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 KingdomThat it was on the top floor so lots of stairs and had a slanted ceiling bit of a struggle for my husband who is very tall. But he stayed over the one side so not a big deal. The toilet was blocked and this was a bit inconvenient but to be fair the owner was sorting it out as soon as he was told and also offered us another room if it couldn't be sorted by the time we got back in, we didn't use the other room as all was good. We were told we would get some kind of reduction on the room for the inconvenience but this hasn't been done as yet.
The owner was very friendly and courteous couldn't do enough for you the Hotel was spotlessly clean the beds very comfy with lovely clean sheets the towels were white and fluffy. The breakfast was lovely with plenty of choices. The Hotel is based at the top end of Town so a nice little walk to Town centre, harbour and seafront I would highly recommend the Ferndale Lodge and would also return I thoroughly enjoyed the trip as did my husband and our two friends who had twin room number 1 on the ground floor and said it was a lovely room.

United KingdomThe only minor point was just the bedroom carpet could have done with a really good vacuum.
Lovely accommodation, friendly and helpful staff, room serviced daily with nice little touches, such as complimentary biscuits, shower gels and bottled water. Nice powerful shower, great choices at breakfast and good quality food. Quiet at nights for sleeping. The property has a bar service and also a kitchen that guests can use. Decent location, about 15-20 mins walk from the harbour through the town centre, but can’t complain for the price. Would happily stay here again.

United KingdomAll was good, the hotel is in a good location, but I struggled a little with my breathing going up the hill from town as I have respiratory problems. We had the smallest of the double rooms, it was adequate, fit for purpose, perhaps too small for me as my wife and I are not small people. One thing I would comment about breakfast, AND THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION, I was not overly keen on ordering my breakfast the day before (sorry Andrew 😐)
Tastefully decorated, clean, warm and cosy, we were very surprised with the breakfast menu with choices like smoked salmon and avocados, cooked breakfast was exceptional and not greasy, a good choice of cereals, yogurt, nuts, and to top it all, Hanukkah honey (never seen that in any hotel, including 5 & 6 stars), well done on this one.

United KingdomIt is situated on a very steep hill which was hard going more than once a day but that may have been mentioned on the website but I didn't see it if it did so can't really criticise as it would be my fault for not noticing
Lovely place, all that you need from a few nights away. Tasty breakfast, plenty of choice.
