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 KingdomOverpriced for the room. No fridge in room. The one thing I really did not like was that noone supervised the spa/swimming pool. Changing rooms were full and at times not clean. Swimming pool was so crowded, could not swim, children as young as 5 were in the sauna, steam room and hot tub, children running wild and not supervised by parents. Trying to relax in the 60* sauna with children present is impossible. I'm sure these facilities are for 16 and above?! They are in any other spa I have been in. Also really didn't like that boys as old as 10 and 13 and as tall as me were in the female changing room with while I was in there with my 8 year old daughter. Completely inappropriate, my daughter would not change while they were in there. The spa and pool definitely need to be managed better.
Excellent service, friendly staff, clean room, good breakfast choice.

Pool - excellent Room and location good I would have liked an entrance at the front for this without a car so wouldn’t have had to walk through the car park and around the whole building to access. I guess it was car friendly but I didn’t have a car.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything I didn’t like. There was a mix up with the rooms when we arrived, mistakes happen though and we were given free drinks. The air con didn’t work on our room, unless it was me not be able to work it, but we did have a large fan which did the job. The fridge didn’t work either, that would have been handy as it was so hot, but again it wasn’t the end of the world. Overall we enjoyed very much.
Brilliant location, the bar / restaurant area was lovely and the breakfast was fantastic! What a lovely selection if food to cater all. The pool was a huge hit with my children and our room was a good size and comfortable.
