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 KingdomNot staying for longer.
Wonderful friendly staff - really good food at a reasonable price. Room was absolutely spotless, with fresh linen and generous towels. Bar has a wonderful range of Beers and wine which again were reasonably priced for a Hotel. Never judge a book by its cover - The exterior of the Hotel just doesn’t do it justice - it’s really a bit of a travellers gem.

United KingdomParking the car was a bit problematical as the p;ace was busy and had to wait until late before a space became available. The kitchen had problems with appliances which meant some things could not be accommodated.
My entire experience was satisfactory, would stay there again. Meals were fine, Bar service was OK and the rooms met my expectations. The staff were friendly and attentive even though the night was busy.

SpainNo major complaints or grumbles. I slept with the window open, a bit of traffic noise, and a Cockerell early in the morning woke me up at 4 am. Parking is free, but spaces are a little tight.
What an absolute cracker of a hotel and restaurant, from the moment you arrive the staff great you with a friendly hello and you feel welcomed. The room was super clean and comfortable. The bed was probably the best one I've slept in for some time and a huge shower with plenty of hot water. My god, the food in the restaurant is amazing. That alone is worth 10 stars. When I'm back in that area, I'll be a repeat client. Well done to all the staff there.

United KingdomIt was hard to figure out where to check in at the pub and we had to wait for punters to be served as other staff were busy about the restaurant area Shower pressure was weird. The guests that were staying in the rooms next to us were very loud coming back at 1am and then again at 4am, obviously not the hotels fault but I thought I would mention it.
I had the best steak I've ever had in the UK at the restaurant. The room was very nice and clean. The bed was very comfy as well. The location was perfect as we managed to hit up 5 Castle ruins before 12 noon.
