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 KingdomMy only gripe was the bedroom curtains were too short width wise, so left a gap for light to come through. A bit of nifty work with a towel sorted that out however.
Ideally located close to beach and town, yet not disturbed by passing traffic or people. We were amazed at just how spacious the apartment was. There were only two of us, but I can see how well it would have worked for a young family too. Beautifully decorated and with every facility you could need. Towel and toiletries provision was excellent and the kitchen contained simple items such as washing up liquid which saves you taking stuff along.

United KingdomOur only issue was the other occupants who kept going out for a cigarette & leaving the main door open. As we were at the front of the property & there is a gap under our door, we were constantly getting the smell of cigarettes in our room which wasn't very pleasant.
Lovely property. Great location. Nice decor & clean with everything you need for your stay.

Been here half a dozen times over the last few years, and will continue to go back. This place is perfect for me, it’s right by the town centre and the beach and easy to park on the wide road out front. Lovely rooms, and the staff are friendly and really helpful.

United KingdomWas a little worried using the hairdryer as it was going red inside & hot whilst using. When guests were going up the stairs it made the table with glasses & bottles on rattle.
Comfortable, clean & tidy room. Shower was amazing. Bed comfy & slept well. 2 minute walk to the beach.

United StatesNothing was wrong with the property. Only negative is restaurants in town close early but that’s not the properties fault.
Property was great. Perfect location, large updated room. Two bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths. Beautiful porch and yard. I can’t say enough on how great this property was. If it wasn’t the best property we have stayed it would be in the top two.

United KingdomThe biggest fault was that neither me or my mum could get the main shower working and had to use the handheld shower when having a wash. A minor complaint, but we were looking forward to using the waterfall shower again.
The room was lovely, clean, spacious and in a great location. The two bathrooms were good, and the downstairs area with the kitchen, conservatory room and the private garden were lovely. The tea, coffee and sugar jars were nice and the water bottles and the mini oreo packets were a nice touch.

United KingdomWe noticed this time that we could hear noise from passing street vehicles, which we didn’t experience on our previous stay.
Great location, clean comfortable room. Have stayed here previously that’s why we returned to the same accommodation, we even had the same room( unknowingly until we arrived).

United KingdomThe only small complaint would be that the heat of the room at times was unbearable...even with the radiators off the thermostat showed anything between 22 and 25. This meant that the window had to remain open at night ....traffic was noisy and the seagulls begin their wake up call at 5.30am every day. We appreciate this is out of anyone's control so would suggest early nights.
The location to the beach and shops was perfect. No 16 is a very warm, cosy, well insulated and extremely clean house. The housekeeping ladies do an amazing job...they were very friendly and always left a good variety of teas and coffees, (glass) bottled water and chocolate snacks. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Space for one car on the drive but plenty of on road parking. One word of advice...don't lock the bathroom door in room 6. I was locked in for half an hour before managing to unlock it 😮
