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.).

IrelandBecause of its age and heritage preservation requirements floors and stairs can be uneven and care must be taken in this regard. About half of the staff did not know how to smile, even when they were helpful, and this was unsettling.
An extremely attractive historical property. It is situated directly opposite an entrance to the cathedral area in Salisbury and close to the city facilities. Staff were generally helpful,

United KingdomBreakfast wasn't particularly tasty. In a vain attempt to be healthy I opted for avocado and poached eggs on toast. The avocado had no seasoning and was sadly very bland, not tasty at all. My partner had scrambled on toast (again it seemed to lack any seasoning).
Dinner in the restaurant was excellent and staff were very attentive They dealt with the fact that 3 of our party decided not to show up with a very relaxed attitude. Looking forward to eating here again. The room we had was large and comfortable.

Lovely room, on the main road but quiet room. Beautiful old building, but room was modern and up to date. Restaurant on the ground floor was huge and nicely decorated. Good menu and great food. Breakfast was good and plenty of it. Staff were friendly.

Helpfulness of all staff we encountered - very important, as one of us is disabled and we knew in advance that there are no groundfloor bedrooms. It wasn't ideal, but we were given every possible assistance.

United KingdomI was surprised to receive a call that we needed to check in by 7.00pm as after that there would be no staff. As it happened we were a few minutes after that but there were still people around.
The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, the bathroom with its freestanding bath was a special feature. A good breakfast with particularly friendly service.

United KingdomThe shower door was very stiff and hard to open!
The building is very old and full of character. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and upgraded us to a bigger room on arrival. The steak restaurant downstairs was great and breakfast was good too. The lack of car park wasn’t a problem - we parked briefly opposite, dashed in, were given a 24 hour permit and drove a hundred yards round the corner. The Chapter House is so central - just opposite a little walkway straight to the cathedral. A truly excellent stay and we hope to come back.
