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 KingdomVery minor thing- but the toilet seat was not the correct size for the actual toilet (seat was smaller than the actual toilet) Breakfast would operate alittle better if it was buffet-style so that guests can help themselves.
Great family room, friendly and welcoming staff and great location for the beach- only 10 min stroll.

United KingdomCommunal area seemed to have limited opening hours, and closed at 9pm so there was nowhere for our group to meet and socialise (bedrooms far to small!)
Single en suite room was small but clean and had small table and stool. Staff friendly and efficient and English breakfast (extra) excellent. 15 mins walk (uphill) from Convention Centre and beach.

United KingdomI would like to have seen a bed and breakfast rate rather than pre-book and pay separately for breakfast. I didn't realise that a full English option was only available at the weekend but the light breakfast was adequate for us. We had an issue with the light switch in the bathroom so it was left on but it was due to be fixed after the bank holiday.
Location- a ten minute walk to the beach. Room comfortable, bed huge! Breakfast good. Staff friendly.

United KingdomPerhaps it was the room we were in but it really needs TLC. The walls were had marks, bed was hard, pillows thin and furniture was old and felt dirty. The drawer handles were sticky and we had to clean everything with Dettol wipes. There are no closets in the room and the wee shelf on the wall had paint peeling off. The worst part was the bathroom sink that was the size of an airplane sink - very uncomfortable for family use. It is so tiny that the glass shelf above it covers half the sink which means you can’t wash your face or brush your teeth without wetting your feet and the bathroom floor. Our windows opened into the street so it’s noisy if you open them and hot if you don’t. a small table fan is provided, though. White bedroom light is depressing. There is no lift so please note if you can’t climb stairs.
The hotel is close to town center, the beach and many nice restaurants. The staff, from the receptionist to the cleaners, are all really nice and friendly. We realised upon arrival that our bathroom sink was completely blocked and it was unclogged within 10 min. Asked for the iron and clean towels which were brought promptly. There are several parking spots and the wee garden in the back is lovely. WiFi is provided and check in and check out was easy and smooth.

United StatesMore like a dorm room than the pictures had shown. Not sure how this “hotel” had a 9+ rating. Our room was more fitting for a single bed than a double. Room walls need painting… older furnishings. Stark interior.
Bathroom was new and designed and decorated well although small. Sheets were nice, bed was comfy. Free parking on sight. Clean. Window opened. Staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful.

United KingdomThe bathroom was quite small and the water pressure was very bad. The bathroom tap didn’t work very well as there was no cold water coming out, despite the sign in the room saying the bathroom tap water was cold and safe to drink.
The room was very nice and clean, very close to the beach and the town, easy walking distance. very safe as it had the key fob entry on the door.

United KingdomWe had the family room as staying with our 2 year old, none of the furniture was anchored to the wall, which is important when you have a very curious two year old who likes to open all the drawers. Luckily it didn't fall on him, but might be a good idea to attach them to the wall the future.
The room was very clean, and the hotel is a very short walk to the beach and minutes from the highstreet. And for the price is vwas amazing value
