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 KingdomThere was nothing not to like!
Superb location, very welcoming hosts, both of our booked rooms were lovely. Exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. Careful placement of plug sockets near mirrors made me very happy as did the lighting! Beds very comfortable and rooms were quiet. The buffet restaurant food was outstanding, exceptionally well managed and everything was delicious. We have stayed a few times now and this would always be my first choice when staying in Blackpool. Thank you so much to all at The Gurkha!!

Room was clean. Bed was really comfy. All of the staff were really helpful. Some quirky antiques to look at. Easy to find and close to beach / town centre. Breakfast was lovely... 10/10

United KingdomThe floor of the room seemed a bit uneven although I guess it's an old building. Not much to criticise. Good for the price.
The hotel is located a little south of the city centre but it was a bracing walk along the promenade to get to there, or the tram service was always a good option. The hotel is opposite the ambulance hub but this didn't pose any problems. No sirens in the middle of the night. The facilities were good and the breakfast was excellent. All staff very friendly.

United KingdomDidn't realise we couldn't get breakfast on the Monday morning and the bar didn't open at all later. We had a double bed but the duvet wasn't big enough too short on length and short on width
Parking was fine. The buffet was brilliant. Nice bar drinks reasonably priced. Room was fine.

United KingdomDespite the hotel being open, when I arrived, it appeared to be closed !
Dilip was very welcoming. He carried my luggage, when he showed me to my room. The room was beautiful and the hotel was in an excellent location for visiting The Waterloo Music Bar, which was only 1 or 2 minutes walk away. The hotel was in a very old and charming building which had wooden beams. The bedroom was ensuite and very clean. All ensuite facilities worked well. The bed was comfortable and there was a hospitality-tray. There was a free-standing heater, in the room. There were plenty of windows and the room was nice and bright. There was plenty of furniture, in the room. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. There were plenty of bus-stops, close to the property !
