How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewNot much at all. The view from our room was lovely, the boats in the harbour
The room smelt terrible, a mix of stale cigarette smoke and sewerage. The bathroom was mouldy. The Wi-Fi doesn't work. The lights in the bed area don't completely turn off completely, so you are sleeping in what feels like daylight. Having said that, there's not enough light in the room to work on a computer after hours, there are two wall sconces, and one bedside table lamp. The room was a VERY long walk down stairs, no lift to all level 3 rooms. It was like a rabbit warren trying to find our room.

Verified reviewGreat location! Best Eggs Benedict/hol and aide sauce ever!
Room smelly. Could be a lot cleaner in unit and outside on ground floor next to pool area. Mould in shower, bathroom windows sill appears never cleaned. No coffee, tea, sugar in container (lucky we brought our own), no coffee cups and had to seek from cafe. Barely any toilet paper for a 2 night stay and had to ask twice for more. Hotel never answers phone or returns calls.

Verified reviewOur stay was fantastic. From a lovely greeting when we arrived to the staff even helping me out with a laptop to sign some paperwork when my phone wasn't enough. The breakfast was beautiful, I recommend the omelette 😋 It has a great little bar with music, friendly service and great pizza. We will definitely be staying there again.

Verified reviewGood location and nice view over the marina.
The gym equipment is in a very poor state and half of it doesn't work at all. The gym was always locked and we were not allowed to have the code to get in. We had to contact the reception manager but the reception which was not staffed until 2pm, so we were told to ask the staff at the cafe to call the reception manager. This was a real pain.

Verified reviewA fantastic location in a secluded spot, close to waterways, walking paths, nearby shops. Out of the way but not isolated. The location made up for the basic facilities.
The room was not particularly well cleaned - surfaces were marked, there was some rubbish on the floor. The facilities in the room were basic at best - paper plates etc but proper crockery could be requested. The wifi was really patchy. There was one spare warm blanket but two beds. There was no hair dryer.
