Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomRoom was very hot when we arrived, turned off radiator in bedroom and opened window and it was fine. TV was in an awkward position, wardrobe restricted the view on one side of the bed. Bathroom needs refurbishing, very tired and as such didn’t look that clean. A few hairs in the bath too. Despite being hot upstairs, the bathroom was very cold. Managed to find a switch for the towel rail and it got a bit warmer. The cushions had a couple of suspicious looking stains!
We were given a suite - this consisted of a couple of chairs and tea and coffee facilities and a bathroom downstairs and the bedroom upstairs. Bed was very comfortable and the sound-proofing was excellent as couldn’t hear much at all from adjacent rooms. Food in pub/restaurant was very good, but service was a little slow despite not being overly busy. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was excellent, although didn’t have much fresh fruit. Plenty of tea and coffee

United KingdomThe prices in the restaurant have increase last year steak was £23. This year £31. Plus the automatically added 12.5% to bill despite it saying discretionary.
We returned to the hotel following a wonderful visit last year. Slightly disappointed this year we had a nice room but the shower was very tired and the grout was black.

United KingdomBathroom was full of mould and could have done with a refurb as wasn't pleasant to use. Couldn't use bath as plug broken. Staff could have smiled as all looked grumpy. Breakfast choice limited as didn't have a few ingredients. Was promptly put away at 10am which is way too early on a weekend. Also had to vacate room by 10am which meant having to pack up car before going to breakfast. Should be later at the weekend like most other establishments.
Location, food was lovely at both lunch and dinner. Bed was super comfy. Cheap also.
