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 standard rooms are very small, the back rooms are overlooked by the properties behind the hotel. The staff need a lesson in customer service. My children aged 24 and 25 both were made to feel very uncomfortable. On arrival after travelling from work arriving late, my son was met by the porter ‘Why are you here? When told he was staying there demanded his room number. I helped my daughter with her bags, to be asked ‘’ Do these belong to you?’ Referring to my children both of whom are in their 20’s So said they are not these and yes they are. How rude. The following evening my son came into the hotel to get something from his room and again was asked by the a lady on the reception ‘’why are you here’ ? Not can I help you which should have been asked if they were worried. That evening they came in and again the porter demanded to know what he was doing there. When they both came back to the hotel the shut the main door on them, so they used there door cards to open it. I know if the porter was worried a he should talk to them, but a simple can I help you is more polite. They felt the hotel was very ageist. Remember they are not teenagers both being in their 20’s.
It was clean , recently decorated, the breakfast staff were lovely. I cannot understand why they finish breakfast at 9am on the weekend.

United KingdomRoom size was slightly smaller than I'm used to but it is an older traditional seaside town hotel. We were on the top floor and for a summery day in a room with no Aircon meant the room was stuffy. Due to the room being so warm we needed to sleep with the windows open which for a seaside hotel with nearby nesting seagulls we were woken early from around 0630. Finally the room partition wall and a few squeaky floor boards meant surrounding rooms were very audible. The price we paid was about right (if a little on the pricey side) when factoring in these issues. A good option for many though as long as you are prepared on these points.
Friendly staff and a clean hotel. Comfortable bed and decent water pressure in the shower. Good location and easy access to a very reasonably priced public outdoor car park. Breakfast was good quality for the price paid.

United KingdomGiven that the hotel had a large number of elderly and disabled guests, the unreliability of the single lift, culminating in complete breakdown for at least 36 hours (continuing as we left) was dreadful. We were walking the South West Coast Path so didn't relish having to climb to the fourth floor either!

United KingdomBreakfast was minuscule much prefer a buffet breakfast, coffee was disgusting, After a drive I like to lay on the bed in a somewhat natural state, but this time the maid walked straight in no knocking or anything so she got a free shot! Then she only did it again half an hour later Why do they service rooms at three o clock in the afternoon
Bedroom was very good plenty of room, shower worked well, bed was comfortable, staff were very good on the whole, room was very clean.
