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 KingdomI know some of the staff were training but thought overall the service in the bar and dining room needs improvement. There were a lot of people movement in and out of the reception area with the spa and hotel and couldn’t decide if they were loitering or not and some looked undesirable. Needs to have security and a separate entrance to the spa area in our opinion!!
Bed was really comfortable

United KingdomAlthough comfortable, there was quite a bit of noise in the morning. This mostly came from people walking in the corridor and some with their barking dogs.
This holiday Inn was in a good location for my needs. It was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomBroken skirting boards in one of my rooms and that’s not safe nor is it appropriate for family rooms where young children can easily get injured. Sofa beds aren’t comfortable but in fairness the actual beds are very comfortable. Closing time for the pool is listed as 8pm but we were told we had to be out no later than 7:45pm. Maybe they should reflect this on the information they provide. The hot tub wasn’t working and that was such a shame.
I liked how there’s a pool which is great for family breaks. Food was great and staff were all very friendly and professional. From staff at reception, housekeeping to restaurant staff, they were all 10/10. The bedrooms were clean. Location is great. No parking issues. The food (breakfast) was really good and staff made sure to top up regularly. Great choice even for fussy eaters. Hot food was served at the right temperatures. Decorations are quite nice.

United KingdomThe price for breakfast too expensive, so we crossed the road to Clarence pier & had it for half the cost of the hotel. The reception staff were a bit standoffish except for Stephen! He was always trying to help, even opening the bar for a group of customers who had just come off shift & wanted a drink to relax.
We liked the location it was close to the bus stop so made the trip to/from the rail station easy. The price for parking was good too even though we were on the road. We enjoyed the swimming pool. Bar prices were reasonable.
