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 StatesShower door in room 111 is too close to wall. Bathroom is beautiful and obviously recently updated, but floor plan is quirky. Also - maybe put a towel hook next to the sink? (It’s still a great room overall!)

United KingdomThe light from the aircon controller on the wall in the room was very bright at night.
A beautiful, characterful hotel. Spacious room. Comfortable beds with nice bed linen. Excellent shower. Lovely soft towels. Staff in reception and the restaurant (for our excellent breakfast) were all super friendly, helpful, attentive and efficient. Aircon in the room was a lifesaver on the hottest night of the year. Brilliantly located right next to the river and close to lots of pubs and restaurants.

United KingdomAs with most hotels the drinks were overpriced which is a shame as the bar was lovely. With so many pubs in the area with much more reasonably priced drinks the bar didn’t seem used by guests and we certainly only had a couple there.
The staff were fantastic. Great room overlooking the courtyard with a fantastic seating area.

United KingdomBrief all staff on the parking nearby so they can brief us fully! Hand out a sheet maybe? It was fine actually (we were pointed in the right direction and it’s not too bad, 5 mins walk) but more info on checkin would have been ideal. Read and act in advance requests made on booking.com! One of ours hadn’t seemingly been noticed. It was sorted on checkin though.
Spacious, relaxed feel. Recent fresh redesign inspired by the river and Henley history. Highly attentive and professional staff. Excellent food. Particular thanks to Pauline for masterminding the relaxed and efficient breakfast team. Plus Linda’s flat whites!

SpainNo parking and restaurant closed on Sunday evenings.
The location, and the excellent customer service. We were disappointed with our room (didn't want a ground floor/courtyard room), and though the hotel was very full the staff went out of their way to find us an alternative which was lovely. They also let us leave our car overnight outside the hotel, instead of moving it to a site 10 minutes' walk away. We had a great stay.
