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.).

South AfricaNo blinds in our room. External landscaping and facade - very industrial. Breakfast could have more choice. Narrow and steep stairs to 2nd floor. Double bed could be exchanged for a queen size.
Clean comfortable rooms. Very friendly staff. Great value for money. Ease of access to Inverness and surrounds.

FranceMaybe the exterior (building and parking) could need clean work. At first view people could think this is not a good place to sleep, but it is really a good hotel.
Loved the "vintage" vibe of this hotel. Despite the age-looked exterior, everything was clean inside, we slept very well and the owners were very pleasant. Thank you

BelgiumThin walls. Noisy hotel. When in the room you could hear everything from the bar en noises in the corridors. Unfortunately people have become selfish and don’t consider other guests who go to bed earlier after a whole day’s drive Bar was supposes to close at 10pm but noise until midnight. Did’t get much sleep

NetherlandsThe beds were a little too soft, so a matrass that could be somewhat 'stiffer' would be better for the average guests. Further the water cooker could be replaced in our room (nr 3). Further to that all good!!
When we arrived, we thought it was abandoned, but the moment we stepped in, and Peter welcomed us we felt at home. This gentlemen deserves all gratitude and what an excellent host. It is hard not to like this man. Although all that is offered is basic, it is good in terms of quality, rooms are clean, towels are fresh, and the shower is good. It is just Peter that makes the difference! Just book and experience it yourself!! We love Peter!!
