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 KingdomHad to move rooms because wallpaper was too jazzy and patterned and affected my wife's vision. When we arrived we were told that the Tasting Menu was not available that weekend, which was one of the main reasons we chose the hotel.
The room was decent and the bed was comfortable. All of the staff were very helpful. The restaurant was nice and the food portion sizes were good. Main courses were excellent (especially the sirloin steak and bass chowder). The Bar staff were all very good with excellent service.

United KingdomNothing much to say here. I'm not sure the breakfast is worth £15 but when I did have it, it was tasty. Otherwise a great stay.
The staff are fabulous. We had an issue, and they had us moved immediately. They were informative about the area and suggested good things to do. The evening food was excellent too. It is located in a peaceful area, and the grounds are great.

My family and I booked a stay to celebrate our parents wedding anniversary. The hotel Manager, Paul, and all the staff members were absolutely fabulous. They arranged a private dinning room for us all and were very accommodating. The meal was superb and the service was equally fantastic. Our room was very nicely decorated, modern, clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was great with a wide variety of options to choose from.

We were a group of friends looking for a hotel we could meet up. Coming in from various parts of the UK our main criteria were comfort, nice food, friendly service, convenience for touristy things. Briery Wood did not disappoint. In fact it exceeded expectations. The rooms are spacious and feel quite luxurious. Lots of little touches make it stand out. The dinner menu (included I our rate) was not restricted- and the food was fab. Beautifully presented and tasty. Bar well stocked and a great wine list. Breakfast was a stylish and plentiful too. And the staff went out of their way to make us welcome.
