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 KingdomThe scenery and the views were amazing, and the location was perfect as it was walking distance to the nearest town. Nice and quiet in the hotel and relaxing too! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities in the hotel room were comfortable and relaxing to use. We loved the shower room, and the bed was comfortable to sleep in. The breakfast in the mornings was great with a lot of variety. The interior of the hotel was lovely. Car park spaces were nice and wide. Overall, it made our getaway much more of a great experience and would love to come back someday.

United KingdomOur two night stay was outstanding in every single way. Pre stay communication is excellent, the welcome received upon check-in is as warm and welcoming as anybody could ask for. The grounds, reception rooms and bedrooms are immaculately kept. Breakfast is a delight. We opted for English breakfast on both morning, which were exceptional both times. The service to go with it was the cherry on the cake for us - absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Location is perfect….park the car on the private grounds and you have a very short walk in either direction dependent upon whether you fancy heading to the lake, or into the centre for a spot of shopping, food or drink (or all three). We’ll definitely be back at the diamond lodge, thank you so so much for making our stay very special!

United KingdomLovely spacious,comfortable and clean room with an excellent shower. All the accessories in the room - even the toilet paper were of very good quality. The Diamond Lodge guest house is within easy walking distance of the town centre and there is a bus stop a few yards away on either side of the road. Bus journeys around the area are £2 per person so cheaper to leave the car in the free car park. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice of cereal and hot food. The staff were very helpful in explaining about transport and recommended venues/shops in town worth visiting.

United KingdomAlthough the quality of the breakfast is good, we did find the Cumberland sausage coils disappointing and quite tasteless. No Rice Crispies were offered among the cereals. The little public lounge is very small and we weren’t tempted to use it.
Hotel is very nicely appointed and spotlessly clean. Our room was on the top floor, so something of a toil up the stairs! It also had a skylight rather than a conventional window with a proper view, which we would have preferred. The bathroom was pleasantly spacious. Breakfast was good but it is something of a draw back to have to choose options the previous evening, although presumably this is dictated by the limited numbers of staff in a relatively small hotel. The breakfast room is comfortable and attractive, with tables well spaced. The staff we met (only two) were very friendly and pleasant, Lilian in particular helping to make our stay very enjoyable. Car park is very convenient, with good sized parking bays, much better than the norm!
