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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Bedroom noise, we were in room 9, next to the bar and above the restaurant/club. There was an amount of noise in the evening, not horrendous, but very noticeable , up until about 1130pm on the Friday night. Less noise on the Saturday.
We booked an executive room, which was quite large, well furnished with a, huge, very comfortable bed. The bathroom was large and contained a super shower, although it had a high step to get into. The breakfast was extra and was ok for the price, however on the Sunday morning the cooked breakfast was from a buffet as opposed to freshly cooked the previous day. Great location, only about 10\15 walk minutes to get to furthest part of the town. Staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

ON Saturday we had to wait 30 minutes as the staff were not ready, there was little choice, and the coffee was lukewarm had to be sent back. When there is a block booking of delegates for a conference breakfast needs to be on time especially when the conference starts at 9am.
The room was clean and comfortable but slightly cold. Breakfast on the Friday was good - buffet, but the weekend breakfasts were a disaster. Location of the hotel was ideal as one could walk to all parts of the town easily.

There was very little not to like, however a small pointer for housekeeping would be to check that soap dispensers work/pump out soap once refilled and shower heads turned down in order not to soak the floor/guest when turned on. I would have liked Wi-Fi, but not the end of the world!
The warmest of welcomes greeted me at The Studley Hotel. Very professional and helpful. The front desk creates the first impression and this experience was excellent.

Although we had a kettle (and a little kitchenette.. very nice) there was no tea or coffee provided. This is most unusual for a hotel so we could not have a cup of tea in the morning without going out. They should provide a basic tray of tea, coffee, sugar etc. There was milk in the fridge.. not sure what that was for!
parking on site good however we have a hybrid car and although we plugged in it did not charge so to pay £12.00 was a bit much! apparently you have to download some app to use the charger which is ridiculous.
