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 KingdomIt was like the Marie Celeste. The bar/function room had been emptied of furniture and there was no incentive to want to use it even for a drink. The list was out of order and had been for weeks (months?(.
The staff were exceptional but the hotel lacked any ambiance. The location was good for the town and the beach. It was a quiet location

United KingdomThe hotel is becoming a little elderly (hence the lift problem) and would benefit from some refreshment.
The greeting at reception was enthusiastic and caring. Noticing that I use a stick to aid walking the receptionist was most concerned that I would have problems because the lift had broken down. Translated into action, we were offered a full refund or a first floor room which we accepted. The care and concern - with many apologies - continued throughout our stay, and the impression was of real and genuine kindness.

United KingdomThis is a hotel that could do with a bit of TLC. The staff were great, but the decor, the public areas, and the rooms are all looking a bit tired, a bit scruffy and unloved. It needs some care and attention. I was surprised to discover that it is a 4* hotel.
The rooms were comfortable, and quite clean. The breakfast was limited but tasty.

United KingdomThe property had stains every single inch of the carpet, which made the room feel dirty. They didn’t even really look like they had been attempted to be cleaned, and they were literally EVERYWHERE. the bathroom and shower were extremely cramped and small, I think if you were anywhere above the average weight you would generally struggle to get inside the shower as it was a lot smaller than normal ones, I’m a petit short woman and even I was lacking of room in there. there wasn’t any decorative items like pillows or lamps in the room which made it feel less cosy than a normal hotel room, and there wasn’t a towel in my room only a hand towel and bath Matt. Never the less I still feel like for a “budget” style hotel I got what I paid for. The room was affordable so even with the above being said I could really expect more considering what I paid.
I liked the fact that it was good value for money, the staff were extremely friendly and helped me with my luggage as there was no lift in the property. The bed in my superiors room was MASSIVE which was a massive pro for me! the room which I had was spacious.
