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 KingdomNothing, very happy with stay.
Friendly staff, cosy room, comfortable bed. Ideal location for the beach and shops. Being able to use the car park before checking in time was brilliant. Reasonably priced.

GermanyI have been staying in a (the?) single bed apartment which has been perfectly nice, but be aware you might have to step out of your room and cross the hallway to get to your (private) bathroom.
The hotel is situated in a quiet part of town, with the beach being only a few minutes away. Staff is very helpful and check-in and check-out easy and quick. I was thankful to be able to leave my bag with them for a few hours after check-out to stroll about the city once more.

United KingdomThe walls are quite thin, and I can't rate down the hotel for having nuisance neighbours, but the first night we could hear the person next door snoring quite loudly, the 2nd night, the couple next door had some 'fun' and it was very audible, meaning we could hear everything in our room. Having to put a podcast on just to drown out the noise from our neighbours. From the sound, I assumed the beds were close by, so maybe change the rooms around, so the beds aren't either side of the wall.
The room was beautifully decorated, the bathroom was lovely, and the shower was great! The bed was extremely comfortable, and a good size. We loved the hotel, and was perfect location to explore Bournemouth. Once we finally fell asleep, after having to drown out the noise from our neighbours, we slept very well and comfortably! Loved coming back in the evening and the room was cleaned beautifully and thoughtfully.

SpainThe bathroom of the room that I booked was external (it was private, though), and it is quite unconfortable, also risking you leave your keys in the bedroom and can look yourself out. It doesn't say it in the room description. That won't be a problem during the reception openning times, but becomes a problem when nobody is in the reception (I say this because it happened early in the morning to other of the guests during my stay)
Located in a very quiet area, close to town centre and seafront.

United KingdomI stayed in a single room where the private bathroom is across the landing. If I was to stay again I would choose a double room with an integral bathroom.
The hotel is decorated to a high standard with a lovely garden, restaurant and common area. The staff are friendly and professional. The breakfast was a good price and enjoyable. The hotel is in a good location for both the beach and the centre of Bournemouth.
