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 KingdomThe noise in our room as noted above - a 'humming' noise / sound. Not loud or banging, not music, etc. But as noted, if you are a light sleeper it's certainly loud enough to disrupt your sleep.
Our stay (mini break with my young son) was almost perfect! Staff, accommodation, food were all amazing. My son was so impressed with our waitress when she asked if he would like to try a drink before ordering it with dinner. And his questions about mixing food was so well received by him!! Nothing was a bother for the staff who were super chatty and friendly to my 12 year old son. Dinner was great, I would recommend their current Hake dish. As was breakfast. I booked a double room, we were allocated a family room which was spotlessly clean, and very spacious. Decor lovely. And here is the only one reason the stay was not perfect. Our room had a constant low droning noise that made you feel like you were sleeping in a engine room (I've never slept in one ;-) ). If you are not a light sleeper, this wouldn't bother you. But I am. I called down to reception and was informed the noise came from fans in the kitchen that seemed to come up through the walls. This sound eventually stopped at 12.15 (after midnight) and started up again shortly before 6am. The staff member was nice but as the hotel was fully booked, we couldn't move room. So, I would recommend staying but not in room 11 if you want a sound sleep and you are a light sleeper. Perfect otherwise.

United KingdomThe hotel was extremely easy to find, visible from the main road and had a large carpark. The staff were extremely helpful and the restaurant was very good. The selection and quantity offered for breakfast were superb so much so that many seemed to call in from the surrounding area.

United StatesFixtures, furnishing and paint work all need a little upgrade. The room was very noise true to being roadside (room 5) and was very hot. Supplying a fan in the room would have been quieter than having to open the window for air to cool the room.
Very friendly staff and a nice accommodating welcome upon arrival. Cooked English Breakfast was outstanding.
