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 KingdomCheck in was a bit chaotic, with lots of staff but seemingly no urgency. Fire alarm went off in the middle of the night, but it stopped after a few seconds.
For a budget hotel, the room and facilities were as expected. Bed very comfortable, all facilities spotlessly clean.

United KingdomToilet room is very small, this did actually cause us some problems with us being bigger sized. I think you need to automatically provide two pillows on your beds as one pillow is never enough for comfort. Could do with having plug sockets near the bed, if I required a CPAP machine I would not be able to stay in that room.
I liked the vending options and food menu. Also liked the sport being on in the reception area. I liked the fact the room was better than expected. It was cleaner and and more comfortable than assumed.

United KingdomThe only thing that let it down was the size of the toilet room. It was tiny. Knees almost touched door when sat down and it had pebbledash texture on the walls. The toilet also seemed very low so if someone has mobility problems or is on the taller/larger side this would be a challenge. Also the flush mechanism wasn't great. Large plastic square on wall which seemed flimsy and didn't flush the toilet adequately regardless of whether you held it down or not
Easy to find, happy smiling staff upon arrival. Clean entrance. Option of rooms. Rooms were adequate for a budget hotel with towels and soaps provided. Large shower cubicle. If sharing with friends just know you will end up flashing the other guests as the door is translucent glass. Short distance to city centre. Basic food and snacks available. Close to shops and restaurants.
