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.).

AustraliaThere were some stairs up to our rooms. Fortunately a staff member helped with our large cases.
Excellent location near the Isle of Wight ferry terminal. The room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was good value for money.

United KingdomStayed before and the room had a bath which we both liked No bath this time which was a little disappointing Need to request room with a bath next time if available
Stayed here a couple of times before and Like to stay here while in Portsmouth Lovely old hotel and nicely renovated The dining room is unusually attractive displaying some of the history of the hotels grandeur Great position right opposite the Spinaker and the bus and railway station Additional benefit is the nearby private parking area for hotel residents Great food both at night and an exceptional breakfast Would definitely stay again next time we are in Portsmouth

United KingdomThe bedroom was smaller than expected, and the furniture and fittings were ‘tired’. There was only room for one bedside table, no bedside lamp, but a small wall light which was set too far forward to give light onto a book when in bed. The bathroom was spacious, new and clean, but no where to hang a wash bag or clothes. The shower was only just a shower due to poor pressure. A towel rail would be a bonus. The radiator was too small for 2 hand and 2 bath towels, so had clean towels each day.
Location was great as we were going to the Historic Dock Yard. Breakfast was average. Cooked to order eggs which was good. Yogurts good, fresh fruit available. DIY toast. Enjoyed a Japanese dinner one night. Most enjoyable, and cooked to order and served beautifully. Excellent service from the staff in reception and at the bar. Enjoyed reading the plaques and history of the hotel. Asked for a quiet room and we experience no noise,, so grateful for that.

United KingdomFantastic location. We parked our car in the compact carpark for the duration of our stay and was included in the price. Large room overlooking a public carpark. The large bathroom appears to be recently done but could do with more shelving and holders, Bedsheets didn't fit the bed! The twin beds were pushed together and there is only one bed side table. Tiny TV. Great breakfast in a lovely setting with sufficient variety offered. Staff are friendly work hard.

United KingdomThe building is old and there are steep steps up to the door. The room was basic and the furniture old. However, the bathroom was modern and everything was clean.
The location was excellent as we intended to visit the Mary Rose exhibition, which was just over the road. Gunwharf Quays shopping and restaurant complex was five minutes walk away too. The downstairs was nicely decorated and well maintained. A small but free hotel carpark was a short way from the hotel. Food in the restaurant was excellent and offered both a European and Asian menu.

NetherlandsOur room, number 4 didn't have a view of the surrounding area. It's about a 25 minute walk to the city center of Portsmouth
Location is great, just across the Historic Dockyard of Portsmouth. Breakfast was good and the breakfast hall was beautiful. The staff was very friendly. When we arrived they booked us on a room with only 2 beds but after seeing that we were with 3 people, they quickly rebooked us to another room. Private parking was very good

United KingdomThe pillows were a bit uncomfortable. The water pressure in the shower was very low. We had hoped to have the Japanese menu but it was the chef's night off and the English food was not very good.
The staff were helpful and friendly. The lift was new and efficient. The room was a good size and had a view of the harbour. There was a large TV.

United KingdomThe coffee isn't great and the bed in room (single) was very hard (... Beyond a " firm mattress" into something less hospitable). This didn't detract from the overall good impression though.
Location was great. Very friendly welcome and also the service at breakfast was great (as was my amazing breakfast sandwich). Very spacious single room with excellent shower.
