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 plumbing was quite noisy and pillows a bit too hard.
Lovely place to stay in the middle of Ashdown Forest - great location to explore the area. Friendly and efficient staff. Good choice on the menu including vegetarian dishes.

United KingdomState of the bedroom carpets - they are very worn and in need of replacement. Wrinkles could be a trip hazard for elderly guests. The cloth part of the headboard has clothes moths - needs spraying or replacing (room 206).

AustraliaThe rooms are really in need of an update as are the carpets in hallways. The stairs down to our room weren’t the best - didn’t know about stairs.
The food in the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast was terrific. The staff were all lovely and the location was perfect for us.

United Kingdomsqueaky bathroom door and taps which make it noisy at night if you need to get up
For our stay with the dog it is ideal, the room was right by the back door so made it easy to take the dog out, the bed is very comfortable which is what matters to us but the room and certainly the bathroom are a bit tired. Breakfast is good with lots of choice

FranceThe interconnecting doors between rooms. This hotel obviously caters for labourers which is fine, but their expectations are obviously different to people who are staying as holidaymakers. The first room we were given had an ‘interconnecting’ door which wasn’t a problem until the two men next door returned to their room and proceeded to make an unacceptable amount of noise (very loud, whistling etc). Thankfully the staff were superb and were able to offer us another room (without an interconnecting door), but had this not been the case my review would have been very different. In my opinion, if the hotel are offering mixed accommodation requirements (eg vacationers / labourers) the two should be kept separate. We would return, but on the proviso that the room has no interconnecting door
We lived it’s character, the staff, and the food
