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 StatesHard to fault really, though it looked like parking (if I'd come in a car) might have been tricky.
Comfy room, great bed and very toasty (warm). I paid extra for a room with a view of the Clifton Bridge. It did have that, but the limited perspective wasn't quite what I imagined. Lovely hotel bar, but small and quickly filled. View from the breakfast room is, erm, gorgeous! Well positioned for visiting Clifton Village.

United KingdomInconsistent use of the name of the restaurant and "bistro" without the name, so that it wasn't clear on first arriving that the named restaurant is actually the bistro - but obviously that was soon understood as there is only one restaurant/bistro.
Lovely staff, comfortable bed, air con, "very good breakfast" was very good, availability of parking - it was all very easy and pleasant. The location is great although we chose it for its proximity to family rather than the view etc.

United KingdomThe room lighting could be a bit brighter, the full-length mirror is tucked away in a dark corner and the bathroom mirror is a bit too high. I’m of average height, but could only just see all of my face. The toilet roll holder kept coming apart and the roll almost slipping off. It could also be better placed a bit further forward on the wall.
The room was lovely, clean and spacious. In spite of being on the road side of the hotel, it was incredibly quiet. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating - nothing was too much trouble. They also were very accommodating with our dog. The food and service in the restaurant was excellent. The location is fantastic - within walking distance of shops, restaurants, the gorge and the suspension bridge.

Spacious room, very nice decor. Clean. The usual complimentary tea, coffee and water - plus biscuits. Bathroom shower was also spacious. Room has black out curtains. Quiet.

United KingdomPub bar near
Breakfast was freshly cooked which was nice. The bar area had a lovely view of the suspension bridge and the staff were friendly. Poor organisation to get a drink in the pub area. Ordering drinks in the centre of the bar, then having to move left to the end of the bar to pay then to the end of the bar on the right to pick up your drinks…., shambolic!
