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.).

Case
United KingdomOne member of staff often seems to cover reception, the bar, and serve meals, which with the best will in the world always leaves guests waiting, sometimes for some time. Housekeeping. We placed the service my room out on the door handle. The tea tray was reset, but nothing else was touched! Please cook scrambled egg so that it is soft and creamy. It doesn't take long. Mine was brown and dry. The kippers were pink in the middle and still stuck together in a pile. Simple presentation really does make food look appetising and palatable. There is not a lot of choice on the dinner menu especially if a guest is restricted on what they are able to eat. (Not allergies) All the other food was really nice.
The Location was lovely and peaceful,with wonderful views. We enjoyed sitting in the well kept gardens. The hotel has friendly staff, and we had a nice sized room. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. And to visit the nearby Toby Buckland Garden Festival at Powderham Castle. Which was wonderful. Unfortunately, our car broke down on the second day and had to go home to our garage with the RAC. A gentleman on the reception. (I think his name was Paco) was really helpful . We were able to hire a car from Enterprise near Exeter. We enjoyed mostly really great breakfasts and dinners. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive.

United KingdomThe driveway to hotel was full of potholes! Despite room being quiet it was far too warm for me & my dog. Only small window to open & fan too noisy to sleep with it on. No menu to preview online , was shown very limited typed up menu at reception which was over priced with not much choice so ended up driving to Macdonalds only few miles away!
Stunning location with beautiful views. Peace & quiet for a relaxing night.

United KingdomThat we were unable to stay for longer.
The staff were really friendly and welcomed us (in fact maybe more welcomed our little dog). The facilities were good and the hotel clean. I enjoyed the piano being played in the evening. We found Karen and Maddie to be particularly friendly, it was lovely that there was time enough and the interest for a friendly chat. They were very generous with our dog.

United KingdomThe room we were in was over the outside bar seating so was a little noisy at times.
The setting was fantastic, I like the old school feeling, the hotel knows what it is and does not pretend to be something it’s not. It’s warm , friendly, clean, food is ok ,the bar does its job the staff are great, what more do you want?
