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 KingdomAir con didnt work but might be a seasonal thing. Dustmen came very early on Sunday morning and were emptying all the bottle bins and rubbish bins for the hotel which woke us up. Why that time on a Sunday morning and not later on in the day??
Excellent Location. Superb Food and Professional Staff. Had an free upgrade of room on arrival for my wifes birthday with cake waiting for us in the room. Great touch by the staff.

Great central location, but really quiet, no noise. Lovely room - nice decor and clean. Comfy bed, proper coffee and lots of water. Had been to the restaurant previously but never stayed before but was very impressed with my room. Valet parking service was excellent too.

United KingdomFiguring out how to drive there. I placed the hotel in three different Satnav systems. One wanted to take me through Jesus College and another one wanted to take me across a pedestrian bridge.
We loved the location. It is a great location. A perfect base of operations to see the town. Close to many restaurants. The spa was incredibly nice.

United StatesFront desk could have been better: understaffed and looked like OJT going on, ie when there was a second member staffing the front desk he couldn't answer our questions. Not quite as centrally located as , say - The Hilton, but still a pretty easy walk to most of town. I like a dark room: Curtains were awful. After sunrise, you could read a book with the light the curtains let in. See pic
Room was very good overall: huge by European standards, same for bath, King bed was comfortable and the pillows were excellent (not too hard). Room even had large iMac computer, but truth be told, it was very slow, (WIFI loading on my ipad was much quicker, doesn't make much sense but thats the way it was). SIX restaurant pleasant, had nice view. The squid was tad overcooked but the tomato soup, broccoli and lamb were excellent. Breakfast was very good as well. Rooftop bar was closed but that looks like it would be great in the summer. River Bar Steakhouse had even better view of river and food was very good as well. Lamb chops were excellent.

United KingdomOnly a couple of things. Wouldn't usually even mention them, but for the price, should have been better. Our welcome information mentioned using the tablet provided to find more local information, see a more detailed list of services, food/drink available, play games etc. However, we didn't have a tablet. We did mention it and a lovely lady came to our room and was apologetic that it had mysteriously disappeared! I expected them to provide another one but it seemed to have been forgotten. My daughter was hungry on arrival and homed in on the sweets and crisps. I then noticed that they were priced at £4.95 each. I felt that after paying £360 for a 2 night, room only stay, this was a bit steep.
It was a gorgeous room. Very clean throughout. Absolutely loved having a nice big bath. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

GreeceWe had heating in the bathroom floor for 2 of the 3 days, the last day it wasn't there - reception couldn't help. Mattress a little too hard for my liking, but this is very personal. Some mold on the curtains, so maybe HK should take a look.
Nice big room. Very friendly staff. Loved the big bathtub! Amazing positioning of the hotel, in the middle of town with walking distance to everywhere. Very clean rooms.

United KingdomRooms could be cleaner and also they need a seating area in the room. Views in all rooms not so good and it’s also very noisy. We could hear people showering and going to the loo all night.
The property is ok its location is excellent. The views from Some of the rooms are not great we looked over the back of a restaurant not great. The six restaurant is lovely drink were brilliant albeit a bit pricey. Did get to use the spa facilities we were only there one night. Artwork was really Lovely and the decor was good. Staff were friendly too.
