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 KingdomOn the 30th of december I was the only guest staying, which meant that it was not always easy to find staff (check in/Breakfast), since they were preparing for NYE the following night. This was understandable and pretty minor, with a few more guests in the hotel and no party to prep for I suspect things would have been very different. My room on the top floor was recently refurbished and very clean, but at £130 pn I think it needs a better shower - the electric shower was a bit underpowered.
The staff really make the difference here, they are very personable and welcoming. They were happy to chat with me at the bar after my friends went home, and were very efficient with any questions I had. Location is just a 1 min walk from the seafront with a number of bars and restaurants nearby. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

United KingdomIdeal location for a stop off pre or post Eurotunnel. Small car park 50metres away which is free between 6pm and 8am. Room was comfortable and clean and although this is a working pub as well I wasn’t bothered by any noise from the bar or a Christmas party going on.

United KingdomBeing critical, I would like to see more breakfast options. However, what was offered was well cooked to order.
Friendly down to earth staff. The hotel bar is a chilled place to enjoy a leisurely evening drink. Folkestone is only a ten minute bus ride away, with a bus stop right outside the hotel. Saves using the car, and allows a drink or two if dining out! Our room was quite adequate, with a super comfy superking bed. Although on a busy through route traffic was calm at night and did not disturb sleep. We will return!!

United KingdomHotel has only 7 dedicated car parking spaces which are not reservable, first-come-first-served. On-street parking is available though at rear of hotel so not a deal-breaker as far as we were concerned.
Very handy for Channel Tunnel, just 10 minute drive from terminal. Owners extremely kind, waited until 11.45pm especially for our (3 1/2 hours delayed!!) arrival . Our suite ("Castle View") was really lovely, recently refurbished, clean and very well appointed, bed very comfortable. Good "full English" breakfast.

GermanyThere is the main street at the rear front where our room was, but we were not disturbed. So, nothing to complain about.
Well situated near the beach. The room spacious and clean. The owner very friendly. We got the last parking space - and could have enjoyed a live music performance at the hall; in the room there was nothing to be heard.

FranceExpect a pub, do not be surprised when you arrive: you enter through a busy back street and into a noisy pub; but rooms at the back of the building are quiet. No 24h reception, no-one in the morning until after 8am.
Nice room, at the back of the building; but it is essentially a pub, so early risers have to come out through another entrance to which you need to ask a code; right next to a beach and a short walk to Folkestone; parking small but apparently sufficient; owners welcome their guests and make sure they have parking space etc.
