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 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):
- 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.).

- • Stayed 1 night

The room hadn’t been cleaned. There were marks all over the mirror, it was as though someone had made a cross on the mirror with a finger full of cream! The bedside table had marks all over it and the bathtub hadn’t been cleaned. My husband raised all this with the front office and we were offered another room, however that bathtub was full of pubic hair so had clearly not been cleaned either. We opted not to stay at the hotel and ended up leaving Helen! Which meant we lost out on Helen the next day as we went as far as Athens that evening!!

Bathroom could have been cleaner. Wasn't horrible though.
The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, the sheets were clean, breakfast was waffles, grits, sausage biscuits, muffins, coffee, apple juice, and orange juice. Was mostly a quiet place to stay and the location was only a few minute walk to town. Great place to stay.

I felt gross as soon as I walked into the room. It had the weirdest smell. It didn’t look like it had been cleaned at all. I’ve stayed in cheaper hotels that were nicer and cleaner than this one. If they would just take a little bit more time to clean the rooms, it wouldn’t be bad at all. You would probably get good reviews.

Bathrooms left a bit to be desired - towels tiny, toilet not flushing properly, needs a good scrub Swimming pool out of action
We were a little nervous about this stay given reviews and the fact that Helen PD pulled in as we were checking in, however we were pleasantly surprised and the place served its purpose for us - an affordable place for us to safely rest our heads for a few days exploring the area. Sure the hotel and rooms are dated and in need of some tlc, but our room seemed to have had a coat of paint and a new vanity some time in recent history. PROS: The beds were fine Water pressure okay Breakfast enough to get us started for the day Walking distance to everything we needed. Thankfully no sign at all of permanent residents.
