a few times lovely area, nice staff

United Kingdomhopefully the renovation work will mean better sound-proofing between rooms. I had the unfortunate experience of hearing both sides of a telephone conversation from my room.
We were upgraded to suites due to some renovation work taking place in some other rooms. This did not disturb our stay as they stopped at 5pm. Staff were very accommodating to our needs and found space for our bikes.

United KingdomAlthough it is decorated nicely, it feels a little bit like it was a rush job? Cracks in the wall painted over etc and our bathroom was a little dated. It worked perfectly fine though and we had a great stay.

United KingdomThe sink was blocked in the bathroom so we had to use the bath tap for water to wash our face and brush our teeth. In the morning, the light would shine through the edge of the blinds at the windows which is only an issue if you are a light sleeper and wake up easily to the light.
I enjoyed the location of the hotel as it is situated by the Pier and my room had a stunning view of the park. It was a very comfortable sleep and the Family room was incredibly spacious.

United KingdomHave stayed here twice before and had no complaints. Only thing that let us down this time was how uncomfortable the bed was, we could literally feel the springs in the mattress.
Great hotel in perfect location. Shame the bar wasn't fully finished and open but sure it will be next time. Lady on check in was so friendly and welcoming, then again thisndame the following morning when served our breakfast. Room was clean and overlooked the park. Breakfast was superb, freshly cooked and extra toast given no problem. Car parking is secure overnight and free, as long as you put in reg at check in.
