Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 States of AmericaThe room was stuffy even when we ran the fan and opened the windows.
We arrived at Rabble on Saturday evening after a three day tour. It really just looked like a restaurant and I could not see where the hotel was. Were were tired and a bit confused when we were greeted by an employee who was very friendly and asked us if we just got in to town. We let him know we had just returned from a tour and were checking in. He guided us to the back of the restaurant and asked to wait for the manager. The restaurant had a really nice vibe. People were there celebrating an engagement and others were enjoying their Saturday night with cocktails. Eventually the manager came and greeted us and got us checked in. He also suggested a dinner reservation for us since the restaurant was almost booked. We agreed and he was able to get us a spot, He then helped us with our luggage and led us to our room. NOTE-- There is no elevator/lift at this property. The room was outfitted with a SMEG mini fridge, a hair dryer, what looked like a Dyson fan, a Nespresso machine. I think there was an iron and ironing board too. The beds were comfortable and it was pretty quiet. The shower had shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. We had dinner and cocktails at the restaurant and it was excellent. It exceeded our expectations. I liked this property and would stay here again.

United KingdomThe stairway upto the bedrooms from the rear of the restaurant was a little tired and shabby. It also smelt of cigarette smoke. The bedframe was metal & had sharp edges to it.
The staff were friendly, the bar/restaurant area was lovely, and breakfast was really nice, which was served until 12pm. Nice touches to the room - hairdryer, ghd hair straighteners, smeg fridge, Dyson fan and lovely coffee machine.

United KingdomAccess to the rooms is via the restaurant. Literally pass the kitchen to get to a stairwell to them. More like rooms above a bar as opposed to a hotel. A bit noisy out the back with glass recycling. Rooms also a bit dark and mines was very small.
Great location and the restaurant and bar are nicely decorated. Mini bar, coffee machine and straightners all in the room are a nice touch.

United KingdomOur room faced out to a back street at ground level and seemed a little exposed when the curtains were opened. Lighting in the rooms is very 'atmospheric'. Could have done with some additional brighter lighting. Maybe a little spruce up of the grouting/woodwork in the bathroom and a change of the rug in the room would have given a more pristine feel? None of these issues impacted our stay - but always room for improvement!☺️
Great facilities in the room. Love the ghds and the coffee machine! A fantastic location with a very warm, cosy feel and lovely friendly staff.

United KingdomWe were a little disappointed in the room itself. Even though it has been decorated really nicely, the shower was leaking and had clearly been leaking for some time because the back board behind the toilet had clear signs of damp/ damage. Every morning we had to put several towels down on the floor. I alerted staff to the issue after our first night and they provided us with extra towels.
The restaurant is lovely and the staff were friendly. The location was good and the room was spacious.
