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 StatesThis is actually the consolidation of three buildings so getting from one to another was what the kids called a "rabbit warren"... more fun than a problem once you learned your way around or if you're only in one room (our multi-generational group had three.)
The proprietors were wonderful to deal with over several plan changes. Meals (breakfast/dinner) were served in a wonderful "sun room," well prepared with good food options. It's only a block off the promenade (though up hill) and its convenient bus stop. They run both a "hotel" and "apartments" so there are numerous sleeping options.

Very good choices for breakfast menu. I eat at the restaurant on a number of occasions during my stay. Food always of an excellent quality and staff friendly and helpful. I have stayed at the Welbeck on a number of previous occasions and would certainly recommend it to others.

United KingdomThe pillows were quite hard and the elevator was a squeeze to get 2 people and 2 small backpacks inside, but these were minor issues.
Really liked staying here. The gentleman (sorry, I didn't catch his name) on reception was very friendly, the room very comfortable and spacious, the shower powerful and the wifi fast. Nice to have a small fridge in the room! The price was good too. Would recommend!

United KingdomShort but steep hill up from the promenade to the hotel, but then nothing in Douglas is flat once you leave the prom!
The apartment was very well set out and felt secure. Had a bit of a sea view. More or less everything you could need was in the kitchen area, including a few tea bags, coffee etc. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the chef was very helpful with regard to dietary needs. We had one evening meal here which, contrary to our expectations, was actually a little cheaper than some of the local restaurants. Overall, a good hotel. Would consider using again.

We had an excellent stay at the Wellbeck in a huge corner room with a view of the sea. It was very comfortable and clean. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. Breakfast was great with a huge choice and I particularly enjoyed the fresh kippers. I thoroughly recommend it.

United KingdomNot a lot really, the lifts are quite small, but it is a Victorian building, (and all the better for it) so they have to fit the available space. Because the corridors are quite narrow, (again constrained by being an old building) it may not suit folk with a disability. Although all these points are mentioned on their brochure, so I actually have no complaints.
The location of the Wellbeck is excellent, basically bang on in the middle of the prom. The choice of breakfasts is fantastic, catering for every need and request. I had Manx kippers everyday. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

United KingdomRemoving complimentary toiletries on eco grounds very suspect. More wastage occurs when guests have to buy either small plastic containers of shower gel / shampoo, or larger containers which cannot be taken on board a plane so get thrown away. Saying that a stock is kept at reception for "emergencies" is not acceptable - "if required" would be better, "emergency" is last resort. Putting refillable non-plastic supplies in the bathrooms would be even better. Many visitors travel by (non eco-friendly, I know) plane and the travel restrictions on liquids mean that toiletries are not added luxuries.
Unexpected sea view from room, lovely breakfast, comfortable bed, easy to use shower and hot water (though shower cubicle a little small), someone on reception most of the time.

Czech RepublicThe curtains were pretty thin so the sun would wake us up early in the morning. We were really unhappy about that. I would strongly recommend the management to fit the rooms with proper curtains, as the current ones are more or less useless. The staff were generally very nice, but when serving breakfast, they tended to be ineffective, chaotic and slow.
Cozy hotel located quite conveniently in the middle of the Douglas coast promenade. The bus stop is just a 2 minutes' walk, just like the convenience store. The apartment we stayed at was clean, quite spacious, had a nice view of the hills and the sea and was well equipped - a cooker, dishwasher, oven, microwave, fridge, kitchen utensils. We only missed a washing machine. ;-) The beds were a bit soft, but stil comfy. The breakfast was partially a buffet and partially served full English breakfast.
