Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomJust little things - there was only small bar soap in bathroom, no liquid hand soap, and the room got very warm especially first thing in the morning, but opening the balcony door to let in fresh air soon sorted that!
Room was spotlessly clean and very well presented. Bed and sofa were SO comfortable. Hotel restaurant was excellent - food was delicious and free bottle of house wine went down very nicely! Shower was lovely with excellent water pressure - you can't beat a good mixer shower.

United KingdomThe only complaint I have wasn’t about the accommodation as such, Unfortunately we had someone in the room above ours( suite 16), who thought it was ok to jump about continually for an hour from 7:30 am on both Saturday and Sunday, it sounded as though they were doing a dance routine or a fitness workout, we did highlight it with reception on Saturday, but to our dismay the woke us up again on Sunday, I understand that it was beyond your control, but it spoilt what was an otherwise lovely weekend,
Room was lovely and facilities were great, staff were lovely

United KingdomEverything was fantastic!
The feeling of being in a mini-village but everyone was so quiet & generally lovely. The apartment was amazing with lots of extras - like loads of dishwasher tablets & soap. It all felt quite luxurious too. We enjoyed the pool & the jacuzzi, especially the facility to go later when it was children-free.

United KingdomLifts weren’t working at the time we were there (we were on the first floor and it meant lugging cases upstairs) and the steam room in the spa was also out of order which was a shame. This was beyond the scope of the individual host as the property is part of a large holiday village complex.
Clean and comfy. Nice view with balcony. Was nice and quiet in room. Added bonus of a pool and some adults only swim sessions. Host was helpful and attentive prior to visit.

United KingdomCould hear people in appt upstairs walking around but noise pretty good other than that. Fire alarm did go off 1:30am meaning everyone had to evacuate. Luckily the rain had paused otherwise would have been a miserable 10 min wait for staff to respond.
Specification of apartment was good, a nice relaxed feel to the stay. Access to leisure facilities good, although steam room was not on. Ate once in restaurant, was quite pleasant, service quick, and food was quite nice. Was raining otherwise outside tables would have been appealing.

United KingdomWe didn't need the constant text messages throughout our stay, they were annoying. An extra toilet roll would have been nice!
The location was great and the pool facilities. We ate at the restaurant one night which was very good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, we'd definitely recommend it. Emails from Colin before our arrival were useful.
