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 KingdomThere was an extremely bright green light above the bedroom door in both bedrooms. It kept all of us awake all night. Also the bedroom was very hot
The view from the room was amazing, the bed was comfortable and we had a lot of space, the staff had bumped us up to a suite free of charge as I had asked for interconnecting rooms for our children

United KingdomThe staff in the breakfast room were rude and made it unpleasant to be there . They were rude to all customers who came in 15 mi a before breakfast ended. We were there in plenty of time but to witness this amount of rudeness made us leave a day early
The breakfast was awful . I had to fight to get a vegetarian alternative and was served burned vegetable sausages. Some paid for two vegetarian breakfasts and all we could have was juice and toast

United KingdomThe heat in room was unbearable…17th of may so not mid summer heat!! Maybe put bars over windows so windows can be opened fully if it’s a hot room which I’m guessing with the fan already being in room it’s an on going problem!…In the warmer months anyway! Windows have security locks so can not open very much due to being on the top floor!
I would give more stars but the room was soooo hot, unbearable hot!! 17th of May so not mid summer heat, windows open as much as we could due to security locks and a fan was supplied in room already so I’m guessing it’s a regular problem room 403 we stayed in, because of this I’d worry booking again, we got in at 2am and left at 6;30am as couldn’t take it, we went for a few drinks and would have loved a lay in with no children so was disappointed but otherwise can not complain, good sized room, clean, kettle with tea and coffee supplied with spares down stairs by reception.

United KingdomBooking in at reception took a long time. The lift for the guests to use was not working on either Saturday or Sunday. We were not offered help with our luggage to the third floor. The staff lift was made available but it was very small, with two doors that were difficult to manage while also carrying suitcases. The black, metal inner lift door was very heavy and difficult to manoeuvre while entering & exiting the lift. The staff area to gain access to the staff lift was dirty and full of rubbish. There was no help from the staff. Our room faced SW so it had a good deal of sunshine but no ventilation or air-conditioning, which on the first hot day of the year 23C -25c was unbearable. AND the radiator was on in the bathroom. We made numerous attempts to contact reception but they never responded.
Great location. Breakfast was very good with a range of choices for cooked and continental breakfasts.

United KingdomNo sockets near the beds. No room refresh during staff, although we did get one in the end. Apparently you have to go to reception and ask for towels and toilet roll but there was no sign to say this. No mention that there would be very loud music from the bandstand opposite nearly every night. Room windows were old and rotting compounding the noise problem. The lift broke down for 3 days and there were no signs on each floor to say this.we were told to use the staff lift and then some rude member of staff stuck a sign on the door saying staff only. The next day we were told the water was going off 10:00 till 16:00
Nice large room, great sea view. Big bathroom. Some of the staff were friendly. This is a budget Brittania hotel, despite it's appearance and I think most seasoned travellers have a Britannia story
