Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomMy only criticism was that my external private bathroom (as stated situated just across from my room) seemed to get used by other people in the B&B who had shared facilities. Maybe they didn’t realise or ignored the signs but this was a shame.
Really lovely B&B with nicely decorated rooms & spotlessly clean. I appreciated having access to a shared living room & little breakfast room also with complimentary snacks & all the tea/ coffee you could wish for! I paid for a private bathroom across the hall from my room which again was very clean & equipped with a good shower. Check in was smooth & accessed via instructions left. Location was close to train/ bus station & ideal for the theatre where I was working. Local amenities also on doorstep plus a lovely park area over the road.

United KingdomThe double bed was a little bit small for us as we aren’t exactly small people. It could be better maybe if it was a bigger bed.
The Annex was well equipped. It was like a studio apartment! The staff were very friendly and willing to offer help when needed. The location is amazing, right by the park, the shops and the bus station! We were only there for one night, but it was a great night! We will be back!

United KingdomTo have paper towels in the toilet would have been hygienic. Otherwise one had to take a towel from one's bedroom in order to dry hands after washing them after using the toilet. I may be wrong, but I think the knob on the shower may be on the opposite side if one is facing it standing outside the shower to what the notice said. The duvet on the bed was too hot so I had to use a blanket instead. It was good that these were provided but maybe a top sheet would be helpful in very hot conditions. It might be better for ground floor rooms if the window was open at the top rather than the bottom for security reasons but having a window open is good especially in hot weather. Hopefully a guest who didn't want it open would be able to close it.
There was no breakfast but there was a kettle, cup and saucer, biscuits, milk, tea and coffee and drinking water and glass in the room. There was a TV which was easy to operate and which worked. The central location allowed me to walk to the railway station the next day. The instructions were clear and straightforward to follow. The staff gave me several taxi numbers on request which was helpful. They responded to my queries promptly. They also provided their contact numbers to ring if I needed help. I didn't give them the highest rating just because they weren't there in person but knowing someone was available if necessary was reassuring.
