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 KingdomToo warm. Pumping heating in the room made for an unpleasant night's sleep. Hotel itself is a bit dated . TV didn't work ( batteries in remote maybe?) Toilet was millimetres from a towel heating radiator making sitting almost impossible . Ladies beware
The receptionist was very pleasant and managed to find me a room with a sea view.

IrelandI think the room needed to be upgraded and checked for H&S as I slipped in the bath but I didn't report it. There was no hand railing to hold on the wall when trying to get into the bath to shower. The shower frame had no rubber stopper on the end and water leaked down side of Bath and onto floor. Even with all above I'd still come back and stay.
Staff was very friendly and breakfast was excellent. Bar Food was delicious. Constant hot water when required to wash hands. Some hotels only have lukewarm water.

United KingdomOn arrival we checked in was told our room was ready. Room was at front of hotel on first floor, we were not happy with room it did not look like any of the rooms on hotel website !!! Bathroom was terrible I went to reception and asked if there were any other rooms available as we were not prepared to stay in that room. We were then shown another room on same floor, and two lovely rooms on ground floor needless to say we were very happy with ground floor room.. couldn’t understand why we were given first room when these lovely rooms were available
We liked the situation of the hotel on the coast road. Lovely walk ways nice location

United KingdomCar park full of potholes. Very dated room. Our bathroom stunk of urine and the room was dusty and the curtain clips disintegrated and the curtain fell off. The receptionist apologised and organised a bathroom clean whilst we were out after I phoned to complain as we couldn’t get used to the smell.
Lovely location. Friendly staff. Very tasty soup for lunch.
