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 is nothing I didn’t like
Loved everything! Traditional building from the front and super modern at the back and inside. Everything was amazingly clean and tidy, not a spec of dust. Coffee machine in the room, cookies, tea selection, huge bed with nice thick pillows. Even better a full wet room en-suite and a stand-alone bath in our room. Breakfast in the restaurant with a server and plenty of options from cereals, full breakfast to eggs Benedict Can’t wait to go back!

United KingdomTraditional historic frontage so thought the interior would have a more traditional olde worlde atmosphere. Instead the interior was the complete opposite - very modern with no trace of the buildings history. This is not necessarily a criticism as it was very nicely done, just rather unexpected.
Great location. Easy parking. Excellent breakfast and dinner. Pleasant friendly staff. Room comfortable and spotlessly clean.

United KingdomRoom for over 160 had a merky smell from the bathroom a mirror in the way of the television and we found several crisp trails from the prior occupied and labels from clothes. For five star price there shouldn't be scraps to that degree left.
The overall building is nice and esthetically pleasing inside and out main reception area leading to restaurant looks lovely.

United KingdomUnfortunately the stay was somewhat let down by breakfast. We entered the dining room to a scene of chaos. The tables had not been cleared or reset and we had to sit at an uncleared table for a while. The the serve yourself section had milk and cold meats containers that were empty. Clearly a case of staff shortages, but an unfortunate end to our stay..
The hotel, rooms, food and staff were all excellent and very good value for the standard of the whole experience..
