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 KingdomMy room was too hot The ceiling lights flickered on low I chose not to report this as I was so at home in the public rooms
I had no car but I had a glorious morning walk down to boats and buses and took a taxi back at 5 I was happy to stay in as dinner and service was excellent Sliwing down and watching go the lake to appear and disappear had a meditative effect

Comfortable stay with a sleep-inducing bed and powerful shower. Good standard B&B. All members of the hotel team were friendly and keen to help including putting our preferred tea in the room. The homemade shortbread was also lovely!

MaltaSurrounding gardens and landscape needs more regular maintenance and upkeep. However, hotel staff mentioned that renovation works for this area in the pipeline.
Staff are so welcoming and are the absolute best. Location is excellent. Few minutes away from town centre and other neighboring areas. The rooms very spacious and clean. Breakfast was lovely.

The property itself was exceptional. From the decor right through to the food. The tranquility of the gardens along with the local wildlife is absolutely incredible. What makes it even better is that the host love to hear what you have seen whilst out and about.

Conveniently located with where I was going. What stood out was the friendliness of the staff and how the communication has been great from the moment I made an enquiry and was well-reflected throughout my stay. Well-equipped facilities, room was clean and bed was comfortable and overall temp control was good and food and drinks were great too, especially enjoyed the range of teas and coffees served in the room. Thoroughly enjoyed my NYE meal I booked with them! Good recommendations for things to do locally and everyone was more than happy to help with any queries. Overall a very pleasant place to stay and will definitely come again when I visit the Lakes next.

IndiaThe location is a bit away from the nearest town which is Bowness on Windermere. On a sunny day it is fine but otherwise you won't be able to walk to and fro. You need a taxi to ferry you up and down which can cost 4 to 5 pounds one way.
Warm, cozy, homely atmosphere. Very courteous staff, good food, beautiful rooms. Fabulous surroundings and view of lake Windermere.
