Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

FranceMuch to not like - the reception desk is simply a hole in the wall to the bar / restaurant that is on the other side of the ground floor. For breakfast you have to leave the hotel part to walk into the dining room - truly bizarre. Breakfast, really basic and not very interesting (also the breakfast items are kind of everywhere and difficult to find). Overall quality of the hotel is poor (fixings, walls, damage, floors that don't feel level). The dining room is pretty tacky with a sense of silver spray paint on certain objects and garish pink lights behind paintings and wall decorations - just poor style, in my opinion. Shiny and brash does not equal better. Finally, I found myself on a lightly blood soaked pillow case the next morning, something I'm pretty sure I had not caused (the next morning there was ZERO evidence of a cut or bleeding from my face) so the blood stain was already there on the other side of the pillow and during the night I had turned the pillow over to reveal it.
The room was relatively clean, and the Wifi worked relatively well. Very central and they can reduce the public car park price.

GibraltarEverything was AWFUL! This is one of the scruffiest hotels I have never stayed in. The entrance is a tatty and tacky single door that reminded me of the old London Soho doors of old. Reception is a hole in the wall into the cafe next door and the waiter doubles up as a receptionist. From the front door is a really steep multi stepped staircase just right for those of us with heavy luggage and bad backs. Once we dragged ourselves up to the room .... one look at the unappetising decor and odour of decay, was enough to send us scuttling straight back down again to complain and try to cancel. No way Jose! No joy here. Reception just kept repeating we have your card details and "you must pay" ... you must pay! We called Booking.Co who put us on hold on and off for 45 minutes and were about as useful as a peashooter at Pearl Harbour. Even though it was night time already, we went off to the teashop across the road for a desperate trawl through last minute options, followed by an angry receptionist who i felt sure was going to Ny Deck me at any moment. Any room had to be better than that dump! And who knows what we might of caught. Lucky escape me thinks. BE WARNED!
