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 KingdomOur room was Cheriton and right outside our ground floor window was a large rubbish bin and some building equipment also overlooked by next door building so needed to keep curtains closed. The other side as we came out of room was some sort of equipment fenced off but rather ugly. Also, my partner drinks beer and there was none on tap at the bar so we didn’t bother with a drink at the hotel.
The hotel itself is really nice, tasteful. The room was beautiful and the bed exceptionally comfortable. Spotless particularly the bathroom. There was a safe, iron, hairdryer. Aircon too. Nice bedlinen. Nice breakfast. Good size car park. Just across the road to get to restaurant we were booked in to.

United KingdomAre room was in the Town house across the road. Not a problem; however the room was next to front door which was constantly being opened & closed the noise was loud in our room!! We asked to be moved & luckily there was one room available in the hotel where we were in peace!! Cooked Breakfast was good. The croissants ran out and didn’t get replaced in time for us🙁small problem and didn’t really matter to us.
Friendly staff, especially at front desk. The bar area was great for meeting up with family and friends. We loved the decor and staff were great.

United KingdomIt was a double bed rather than a King size. Disappointed with the cooked breakfasts! Poached eggs were hard!

United KingdomLocation and service provided by the staff was a 10/10. Prior to arrival we were informed there was a function at the hotel, which we thought was informative, and it didn’t affect our experience. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, we would return again.

United KingdomOur room was noisy during the night and early hours of every morning only from the room upstairs. They moved around a lot! Sounded like furniture moving about and we could hear every stomping step. We also didn't have a bed head so we couldn't sit up in bed to watch TV, read a book or just relax. Would have appreciated a bed head. Breakfast service was slow and seemed disorganised whether busy or not. But overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel. I would just request a different room next time.
Great sized premium room in the hotel building. Cooked breakfast option daily, very comfortable large king bed with good quality linen. Dining rooms were lovely and the bar and lounge areas with big plush leather sofas were a great place to sit and relax before and after dinner. Staff were also really friendly and the lava cake and rose petals left in the room for the special occasion was a lovely touch.

United KingdomThe fact that our room was on the ground floor. When ever anyone walk pass they head a bird eye view inside the room, owing to the fact that there was no net curtains or blinds. The widow is shoulder high from the street, if we wanted any form of previcy it means that we had to closed the curtains.
The location as just right every thing was in walking distance

United KingdomThe room we had ( osprey ) the bed was too soft, we were for ever moving to the middle of the bed. Need to improve on the full cooked breakfast, the kitchen needs to check what’s on the plate before it leaves the kitchen and we wouldn’t have had to ask for the items that was missing.
