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...).

Room was odd layout with a locked room that apparently was a living room that could be used for a family booking We had pre ordered the dinner package but was directed to the noisy bar/bistro to have a 3 course dinner. We chose not to have the meal. The area was fine for bar food but not for a nice meal. The dining room was not open. We did receive a refund but after some discussion
Had a lot of good features, pool etc a large room, good breakfast

The windows in our room were too high up to see out of. I found this off putting. I had specifically asked for a quiet area as our son is autistic and gets overwhelmed. There were very young children in the room next door which had an adjoining internal door - not sound proofed. Our children are teens so they were woken very early by the young children. It was poorly managed by the hotel given that you have to specify age of children when booking. Keep families with teens away from families with toddlers etc.
Breakfast was fabulous - so much choice and self service. Coffee machine was really good!. Staff were lovely and very helpful. The building itself is stunning, lots of lovely areas to sit and chat. There was a sweet shop open each evening selling olde worlde sweets by weight - nice touch! We ate both nights in the restaurant and it was lovely - great menu to suit all and plenty of space for quality family time.

Lack of ice machines on each floor. One coffee machine in breakfast hall. Reception staff appeared to be annoyed if asked questions. No glass wear in rooms. No toiletries in room. Pool towels need to be replaced, too small, worn and hard. No kitchen towels. Netflix didn't work. In all the hotel was good but basics like above would enhance every stay and be a true 4 star hotel.

Very warm and could have better sound proofing between rooms. Restaurant was fine but slightly overpriced for what it was, would recommend going to the town for dinner but fine for breakfast.
Family friendly, lots of activities for kids and good location with a bus to the town right at the entrance. Breakfast was also nice with a very good selection. Tents for kids in the room is a nice optional touch as was the pool inflatable.

Not a big deal but a bit far from town centre. It is a pleasant walk, but we were lucky and the weather was lovely, might be a different story when the weather isn’t great.. would need to drive or take a taxi
As hotel, as expected for Clayton

The guests next door were rather loud and perhaps, they were unaware that sound travels through the rooms. It might be an idea to inform all guests that noise can travel and that it can disturb others.
Breakfast was amazing and had a wide selection. The pool is very good and definitely one of the reasons I booked here
