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 KingdomEvening Meals weren't available at the time. The Bathroom shower in the room we were in wasn't clean by the shower glass panel. The bed wasn't very comfy as it was a hard mattress and we had been walking a lot so our backs were hurting.
The Staff were amazing with their help and polite. The Hotel toilets were clean and accessible. The food in the restaurant was amazing and delicious. The drinks in the bar were exceptional.

Clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. The young girl at reception gave us a drinks voucher and sent Prosecco and a card to the room as we had mentioned it was our anniversary. Really made us enjoy the stay from the beginning.

Liked everything, location was good, it's very nicely decorated and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. The room was very spacious with good amenities. Breakfast was great with good food options and good service. I appreciated that they have a later checkout time of midday and are happy to store luggage which was helpful.

United KingdomReception staff could do with some customer service training. The girl on arrival was excellent, the other not so. Also the girl working on breakfast (the one with all the hair really needs to have it tied up and covered, especially when working in the kitchen. Nice selection of breakfast items although the scrambled egg had a powdered tasted to it like it hadn’t been mixed properly. The two chaps working in the breakfast room never stopped and were very pleasant although kept putting clean cutlery down by holding the top (eating part) of the spoon/knife/forks. Hotel was 10 mins walk from the city centre, but added to the enjoyed of walking around the city.
Nice room, good shower, good views across the city. The barman was helpful. Rooms cleaned to a good standard and housekeeping staff very pleasant.
