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 KingdomThe sink was blocked in the bathroom so we had to use the bath tap for water to wash our face and brush our teeth. In the morning, the light would shine through the edge of the blinds at the windows which is only an issue if you are a light sleeper and wake up easily to the light.
I enjoyed the location of the hotel as it is situated by the Pier and my room had a stunning view of the park. It was a very comfortable sleep and the Family room was incredibly spacious.

United KingdomHave stayed here twice before and had no complaints. Only thing that let us down this time was how uncomfortable the bed was, we could literally feel the springs in the mattress.
Great hotel in perfect location. Shame the bar wasn't fully finished and open but sure it will be next time. Lady on check in was so friendly and welcoming, then again thisndame the following morning when served our breakfast. Room was clean and overlooked the park. Breakfast was superb, freshly cooked and extra toast given no problem. Car parking is secure overnight and free, as long as you put in reg at check in.

ItalyThere was some work taking place whilst we were there but it was Easter break so nobody was working during the time we were there. Towels in the bathroom were not changed daily, (we were there a week), and the room wasnt swept daily. The weather was very wet at that time so we obviously had sandy muddy shoes almost daily. Once mentioned the floor was swept immediately.
the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. I requested a walk in shower and it was in a very large sized bathroom in the annex part of the hotel. It was perfect for what we needed which was an hotel by the sea front to visit family. We were out during most of the days we were there, so didnt need anything more than what we got. The breakfasts were great and the staff were very polite and accomodating.

AustraliaUnfortunately, there is no lift, making it very difficult for me to carry my luggage upstairs. As a senior solo traveller, this was a challenge. I stayed four nights and whilst I understand that Easter is a busy time, the breakfasts weren't the best with some items being unavailable. A workman repairing floorboards using noisy electric tools in the dining area during breakfast time was perhaps not ideal, although the refurbishment is looking good.
The staff were lovely. The room was fine. The hotel is undergoing maintenance work, so the room needed some paintwork finished. The location was perfect. Near the seaside and attractions.
