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 KingdomRun down, small, low down bed with really big furniture, a little noisy, bad see through curtains - and smelt pretty bad as soon as running water was used. Car park entry was covered in litter. £100per night plus £100 security deposit was a bit of a joke!
Location, 24hr access, nice staff, was luckily able to park on site.

United KingdomDecorations are a bit outdated with some wall paper peeling, the blinds do not block a huge amount of light and the kettle started smoking when we tried to use it - staff were very apologetic about the kettle when we informed them.
Decent room, bed was comfortable, 24 hour staffing, nice bathroom, television on an adjustable stand, mini fridge and microwave - plus tea and coffee facilities. A no frills venue in the centre of town

United KingdomI went to brush my teeth at about midnight and both my hot and cold tap were putting out hot water, this was sorted by the morning though. Room was very hot, but there was a fan provided too.
Location was great and staff were really friendly. Room also has fridge and microwave which if I was staying longer would have been very handy.

United Kingdom- the fridge is VERY loud so make sure you have earplugs - the decor is very very tired and the mismatch makes it feel very cheap and old - the room was very very hot! We were ground floor and couldn’t open the windows - the shower didn’t drain right so you were constantly stood in 2 inches of water
The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was much bigger than expected. Absolutely fine for a one night stay.

United KingdomThe bed itself is one of the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept in, and the room seemed to pick up all of the noise from the surrounding rooms which are very closely packed in on the third floor where I stayed and wasn't ideal with people making lots of noise at 5am when I had a 7am train.
This was a little cheaper than some of the other options in the area and I got what I paid for.
