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 KingdomWe arrived at the hotel about 7pm with some trepidation as there were a group of people at the door having a screaming session, the manager told us this level of noise would not continue after 10pm. We reached the room via the stairs, the lift was out of order (and the notice seemed to have been there for some time) we found only 1 mug, 1 espresso cup, 1 spoon and no glasses. My wife went to reception to ask for glasses and another mug, she was told by the manager(?) that it was one room so one mug and no glasses were provided. After some discussion she was given two pint beer glasses (for the bathroom!) and he said he would bring another mug in 20 minutes, which he did. The shower room door had been damaged by an earlier visitor, the light fitting in the shower room above the mirror was broken, the thermostatic shower never got above tepid. As to the beds one mattress was supported by a sheet of particle board(?) the other mattress the springs made it impossible so I slept on rather than under the duvet On trying to check out the reception and the dining room were closed, there was no member of staff anywhere, the front door was unlocked and open. There was a phone number at reception to contact for assistance, I tried several times but no one was there. We had a train to catch and time was running out so I contacted Booking.com but they could make no contact though did send an email which seemed to have worked. We had a phone call from the manager who told us to push the key through the gap in the shutter at reception, not an acceptable solution as a £50 deposit against damage to the bedroom was charged with no way of proving that we had not caused damage, he said the deposit would be refunded in 2 days.
The room appeared to have been recently painted but was quite 'bare'. The room and bed linen were clean, the room was hot. and the radiator thermostat worked.

United KingdomCouldn’t get to sleep due to hearing every noise throughout the hotel, plus from 1am-3am, (clocks went back at 2, so technically 4am) there was a guest and man at reception having a row about bedbugs in his room and being refused a refund. I ended up having to be on a mobility scooter, and when I rang up I spoke to a lovely gentleman who assured me that there would be staff there who would lift it up and down the outside stairs for me, however when it came to check out the man at reception was very moody with me, and asked me if I can just drive it down the steps (6 steep steps in the rain), he then suggested he just bumped it down the stairs himself and I said that would break it, in the end he ended up getting 3 other guests to help me.
Location When I phoned in advanced and explained I needed to bring a mobility scooter due to being on crutches the guy on the phone was lovely, moved us into a ground floor room, and assured me someone would help with the scooter and the stairs.

United KingdomThe main lighting in one of the rooms didn’t work, the carpet and facilities were in need of a revamp. The cups provided were dirty, the room myself and my partner stayed in was pretty cramped. I wouldn’t book for a get away but it was literally one night in where we literally needed to sleep after a night out. The parking situation was explained as having none- which is fine given the location of the hotel- but it would have been useful to be given the information of nearest car parks when I asked about the parking situation.
Served the purpose and had a bathroom

United KingdomWe were unable to sleep because the bed and mattress were uncomfortable and unacceptable for any sleep. It is our opinion that these items should be thrown out and replaced.
The decor of the room was clean and the room had been prepared and the bedding and towels were clean.

United KingdomWhen we first checked in, stood at reception for way too long before we managed to get the attention of the man at reception who was too busy with his head down watching tiktok on full volume, had to borderline shout to him before he heard me after three attempts of getting his attention, then said nothing to us while he printed out receipts for us, didn’t tell us anything about check out time etc. literally just sent us in the direction of our room and that was it… never had any service like that ever before, it was just so strange. The bed was so uncomfortable i didn’t sleep well and it just looks like during the ‘cleaning’ process after guests have stayed is that the bedding is changed and toilets are bleached (and not actually cleaned as the bleach was still in the toilet when we arrived) and that’s it. Genuinely don’t recommend this place, go literally anywhere else and save your money.

I always read reviews of hotel before booking,so reviews mainly wasn't good,so I didn't expect nothing special.We were looking just to sleep and pay as much less as we can and this hotel was good for that.If you want comfort, this hotel is not for that.The best thing about hotel is location,about 5 min walk to the beach.

It was also very noisy to the point it sound like the people outside were inside your room, the carpets and curtains were old fashioned, the hotel is decorated as a whole in an old fashioned way.
