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 KingdomPool is far too deep for children to enjoy. I am 5ft 10 and could only stand up in a small section of pool. Pool and changing rooms very dated and a bit rough, needs updating. Some staff quite rude and not very helpful. Paying nearly £4 for a coffee which the woman didnt have a clue how to make. Windows in bedroom were single pane glass and looked decades old, freezing at night we had to ask for extra duvets as cold was coming through windows! Despite asking a few times for things to be done ie room properly cleaned as we stayed for 8 days it wasnt.
Steve on reception super helpful, good location for what we needed. Lovely breakfast selection. Room comfortable enough although missing a fridge

United KingdomThe disabled lift was out of order and the mobility scooters had to be re directed to a ramp to the side of the property which was under water and muddy. Bringing mud then into the hotel on the wheels of the mobility scooters. The lift has been out of order for a long time due to costs we were told which I believe is a breach in the disability act.
Close to the main motorway in pleasant surroundings . Plenty of parking spaces and assisted equipment in room booked

United KingdomWe visit my wife's sister in a care home once every 2 months and stay for 3 nights. On 2 separate occasions last year checkout at the front desk staff promised to email me a copy of the bill but never did. I emailed, phoned but the issue was never resolved.
Meals were OK. Accepting our well behaved dog is appreciated. Providing a room close by the lift was helpful for my wife.

FranceHeating was slightly overpowering but easily fixed by opening windows. Room was a bit dated but clean, large and functional. Dinner was a bit odd with super spicy chicken nuggets and pasta but probably down to our choices.
Large family room. Very good breakfast. Room service. Interesting large hotel that had private parties and functions taking place, the wing we stayed in appears to be used for jury service, but was really quiet and private (good with little kids). Health area with swimming pool.

United KingdomFront desk staff not welcoming. Small view of the lake as it was surrounded by trees, bad advertismentThere was no hot showers in the room water was lukewarm. One pool shower was hot after regulars told me the trick. Regular guests also shared that hot water has been an issue for the hotel for the last 3 months. Order 2 omelettes one was burnt. Four vegetarian sausage all were burnt. This was a 4 Star hotel based on facilities.
The room was warm and so cosy. It was also clean, free slipper, plenty of towels. The sauna, pool and jacuzzi were lovely. The pool changing rooms were cleaned every 2 hours. Cleanliness was 10/10 for the hotel and pool area. Alica the night staff was friendly. Also Amanda who did the breakfast service made sure we got the correct order, she was lovely and friendly.
