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 KingdomInitially put off by outside appearance and the noisy bar in the front. But the room was pleasant and had a bath which we prefer although the shower over the bath was also good. Plenty of power points but had to move the kettle to bedside table in order to reach power point. Could be a safety hazard. Certainly needs some redecoration and modernisation but perfectly comfortable for a one night stay. Near to several restaurants.
The host was exceptional friendly and obliging. We accidentally left my husband's walking stick behind and when I contacted them about it he immediately said he would put it in the post next day. The room was clean and comfortable. Well equipped with what we needed.

United Kingdom1 window could not be shut properly, so would advise to get this fixed. Only other thing could hear everything from rooms next door & they didn't respect that other people were staying there. Not sure of anyway to putting a bit of sound proofing in.
Perfect central location for city centre. Room was bright & clean.

United KingdomThe cooked breakfast was disappointing with some elements overcooked. The potato scone was burnt and shouldn't have been served. Cereals, fruit juice and toast was available. Good value for money.
The room was spacious, clean and warm. The bar was full of character.

United KingdomThe bed and the fact that the window didn't close properly once opened
The room was fantastic as it was quite a large room(a family room). It was very clean, and it had tea making facilities with lovely biscuits. However, the double bed was uncomfortable and the window didn't close properly once opened, so although we were at the top of the building, we could hear the cars going by on the cobbled street. The breakfast was lovely

United KingdomI couldn't get to a plug socket near a mirror to do my hair. And the windows seemed to be locked on the vent so I couldn't close them properly, which made it a bit noisy at night/morning because of the town centre location. Personally I didn't really mind, as the main point of my stay was this central location.
Very comfortable, nicely decorated, loved the Little touches in the room, it had everything I needed plus complimentary stuff 🙂
