Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThe facilities, while kept up and clean, were a bit old. Rather our bathroom was old. We had to step up 2 steps to get into it; which could be challenging in the dark.
The view from the outdoors area was beautiful and peaceful. The hotel was clean and in a relavtively easy location to find out in the country.

United KingdomLong review incoming!! Lovely styled hotel with original features intact. The majority of staff were very polite and professional. Large rooms with basic facilities and does have tea/coffee features in the rooms. Myself and my husband are not usually picky, however, I have given 4/5 stars (which I think generous) due to a couple of reasons. One being that upon booking we were not aware there would be an event at the same time as our booking. Apparently there are events most weekends in the year (we asked reception, so please be aware of this!) the event prohibited the use of the lounge and bar during the day and evening on Saturday. After spending all day out of the hotel we planned to come back and sit out on the terrace with a few bevvies but this was not allowed. We felt out of place and upon speaking to other guests who were not part of the event, they felt the same. We were only there for the weekend and was never told, even when checking in, there was an event running so we could plan around this. Assumed due to the event, there was no parking spaces at the hotel. Other guests parked outside of the hotel grounds and walked up the drive to the hotel (onsite parking was one of the reasons we booked for ease) Lastly, there was no bathroom blind and the window panes were clear so anyone could see in at anytime whilst showering etc. I would have scored 3/5 as There was a couple of other things that lacked and could be improved on. However, as mentioned earlier the majority of staff were absolutely lovely, the hotel location is great, the food was brilliant and prices were reasonable throughout which bumped the score up. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel for a short stay with the disclaimer that most Saturdays will be booked for events, so if you are like us and get up and go in the mornings & throughout the day but be back at the digs for the evening, it might not be the right place for you if you are only staying the weekend!

United KingdomMy room (#26) needed a good face-lift. Carpets were not very clean. Ceiling was badly cracked and looked as though it was about to fall down. Paintwork was chipped and needed a fresh coat of paint. Bathroom needed an overhaul. Shower was just a trickle and water was tepid. I saw a friend'room and bathroom which was slightly better.
The location was amazing. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe hotel is a bit dated and worn in places. My bathroom was very clean and modern but the shower in my friend’s bathroom was not good. There was very little water pressure and having a shower was almost impossible. The ceiling in her room also looked as if it was about to fall in
The staff, particularly the Greek receptionist, were extremely helpful and friendly. The location is lovely and the snack/bar meal I had was really good

United KingdomThe room furniture was very tired. We opted for breakfast on checking in. The breakfast was not good value for money unfortunately and we were very disappointed. The cooked breakfast was not hot; only just warm. The tea was pre made in a large flask and tasted awful. I would rate the hotel on the low end of three star.
