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 KingdomOur room was generally good but the bathroom was quirky. It lent itself to having a walkin shower but instead they squeezed in a bath with a shower over the bath. That really didn’t work as the glass shower screen didn’t allow decent access as it could not move inwards beyond the bath handle as it was too long. Consequently when we had a shower there was quite a lot of water on the bathroom floor.
The location and facilities were all very good and the staff were excellent. The food was generally good. Breakfast was excellent but the evening meals were a little uninspiring particularly the main courses.

United KingdomThe seats in the bar lounge were far too low for sitting in and getting up. We found very difficult, and we were young. So the older people were having difficulties.
The outside pool was great, and the bar at night was good.

United KingdomBed and pillows, leading to a disturbed sleep. Towels were worn and a little stained. Pool supposed to be heated, requires revisiting as it was still too cold.
Breakfast was good but not enough fresh fruit. Dinner was also good, only issue was I was informed that it would be in one restaurant to find out it was in another due to bookings and I wasn’t informed so felt a bit confused to where to go. Staff are amazing and very friendly and sociable at all levels. The hotel should be very proud of their staff and the input they provide. Bed a pillows were far too soft for me, which lead to an uncomfortable sleep and neck ache. Amenities are good and coffee excellent. Bar staff very helpful. I would certainly recommend for a short or weekend trip. Toiletries in bathroom lovely.

United KingdomIndoors swimming pool full of long hair and unsupervised so teenagers wear running and jumping on top of my head. Outdoors swimming pool cold not heated at all. As well I had to pay £7 per night for an extra fridge which was not working. When I said in reception that it wasn’t working they just apologise but no refund was offered. When I asked for refund they apologised again and refused refunding me.
Clean rooms, nice and helpful staff. Good location.

United KingdomThere was only one lift and it could only fit 3 people in at a time which was ok but not ideal. The only annoying thing really was that there was only one plug point and it was by the desk and not by the bed.
Lovely hotel and room. Lovely location. Would stay there again.

United KingdomI felt that the parking charges were excessive for people actually staying in the hotel. I would have liked a bath mat for the bath/shower as I found this very slippery.
We loved the art Deco decor in the reception and dining room, it almost felt like Poirot and Hastings would descend the staircase. The food was absolutely delicious thanks to chef Luis and made so much nicer by the very charming Eduardo who went that extra mile to ensure that we were all comfortable and in particular my 95 year old mother.The rooms were clean and comfortable but the small double was a little cramped having given my mum the large room which had a walk in shower as she would not have managed the shower in a bath. The upstairs corridor was a little tired looking .

CyprusThe only lift is on the small side, a tad slow at busy times. The pool and deck were being renovated during my visit so I couldn't use that area. It didn't detract from my stay as it was too cold to use any pool and at times there was a chilly wind.
I stayed for a family wedding. great location, a short walk down to the beautiful beach. I loved the Art Deco style. Fabulous shower. Great mattresses and I slept like a log. Very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. I would most definitely stay again.
