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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Everything was great.
Lovely place with a very friendly staff, and comfy beds, and in a great location, just a few steps from the beach. The price was affordable, room clean, and spacious. I got some helpful recommendations from the staff as well.

Although it wasn't a deal breaker the balcony could use a new coat of paint. The bedside lighting was too bright
We liked the room, decor and facilities. I loved the balcony access I loved that they allowed my cats to stay as well. Denewood is very accommodating. I loved the staff and owner. Beautiful and helpful people.

The shower was difficult to regulate, it was either scorching hot (with little water pressure) or cold (with adequate water pressure). Also, nowhere to put your bathroom bits or outdoor coats, as no hooks available.
The location was great as were the room sizes. The staff were also fantastic with some nice little extras such as Easter eggs in our coffee cups over the Easter BH weekend. Also, Pam was very friendly and wonderful with our dog. They provided a bowl, towels, treats and even doggy bags. Pam even gave our doggy a cute bandanna which she looks very fetching in.

It took a long time for hot water to come through in the morning, but was told it was due to the hotel not at capacity, so little amounts of water being used.
A warm welcome from Alan, and Pam(in the evening).

Absolutely nothing
Everything was perfect, we had a warm welcome and given lots of information about the local area. Advised on all dog friendly pubs and restaurants which was a great help. Amazing location a 2 minute walk from the beach. Onsite safe parking. The room was again amazing plenty of room for the dog beds and bowls. Bathroom good size and shower was nice and hot. Very warm in the room despite the room being massive and very cold outside. After we had gone out for dinner we was greeted by a lady called aunty pam, she gave us great advice about dog stuff, gave our dogs lots of fuss and treats. We say and talked for half an hour about all kinds of things which was great and makes us want to come back and stay longer despite our 4 hour journey. Will definitely stay again when we are in the area
