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 KingdomBreakfast wasn't offered as an option on the date we stayed, so bed only. However we knew this but £100 a night seemed excessive for what we got. No one there when we arrived, tried to ring owner. When they arrived we were given door key and they left. Stair carpet was dirty. No additional toilet rolls in room and hardly anything left on existing roll. Another guest asked how to contact owner as they had no towels in their room! Taps on handbasin worryingly wobbly. Lights around bathroom mirror not working. Shower dirty. Big stain on carpet, it seemed damp. The night we stayed they seemed to have a party until after midnight. On the plus side the bed was really comfortable and this is a good location. I believe this property is now sold stc so maybe the owners weren't too bothered as previous reviews have been pretty good?
Location was good, near enough to town and far enough away to be quiet if you don't want noise. Comfortable bed.

United KingdomUnfortunately things like the WiFi not being switched on, the room lacking some amenities (one spoon for two people and the spoon itself was grim), and the mattress where you could feel every spring was a turn off. Felt like we paid too much in the off season for this, and no breakfast too.
The location was great and the street parking was easy to manage. The host allowed us late check in.

United Kingdom-Mattress was really lumpy which made it difficult to get comfortable-not impossible, just tricky -No info in room on what to do if you need assistance -The radiator never seemed to get warm after being turned up -Shower was so hot the first time I tried it out that I couldn’t use it properly-think the temperature knob seems a bit temperamental-maybe stiff or something? (but as above seemed ok the next two nights, temperature knob might need looking at though) -Switch for bedside light quite difficult to get to from the bed -Loose sink tap -Shower head kept dripping after being turned off - although I just put it on the floor of the shower so it didn’t keep me awake, so no biggie (but it does mean water will be getting wasted!) -Carpet quite stained which made it look quite dirty -No towel rail -The TV was a bit a wee
-Really beautiful decor/furniture in the room and hallways -Pillows were really comfy -Duvet was lovely and cozy -Shower was great once you got it to a comfortable temperature (see below) -Fairly quiet -Owner was friendly (and I was greeted by her doggies :D ) -Very laid-back feel - no rules about having hot food in the room or any of that kind of thing, and late check-out time

I think it was a miss understanding between staff. Bit annoying .. we had the family room, but please note it was at the top of the house! X2 staircases Don’t take to much.. stuff!!

Great location just by the beach. Close to the restaurants and places to go out. Room looked beautiful and had a sea view. Bed comfy.
