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 KingdomNeed to be aware of the steep steps up to the property from the pavement. I wouldn’t even have thought of it had I not injured my knee, but that finished it off!
Unfortunately I had injured my knee, so I was kindly offered an upgrade so I could have a room on the ground floor.

United StatesNo issue with sports view but 3rd party listing made it sound like parking was automatic. Spots for free were limited but we were able to use free parking all 3 days and if we needed there is public parking literally next door
Room was very clean and everything good. Staff very responsive. Had a situation after returning home where we could not find a document we needed. I emailed them twice the day after I stay and response to both less then an hour. We did find it but I appreciated the quick response time. Overall would stay here again.

United KingdomThe building is old so a lift cannot be installed. It is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Even a ground floor room has to be accessed by a flight of outside stone steps from the pavement to the entrance door.
The room was very clean and had all the basic things such as a working TV and refreshments tray. It was checked every day. The guest house is close to town, near a bus stop and a small grocery store.

Everything in the room was exactly as you would expect and there was a good choice of lighting. They provided three mugs for three people and lots of tea and coffee, no portion control, which was good.

United KingdomNothing explicitly. Limited interaction with the staff but that was nice as with our own key, it felt more like a private flat than a 'hotel'. (This is more of a compliment than a criticism).
Incredible location, just a short stroll into the centre. Easy enough to check in, with clear communication to the owner prior arrival. The room while small achieved all our needs for the duration (weekend). We would happily recommend this place to anyone considering it.

United KingdomIt was clean and had all that you could need. Beds not super luxurious but we weren't expecting that to be the case. They were totally adequate and no complaints at all, slept well. Loved that you could open the windows as this is not always the case for hotels but such an important thing to be able to do. The bathroom was sparkling clean as was towels and beds. Wardrobe had lots of space and hangers. Lots of tea and coffee supplied. And only a 12/13 minute walk into town. AND parking which is excellent. Thank you for a good stay!

United KingdomThe property is on the main road, with continuous traffic, which could be heard the whole time. Although the noise was not so intrusive that it made TV watching unenjoyable, or stopped us from sleeping after a couple glasses of wine. As it was winter we kept the windows closed all the time. I asked about rooms at the back, but was told they were fully booked.
location, 10 mins walk to the center. The room was clean and shower was ok. Parking is available if you arrive in good time.

United KingdomThe radiator in my room at the top of the house did not appear to work but the rest of the building was warm and the heat rose to my room. It would however have been good to feel the direct heat of the radiator.
The guest house is in a good location, about 15 minutes walk from the city centre on a frequent bus route. It is quiet, well insulated from traffic noise. The rooms are comfortable and welcoming. They are as shown on the website.
