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.).

Darwin’s townhouse was so clean, beautiful, and spacious. It was close to a walking trail as well as restaurants. The breakfasts were out of this world! I will miss that the most!

Everything about the hotel and staff was excellent, from the friendly welcome at check in to the time of departure we were made to feel welcome by the friendly and most helpful staff. The room was clean, comfortable with everything needed for our stay. The breakfast was superb, totally spoilt for choice.

United KingdomSurprisingly hot the weekend I visited, one room's sash window only opened a tiny bit. This did not bother me and I swapped my originally assigned room (with a wider window) for this room (it had a better bathroom anyway). However, just be aware that if you love sleeping in a fridge-like air con room, this may not agree with you.
So happy I booked Darwin's Townhouse not only is a beautiful hotel but the staff are amazing! The rooms are all different, we booked 5 standard double rooms and only one had what you might maybe think is a "small" bathroom. I would certainly stay here again I thought it was great value for money and in an excellent spot with car park nearby. My room was facing the street outside and it was quiet being pedestrian only. Two of the rooms were garden facing and if I was to visit again I would get a garden room. Breakfast was £15 and there was a mix of buffet and menu items in that price, so pretty standard pricing. The honesty bar and communal garden/areas were lovely. Such a good job by the owners.

The breakfast was outstanding: it arrived quickly, well prepared, and tailored to my request. The home-made jams and jellies were very special and the staff were charming and very attentive. All in all I would recommend it highly and I will return to stay there on my future trips to Shrewsbury

United KingdomAlthough it was very close to the car park, it would have been nice for no charges as I would say the room was on the higher rate than what I would normally pay.
Room was lovely, had a complimentary upgrade to a larger room. Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice. Location was brilliant, central for everything and close to shops and tourist attractions Had an honesty bar which was fully stocked with everything from wine, beer, spirits and snacks.
