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 KingdomNot a lot of down points to mention ... The cost could be a little more competitive, however, I would happily return to this hotel.
Superb friendly hotel & I wholeheartedly recommended this hotel. It is near enough for Blackpool attractions yet distant enough to be peaceful. The excellent tram service runs literally across the road and is another plus point for choosing this hotel. Look no further...you won't find better.

United KingdomThe only thing that could have been improved was the shower. It was an electric one, and it was quite tricky to get the temperature just right. Other than that, I can't really suggest anything to improve at all!
Chris and Chris were very pleasant, and were great at checking if we had everything we needed. The cooked breakfast was fantastic, the location was great (about a 40min walk to the centre of town, or about 5mins on the tram - so close but also quiet), the room was lovely and the bed was comfortable. The lounge/dining room also had a self-service/honesty bar that was really handy after a long day of sightseeing.

United KingdomWe never saw a 'Kiss Me Quick' Hat anywhere in town!! Lol.
Chris the host was very friendly and helpful from the outset. The place itself was one of the cleanest I've ever stayed in! Breakfast was just right and quickly served up. Our room overlooked the sea and they have erected some large illuminations directly opposite. In fact we have booked the same room in October so we can see the illuminations. As for travel we booked a 3 day pass with Blackpool Transport which allowed us unlimited use of trams or buses which run every 12 mins in either direction. This was quite handy as there is a tram stop just two minutes walk from the hotel. Free parking on site is also a plus point with ample good spaces available. In all I can say were were 'Over the moon' with our stay and will make Fossil Tree our go to place in Blackpool for any future visits!

United KingdomShower pressure not great, but didn't really impact us at all.
Loved the size of the room and the decor. Felt relaxed the entire time with it being away from all the noise, but still close enough for a nice beach walk into town. We've stayed in plenty of places up and down the country and the breakfast here was the best. We had such a nice time and the hosting was excellent and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much we decided to book an extra night. Well worth the money.

FranceWe chose The Fossil Tree because we needed to be in close proximity to where our aunt had lived and to attend her funeral, and what a wonderful choice we made. Chris and his wife Christine are excellent hosts, nothing is too much trouble and have a wealth of knowledge of their locality and the numerous tourist attractions of Blackpool and the surrounding area. The Fossil Tree hotel is a haven of peace and calm, but if the hustle and bustle of Blackpool beckons, then hop on a tram or bus, both of which are almost on the doorstep of the hotel. Our room was lovely with a sea view, a very comfy bed, a flat screen TV and 2 chairs, and must not forget the wonderful incidentals like a coffee maker and a kettle for that 'early morning cuppa' in bed before going down for breakfast. How does the saying go - 'Breakfast like a king' - well, that is exactly what you get at the Fossil Tree, a most wonderful choice to suit all tastes and served by Chris, always with a smile and time for you. There is a well stocked bar operating on an honesty box system and a comfortable lounge area, ideal for a night-cap after a busy day. This hotel is definitely not to be missed.
