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.).

SpainAs it was off session had to wait for a while for dinner, about 45 minutes after ordering and not up to standard but again it was out of season and chef has probably been in holiday before high season
lovely place to stay, clean, comfortable and staff were very friendly. Enjoyed reading the little history about the hotel that is in the reception area and the old furnishings that i am glad to hear that are getting restored. Beautiful hotel.

United KingdomAs mentioned above the dinner menu, from my perspective, needs to be enlarged to give greater selection especially if the stay was more than a few days in which case would look elsewhere for the evening meal.
Room was very comfortable and clean with all facilities in good working order. Good selection of cereals, fruit etc. was available at breakfast and menu was adequate. Toaster performance was very poor with bread hardly browning at all. Dinner table service was very good but many of the items on the menu tended to have an eastern emphasis which was not really to our taste and consequently we had to have the same meal the following evening.

United KingdomBit disappointed with the size of the room and I think our breakfast was made then forgotten about as other people who came in after us were served first, resulting in very overcooked poached eggs on soggy toast. We were so looking forward to our stay but came away a bit under whelmed.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a good location. Plenty of parking.

SpainFood was a bit disappointing. The selection of plates was though good. Fish was overcooked and not fresh fish from Scotland. The price and the quality of the steak did not meet, the steak was not eatable.
Breakfast included a good selection of warm food, but the cooking skills need to be improved.
