How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We enjoyed an excellent breakfast every morning, with a range of British cooked breakfast, continental, fruit and pastries. Tim, Vicky and their son were very kind. They had awesome tips for our stay in the area. We stayed at the guest house with our two kids aged 5 and 8, and they especially liked the bunk bed and the living room downstairs with lots of board games. Very well suited for families with children!

"didn't like" is too strong a word to describe this... The bathroom was a bit small, so took a bit of getting used to but was very clean and modern. The room was an odd shape (with maybe too much furniture) but again we got used to it. Both were not really major issues however.
Tim & Vicky (and son) were very friendly hosts. Very good breakfast. Very comfortable Guest house and accomodation indeed. Plenty of parking, which is one of the reasons why we chose this B&B as others were pot luck.

We loved everything!
The property was in a perfect location just a short stroll to the sea front. The included breakfast was fantastic and the perfect way to start the day. The room itself was lovely, clean and comfortable - we noted how big the bed was (Room 1) and it has made our one at home feel tiny! The owners were attentive and friendly, and more than happy to suggest things to do in the town. 10/10 would recommend and will be staying again.

Nothing to mind could be of fault. Refreshing from the larger hotels.
The owners Vicki and Tim were lovely, so welcoming and made our short stay so comfortable, the rooms were perfect, good size, very clean and exceptionally quiet, had a very good nights sleep. The breakfast was very very good and of a very high standard! A lovely guest house and a pleasant surprise with so many to choose from. We will certainly book again with Vicki and Tim when we are visiting again, thank you and good luck! Mark and Helen.
