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 breakfast service was the worst I have ever experienced. It was absolutely chaotic. I know it is difficult for hotels as the vast majority of people turn up within the last hour of service but the layout of the food area was awful and they didn't have enough staff. We got a table straight away (it was cleared for us) but we weren't given cutlery/napkins etc. The cooked breakfast was served by staff and so there was a queue. This queue meant it was a nightmare to get to the cereals, drinks etc. because there were people standing in the way. The bowls and plates and juice hadn't been filled up so I spent a lot of time sat not eating because I couldn't get to the food and there wasn't anything to eat it from if I did. We are vegetarian and at other hotels have ordered veggie sausages from the person seating us so they are brought to the table ready for us to go add the other cooked items. My husband tried to do that and was told to order them at the counter so he had to queue order them and then wait for them to be cooked. While my husband queued I sat for ages and asked a member of staff for cutlery I then saw some bowls being brought out and so left the table. When my husband got back someone had taken our cutlery! The staff were helpful but they were run ragged. There seemed to be enough seats but the food service area was totally inadequate. Holiday Inn need to look at how Premier Inn run their breakfast as it is always good. One of the lifts was out of order and they were tiny.
The room was quite spacious and I loved the walk in shower. The location was good.

United KingdomMy booking was confirmed as executive on reservations and then changed to ordinary standard on checking in which I didn’t understand why that happened… they said it was a problem with booking. Com
The breakfast was very good only that it took a little bit longer to be placed and to get my egg and mushrooms. But it provide the best breakfast. It is one of the strengths for this hotel

United KingdomWhere the trays were situated, as it seems like it has been designed so that you enter the buffet area from the outside rather than the reception area. But not too sure how the layout can be changed due to the limited space.
The breakfast was ok, I did find the omelette a bit watery, but that is my opinion. It had a self serving pancake machine which, although it wasn’t that straightforward as the instructions wasn’t immediately noticeable, was good.

United KingdomNo staff on reception when we arrived at 15.00 hrs waited 15 minutes to be seen... Not keen to take cash? Paid in full in cash but wanted extra as a guarantee !? One lift not working Beds were uncomforable raised in the middle felt like you were going to fall out. Shower screen/door needs to be larger feel like you have to squeeze into corner of the shower so that the rest of bathroom area doesnt get wet If mobility not good area is a bit hilly so would need a cab.. Lobby area/seating area could be bigger
Breakfast was nice plenty of choice Restaurant area was clean , modern and spacious Rooms were a good size modern and clean Staff were pleasant Location was good if you dont have mobility issues, but cabs readily available.. Button on desk to call a cab

United KingdomThere was no warning in the hotel information about having to pay an additional £15 per night for the parking at the hotel. Whilst we appreciated this was a near town centre location, we were surprised to be asked for this when we checked in. The man on the desk was kind enough to book us in for parking and not charge us any money. As we are in our 60's and visiting for a short break (and not for work purposes), we felt this was fair.
Room was clean and had everything we needed. The location and interior of the hotel was quiet. Very good breakfast was provided. Location was easy to find when travelling by car.
