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 reviewWe liked the room, it was large, very comfortable and modern. Exelant bathroom!
The level of service was highly disappointing. During dinner, the waitress accidentally spilled beer on us, and breakfast the following morning was a complete failure. At 8:00 am, the cook informed us that he did not have the key to the kitchen and therefore no breakfast could be served at that time. We were asked to wait until the issue was resolved, and only at 10:00 am were we provided with a very limited meal (an omelette, tea, and bread with jam). The cook served everything without any assistance, and by the time it was finally ready, the overall experience was entirely unsatisfactory."

Verified reviewThe cleanliness of the place, the wonderful staff made it feel like home for us. Good food and beautiful views. I can't commend the staff enough. They are indeed the realest.
I was a bit disappointed that there's no table fridge in the room, not after paying that amount. My kids are selected eaters so we had to go there with some food hoping they would be kept in the fridge but got disappointed. Although the staff offered to keep them for us in their fridge at the kitchen. It doesn't feel so comfortable asking every day. I really hope they would consider putting a fridge up in each room. Coupled with the fact that the weather was so hot. We couldn't refrigerate our drink and water.

Room was slightly small for the 4 of us but would be massive for 2.

Verified reviewThis great pub is in a lovely village. The room was cleam and pleasant, the staff friendly and both the evening meal and breakfast delicious. My friend and I were walking a stretch of the coastal path and found it a perfect stop over. Don't miss a visit to the church - fascinating!

Verified reviewVery comfortable well equipped bedroom. Lovely beer garden with great views. Friendly staff. Good food choices for dinner.
Lack of food choices at breakfast despite being asked to pre order the night before - 2 of the pre ordered items were not available at breakfast so this was disappointing.

Verified reviewNicely decorated room. Newly fitted & clean shower room. Good bed mattress & pillows. Good (if limited) evening food and extensive wine list. Good cooked breakfast.
Room was very small and hot (avoid room 4!). Duvet too thick (not summer weight). Only a small window to open which was ineffective, so not a good night’s sleep. Evening food menu was much reduced compared to the on line sample, which was disappointing, although the food was very good. “Continental “ breakfast was cereal, blueberries and yoghurt. No pastries. Disappointing. Cooked breakfast (pre-ordered the night before) was good. Evening staff were not overly friendly, could try harder! Overall an overpriced and slightly disappointing stay.
