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 KingdomParking daily cost is ridiculous and shocking! Never paid so much for hotel parking. No robes or slippers were given to use the spa facilities. There were still children in the jacuzzi area after the child session was finished, which made our time there not so relaxing. Although it was nice to have our room cleaned during our stay, i didn't like that our personal belongings were moved and touched. Asked for a quiet room and was given a room facing the really busy and noisy main road, which made it difficult to rest as the rooms are not very soundproof.
Great location with lovely walk along the river and walking distance to lots of restaurants/shops. Room was spacious and loved the fact there was a mini fridge as many hotels I've stayed don't have this. Bar was modern and nice atmosphere. Freindly staff and the whole place was clean. Jacuzzi was also lovely and clean. Great breakfast with lots of choice.

Room was lovely, I had very loud neighbours having sex all night and morning. the walls are very thin!!! I stayed in room 214.

United KingdomThe balcony was disappointing but only because of the weather - I couldn't keep the chairs dry enough to sit out even when it was sunny. However, I made full use of the downstairs terrace and loved it. I found the high price for customer parking unusual.
I came for a break following a bereavement. I asked for a river view so I had room 155 with view and balcony. All staff and came across were friendly, helpful and efficient. I had brunch each day and inner in the restaurant - excellent food and service.

United KingdomThe spa facility is not at all as described, it’s very crowded and oldish in all perspectives, if there are 15 persons it already to much and you have to queue for the jacuzzi .
The hotel is not to bad, just very little to do in and out, they have great buffet breakfast.
