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 KingdomLead on Hairdryer not long enough as only socket by mirror was at floor level £3 cap park charge seemed a like a hidden cost or a hidden surcharge given there is no access possible other than by car. I would have preferred to have had more transparency anout this with it being included in the room cost. Perhaps a deduction could be offered for those being requiring more than one room. I acknowledge this is a minor personal niggle.but it was how I felt at the time. being asked for a paltry £3 when I thought I had paid in full!
Comprehensive Breakfast with mulitple options Very quiet location

United KingdomThe Hotel is located next to the busy A2 dual carriageway road. So, there was constant noise, although muffled when the bedroom window is closed. However, be aware that if you book, there will be this noise all the time.
Very friendly and pleasant staff who provided an excellent service. The Hotel is approx. 10 minutes drive to the city centre. Breakfast was a good range of items and all fresh and restocked. The room (double) was ample and very clean and modern with all facilities needed for a comfortable short stay. The Hotel is also conveniently next to a fuel garage should you need to get fuel. But it is expensive!

United KingdomThe only thing we did not like about the property was that the beds were to firm although that was our own fault as we chose the firm beds so no fault of the hotels.
Everything it was really reasonably priced and was very clean and welcoming. Also the free complimentary breakfast was very nice, all the food was fresh and the staff were so attentive.

United KingdomRoom layout could have been more practical - sofa bed opened onto where the cabinet for luggage is, leaving a small gap to squeeze through and which you had to get through to get to the bathroom.
Excellent, polite, friendly and helpful service from all staff from the moment we arrived. Requested a room in a quiet part of the hotel and the room was peaceful, with comfy beds and bedding. Impressed by the breakfast selection - especially being included in the price - and the way there were a lot of staff present making sure everyone had what they needed and regularly refreshing all the buffet items.

United KingdomVery little not to like, property only issue was that the electric charger wasn't working and some minor issues during booking wherein no one got back with special rates for the group but we just booked via booking.com
The best stay we had ever! we were big group of 23 people, the staff at check in and especially the chef really went out of their way to ensure we had everything we need. The food (we had dinner and breakfast) was really really good. The chef prepared additional vegetarian options given that most of the group was vegetarian. The chef even provided Indian tea for us which was beyond what we expected. The best stay we had and we enjoyed a lot.
