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 KingdomOpted for the a room with a balcony. Really neither use nor ornament, and wasn't worth the extra cost. Mostly because we were in a room next to smokers, who obviously used the balcony to stand out and smoke on. This meant we had to keep our doors shut and couldn't sit out on it (though it was tiny, and only one chair on it). The same couple also liked to have their TV on loud, and if it wasn't for the noise of the a/c it would definitely have encroached on our peace and quiet. The same couple also brought their cigarettes up to the terrace at breakfast (really), but thankfully, perhaps due to another couple having a baby with them, they chose not to smoke. I really don't appreciate having to inhale smokers' cigarette smoke, just go out on the street! I think the whole place should be no smoking, including on the enclosed terrace. They did then go and smoke on their balcony, whilst we were still eating breakfast on the terrace and the smoke just travelled up and engulfed us! Don't bother with the balcony, unless you're a smoker.
Easy to find, about 20 minutes' walk from the train station, ideally located within the walls. Room was spotless, a boutique hotel feel. Bathroom was well stocked with toiletries. Great shower. Little safe for passports etc. in the wardrobe. Excellent wifi. Nice little touches, such as cushions and candles. Breakfast was excellent, savouries and sweet. Plenty of drink choices. Option to buy alcohol. Lovely little terrace to have breakfast. Seems to be only 5 or 6 rooms, and only 3 were occupied when I was there, so quite quiet (see below). All in all, great little place. As usual, I did a LOT of research, finally settling on this place, would definitely return. I noted that several people commented on the steep staircase, and that it was awkward with suitcases, I could see it could be. If you can forgo the numerous change of outfits just bring smaller luggage, it really makes the experience so much easier, especially traveling around cities, and Europe. The amount of tourists I saw struggling with suitcases on trains and busses and through towns, it really seemed to take away some pleasure for them, especially in quite intense heat! On the subject of luggage, we were able to leave our bags at the accommodation whilst we had a stroll around the town on our last day. This was super helpful, but it is a matter of trust, because they were just left under the stairs, in view of guests, and mostly there is no-one on reception. I usually use one of those luggage storage places and pay for the convenience and security but took the chance this time, and happy to report everything was safe.
