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 KingdomBooking.com said there was a hairdryer in the room, when I enquired I was told another customer was using it. Would be better if there was more than one hairdryer for the whole of the hotel. There was no soap or shower gel etc.
The location was perfect, room clean and comfy.

United KingdomFor my room (1) the bathroom was located down the corridor, however it was huge and had a brand new suite, just awaiting proper flooring. The area around the hotel was a bit dead and we struggled to find any decent eateries or bars. If you go head for the railway station area or there’s places at the retail park.

United KingdomWalls are paper thin, someone talking on the phone at midnight woke me up as she was talking for over an hour. No Shower Gel in the bathroom so luckily I brought some with me. Wi-Fi was not strong enough to reach room 4 so had no access to the Wifi on my devices.
Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean.

United KingdomThe entire building lacks any real soundproofing and you can hear your neighbours and people entering and leaving the building. Parts of the roof were leaking due to the excessive rain we experienced on our trip
It was a short trip away from the train station and pretty much center of the town

United KingdomNo wifi, no coat hangers, no mirror in the bathroom, shower door broken, no shampoo (though wouldn’t have been a problem if this was the only issue). The blind doesn’t block out the light or even make it very dark. Not good in the summer. Also the decorating in the room was shoddy. flaking paint around the door frames and light switches gives impression of overall shoddiness.
central location. room spacious. The owner did attempt to resolve the issues in the room and was very responsive. It's a new service so am sure with such an attentive owner, these issues will be easily resolved.
