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 reviewIt was very clean and very central to amenities
Parking was very tight
Thank you for your great review. We’re so pleased you found everything very clean and central. Our onsite parking bays are designed for standard-sized cars, so larger vehicles can feel tight. When guests arrive with bigger cars, we’re happy to direct them to nearby pay and display car parks that have larger bays, all just a short walk away. Hope to welcome you back soon! Xx

Verified reviewThe hotel staff couldn’t do enough for you. They even bought a little fridge for us to put our drinks in. Our room was lovely and clean, on the top floor. It was a really hot few days while we were there so our room was pretty warm but a fan was available to use which was a lifesaver. Can’t complain about anything to be honest.
The road the hotel was on was fine but, as you got closer to the winter gardens there were a few people (clearly drug users) smoking dope sat in door ways. Some were even sleeping there. It was uncomfortable walking past them.
“Thank you so much for your wonderful review and your kind words about our staff and facilities. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We’d just like to reassure future guests that the comment about people outside refers to the wider area and not to the hotel itself. Unfortunately, this is outside our control, but within the hotel we work hard to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment.

Verified reviewLovely owners, delicious breakfast (and catered so well for us as vegans!), cute vibe, comfy bed, lots of extras I.e. slippers, sweets, great location, very clean. A gorgeous b&b experience!
Only one thing, the shower was quite weak. But with everything else I’d still really recommend staying here.

Verified reviewReally enjoyed our stay at Raffles. Me, my husband, daughter and son in law stayed for 2 nights. The hotel was spotless and so were our rooms. The hosts Janine and Tim were very welcoming and polite. Breakfast was a full English including cereal, fruit, pastries, tea, coffee, toast, preserves couldn't ask for more so much to choose from really set you up for the day, was also asked if had any food intolerances plus catered for vegans. The hotel is in a good location just a short walk into town, Blackpool tower and winter gardens. The added little touches to the rooms made it really special everything you needed and more. Would stay at Raffles again and would really recommend the place to anyone visiting Blackpool. Thank you Janine and Tim for a lovely short stay ☺️ x
