Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Helpful staff assisted...thanks No cooked breakfast on Monday morning, had to search for that fact on the booking site, found it in the feedback comments. I would have still booked it, but from Monday/Tuesday instead.. Despite these small comments the Hotel was central, welcoming and made for a fabulous stay. Thank You "team George"

United KingdomRadiator not working in room and a plug that fits the plug sockets in the room for the kettle.
Unfortunately the radiator didn't work, so we needed to put a small fan heater on and the plug on the kettle in our room was a two pin plug??

United KingdomNo cooked breakfast on Mondays as no chef. We should have been made aware of this before we booked. Shower had little power.
Location, spacious room. Free parking. Lovely outdoor area. Pleasant, helpful staff. Good breakfast. It was much nicer when, on the last morning, a table was set up ready for us in the bar area (we had to eat here instead of the dining room as we had the dog with us).

United KingdomThe rooms are a bit dated and could do with a freshen up. It would be brilliant if the restaurant served food on week nights too.
The staff are really friendly and the rooms are clean. They are also pet friendly which is great when I’m travelling with my dog. Breakfast was a particular highlight- would definitely recommend!

United KingdomThe bathroom is a bit of a challenge with no standing shower or shower courtain. We stayed during heatwave so it got a bit warm in the room but luckily window fully open. There is an external fan that I wouldn’t turn on as it was super dirty and dusty.
The rooms very tidy yet very basic. Beds are quite on a the small side but functional. The building has its charm, staff were very friendly. Central location is great and free parking is a bonus!
