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 KingdomLow pressure in shower, I'm sure to make sure it didn't push out the shower curtain and spray on the floor since there was plenty of pressure in the sink taps. Shower head holder was broken so couldn't position it where I would have liked. Should have reported it but didn't so will remain broken till someone does.
Location very central, parking opposite. Comfortable bed, perfectly clean room. Quiet at night.

United KingdomExtra blankets, I was a bit cold at night. It was also noisy because there's a pub downstairs but mind that we were staying on a weekend.
The staff were wonderful and welcoming, the location is perfect. Easy to get in and out, you don't have to go through the pub entrance every time. A pleasant view. They had instant coffee and other bits which is always a very nice surprise and boost in the morning.

Good location - value for money Really happy with the staff. I left my jacket at the hotel when I'd left. didn't realise until the following day. First thing through my mind was ' I'm never seeing that again'. Called the hotel and they had found my jacket and were keeping it safe. Very happy!!

United KingdomIt was a bit noisy, being so central (though thankfully not during the night), and quite basic, but I honestly don't think you'd get more for your money. One of the flushes on the toilets wasn't working optimally (you had to pump it) and some wiring in the room looked like it needed attention, but these are minor shortcomings. It was a bit weird checking in at the bar and signage would've been helpful as we weren't the only arriving guests unsure of where to go.
Really good value for what it is, great location, with good food and excellent service. Ivan, who seemed to be covering a number of roles, was so friendly and helpful-- I can't praise him highly enough. Very decent vegan options, choice of drinks, and a pool table in the bar.

Exactly as expected. Room was small, but we knew that when booking. Bar staff very welcoming and food of a good standard. Separate entrance for the hotel when bar closed. Close to the city centre, the main requirement for this stay.

United KingdomThe rooms are above a pub and it did get noisy at night with people sitting talking outside and the karoake party. But that's no surprise and it was quite entertaining. The window didn't shut tight and was single glazed - if that was improved then it would be an excellent room.
Great location in the centre of Exeter, great value for money - we also had a good breakfast in the pub when we checked out. Nice to see that value for money is still a thing!
