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 KingdomUnfortunately the property wasn’t the most up to date and needed a little TLC, but other then that it was a perfectly good hotel room,
The property was very close to the city centre, and the host was very knowledgeable about the area.

United KingdomAs already mentioned some TLC would not go amiss in places.
This is a budget hotel, so do not expect all the bells and whistles of upmarket ones. The room was clean and spacious although it needed some TLC, but at the price it was good value all the same.

United KingdomWe asked specifically for twin beds, but were given a double bed which luckily was not too bad for 2 of us who normally have twin beds. The room itself was clean, but the shower plug was absoutely filthy and engorged with hair and scum. It looked as if it had never been cleaned. I removed mass with handful of tissues and rinsed it superficially as I needed to shower. I left the plug out for the cleaner to see how dirty it was. iI needed a thorough clean with a long brush to go into the pipe and disinfecting. When we left there was noone to inform about the room's shortcomings.
light and newly decorated, had fan, table light, kettle , wifi,(weak reception), clean bedding, modern appearance, en suite, space, good storage - wardrobe, drawers, stool. Fan was on when we arrived.

IndiaNo shower gels were provided. When went to check about this, no one was available in the reception or in the office. Absolutely pathetic. For the guests, this is a new place and when can't find anyone to ask or get any help, it is embarrassing. next day morning, when told about this, the receptionist told that we would have to ask. what a contrasting answer and least bothered about the guests.
Only the room.

United KingdomI feel the photo in the Web site is not the proper one. When l saw the photo, l thought we could watch the sea from hotel.That is the only reason l took this room.There was no one at the reception when we reached . l paid for a family room it was not spacious enough compared to other hotels.One bed was covering the plug point and couldn't use kettle properly as the table kept far away from plug point. My journey was not a planned one. There was no shower gel or shampoo or conditioners. I went and bought it separately
