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 KingdomSmall double bed and I mean small. £7 for a very small bottle of wine...err no thanks Mark's and Spencer's is just down the road. Just saying. Oh the sash windows are a treat (don't let the pigeons in lol) but they are rotting. Very visible.
Excellent location to get a ferry, lovely harbour views. Staff were helpful and rooms were clean and tidy if a bit small. Good tea and coffee. Would stay again, but only with a bigger bed.

United KingdomNo staff at the Spa reception to get towels. The key that you get at the ground reception for the locker in the Spa works at other padlocks so it's not safe to leave valuables. The waiting time for the lift takes ages so it is best to use the stairs.
The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. You don't need to go out for a nice meal as the hotel has 2 restaurants. We had fish and chips for lunch at the Wheelers, had a 2 course meal at the main restaurant plus drinks at the bar. We also had a nice breakfast and coffee at the Wheelers.

United StatesJust the fact we couldn’t stay longer!
Fantastic location! A short 15 minute walk from the train station. Beautiful waterfront location. Perfect to walk up to the Dover Castle. AMAZING views of the Cliffs of Dover. The Spa was perfect to soak/ sweat in after so much exploring. Loved the food and ambiance of the bar/cafe. The staff was lovely and accommodating. DEFINITELY the perfect choice for our Holiday.

This place is improving a lot. Rooms are comfortable with great furnishings. Good quality, reasonably priced room service. Great place to spend the evening when travelling for business. Tech great too so you can hook your phone up to tv and watch what you like.

United KingdomI didn’t like that the toilet over glow was going all the time. And especially through the night. Also the biggest thing we was disappointed with is there was no where it sit at night and have a drink as there was a private party in the bar.
Instead of having to go to hotel to request permit, it would of been nice for this to be in place so we could drive straight to car park
