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.).

Tony and Linda were so lovely. We felt like we were at home, the minute we arrived. They were so welcoming and kind. Linda had the perfect solution to our question ... the best way to get to Lytham Music Festival and back. By train! The station is a 2 min walk from Scala Hotel. We loved the Art Nouveau Decor. We weren't a fan of the beautiful clock in the entrance hall - through the night though! 🎧 The breakfast was fab. What a great idea to order on arrival. Everything perfectly cooked and served with a smile.

Linda & Tony were very welcoming, went above & beyond to make our stay really enjoyable. Hotel was really nice & cosy, rooms spotless & nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was amazing, due to an early start on the Sunday, Linda & Tony got up early to make sure we had breakfast before we left. Location is excellent, very quiet & also a short walk away from Blackpool’s attractions. We are already planning our next family trip & wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Would highly recommend.

Noting at all to say that we didn’t like other than sad we were only there two nights.
Best nights sleep I think I’ve ever had away from home. Linen was divine and the bed super comfortable. Had everything we could have needed and more. Loved the fridge being in the room. The location was fantastic. 2 minutes walk to the tram stop or bus stop and right beside the pleasure beach, but in such a quiet location. Very easy to find whether driving or using public transport. Loved that we had parking too. Will definitely be staying with Linda & Tony again. Such lovely welcoming hosts who couldn’t do enough for you. The breakfast was exceptional. Kept us going until our evening meal.

There was some loud music (unsure of whether this was coming from the bar or one of the other rooms) until around 11/11:30pm. This wouldn't usually have bothered me however it did disturb my sleep and meant that I was tossing and turning until it stopped.
Linda and Tony were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and really nicely decorated.
