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 KingdomRoom was very dirty apart from the bed. There was a very strong smell from the toilet which was unpleasant. We sprayed the room and toilet with perfume but it only took the edge off the smell. The liggt in the toilet was was very low light not bright enough. There was ann empty used takeaway carton in the wardrobe. We had to wash the shower out before use as it was dirty. The tv and plug looks like it has not been cleaned. Windows were dirty. Under the bed had not been cleaned as there were wrappers and dirt left there. No tea or coffe in room had to go to kitchen. Breakfast available was toast, cereals, and egg's boiled but you had to boil them in a machine with no instructions. Orange juice. Tea and coffee. Milk is longlife carton no fresh milk. The whole place could do with a lick of paint. If it had this and a bit of a makeover it would be ideal oh and more for breakfast. Overall for £98 it's not somewhere I would go back to.
Very friendly and helpful staff.. The location was good for where we needed but sat nav will not take you there.

United KingdomThere was a build up of dust on top of the headboard which looks like it had been there a while. A few biggish cobwebs in corner of room which could be cleaned in a few seconds. The next morning I made a coffee in the breakfast room and added lumps of coagulated milk into it. Milk was clearly off but left in the fridge. There was another carton of long life milk with which I made cereal.
The price was very reasonable for what we wanted. The owner/manager was friendly and welcoming. The bed sheets were crisp and clean. The ensuite was clean and functional. The room was warm. TV worked fine.

United KingdomVery tired property, needs a lick of paint in the room and some decent heating - it was freezing and smelt damp. Very noisy - little sound proofing between rooms, my door banged every time someone else opened a door (not sure it was a fire door) and cars racing near the property at night.
Breakfast was a good choice of food and they went out of their way to cater for me being gluten free.

United KingdomThe cabin felt damp and woke up with blocked sinuses etc. There is a heater in there that maybe we should have kept on low overnight to prevent the damp building up. Guidance on that would've been appreciated.
Owner/staff greeted me really nicely. Very warm and quickly showed me around the hotel. Did seem like he was in a rush but I think overall was more so just respectful of my time.

United KingdomThe room was in dying need of dusting, hoovering and re-decorating. There were big clumps of dust on the floor boards that were getting stuck to my socks, was really disgusting. There was something wrong with the toilet, it flushes but the water flow wouldn't stop. So, it sounds like the toilet never stopped flushing. Had to put ear plugs in over night otherwise it would have kept me awake. We didn't risk taking a shower, as the shower room smelt damp and was a bit dark and dingy. If the room wasn't clean, I doubt the shower would be any good.
I liked staying in a garden hut, it felt private and cosy. The common kitchen area was ok but there was a lot of dirty dishes left on a trolley attracting flys. The area the place was in, felt safe. There was a good choice of basic continental breakfasts and dietary was considered (they supplied different kinds of milk).

Place needs renovating to justify the asking price. Room very basic and lacking in simple accessories. Place not recommended until Improvements made.
