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 KingdomBar is quite overpriced, £18 for two drinks. Our breakfast service wasn’t amazing as she mixed up the order but food was still very good. The bathroom floor could’ve been a little cleaner but overall had a lovely stay!
The room was lovely and spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful, arranging taxis for us and always at the end of the phone if needed. Even bought our justeat delivery up to our room as we missed the driver.

United KingdomThe on road parking situation is annoying. Parking was very limited so we had to walk quite a way with lots of bags and a small child in tow. We were then in a separate building which wasn’t a problem as it didn’t rain but wouldn’t have been ideal if the weather hadn’t been on side. There was quite a sense of works being done on the hotel and in the area so overall I feel it was an expensive stay.
Our room was absolutely beautiful and the dining room area was lovely too. Good breakfast and all staff we came across were lovely. It’s a good location for the seafront without being on one of the horrible main roads through southsea.

United KingdomParking is always a problem but you just need to be patient!
Although we feel this accommodation is slightly overpriced for what you get in the way of size of room, lack of fridge for milk or water and the properties are older buildings, they have been refurbished to a high standard and the staff are always excellent.

United KingdomI was surprised to find that the hotel is spread over two buildings separated by a road. The receptionist was great in that she waited outside of reception, for my return from extracting my luggage from my car, but then started to walk down the road and round the corner to the other building. I wondered where on earth we were going as I did not recall this in the information at the time of booking. However, as we had not booked breakfast, it really did not matter to us and the room we were allocated met our needs perfectly.
Reception staff were very efficient, polite and helpful. Room was stylish and lovely and clean. Bathroom was modern and fully functional. It appears a well run and quiet hotel.

United StatesAlmost got locked in the shower. The little knob on inside of door could not be gripped with wet hands. Door opened inward in a frame so couldnt open from side or top. Finally managed from the bottom. A bit scary. Borderline rudeness from morning desk staff when told them about it. No concern at all! Apparently I am the only one who ever had a problem.
Bed was so comfortable! Quiet. Cute room

United KingdomCan't think of anything we didn't like. The main shopping street in Southsea was a bit depressing with of a preponderance of tattoo parlours, barbers and low end junk shops.
Well situated in a quiet street close to the esplanade. Hotel provided us with a parking permit. Hotel is composed of individual adjacent buildings. We had in a room in the building next door to the reception building and had breakfast in our building. Modern largely tasteful decor with occasion patches of quite striking wallpaper. Our 'executive kingsize' - (or somesuch designation) bedroom and bathroom were all comfortable and good. Breakfast provided a good choice. We had our evening meal in the 'Briny' restaurant along the esplanade and thought that a good choice.
