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 KingdomBreakfast was lacking flavour and size - coffee was poor. Generally overpriced and underdelivered and then an expected tip on top of £20/head. Strange 'burnt' smell when ascending the stairs...?
Good location, comfortable lounge areas, the complimentary snack bar nice addition, friendly and helpful staff.

United KingdomVery friendly and welcoming. Extremely accommodating of us travelling with a toddler - the little teepee with toys and books in a room was a lovely touch. Very helpful by setting up a high chair in the lounge space for an early dinner for our toddler as the restaurant was busy with a wedding event.

United KingdomAdditional cost for parking was okay but we weren’t allowed to leave our car beyond midday after checkout. This meant we had to move it before shopping as we were leaving at 3.
Beautiful hotel with some lovely touches. Pantry a big hit. We also loved the dolls house containing the tea and coffee and the record player. Beds were very comfortable and everything was spotless. We had an excellent meal in the restaurant.

United KingdomThe bag collection service was fully booked in a not particularly busy period which I think was a great shame as it’s a big usp for the guest house and makes a lovely touch! I used it when I stayed at the Margate guest house and raved about this service a lot. There was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom from the drains, which wasn’t too much of a deal for us as we were only there for one night but had I been staying for a while I think I would have asked to move rooms
The interiors at the 2 guesthouse hotels I have stayed at are beautiful and always feel luxurious with a homey touch, the pantry is a really lovely touch too. The treatment i had in the spa was the best I have ever had and my mum said the same.. Staff are super friendly, attentive and accommodating. I actually left some jewellery in my robe pocket and didn’t realise it was missing until I had left the guesthouse. The staff were so helpful, contacted the external laundry team and managed to locate them for me which I am SO extremely grateful for!

United KingdomYou can hear a lot of what goes on outside of the room. Doors banging, chatter, etc. I understand it being a guest house the original features were kept and noise is a result of that. I am flagging just so other guests are aware beforehand.
Good location, great decoration and perks (pantry with snacks, coffee, etc). Staff was very good too.

United KingdomIt would be difficult to say anything negative - the only small thing would be the cocktails at the bar. Very disappointing in terms of quality and considering the price. However, that is a minor point.
The room and overall hotel were excellent - really tasteful with attention to detail. I particularly loved the lighting in the bathroom, the bed and the pillows! The hotel itself felt warm and welcoming. The walk into the city was perfect too - not too far. We would definitely stay again.
