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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThe food was the let down on our trip as described in previous section.
Staff location accommodation and facilities were really good. The staff were exceptional. We did have a bit of a let down with our order of prosecco and sweet plate as it was left in a very warm room no ice bucket and the sweet plate was melting..but the staff were quick to bring an ice bucket and refund the cost of sweet plate so very good. Dinner was a disaster , tough inedible steak and salmon..we sent the steak back and was replaced by salmon which wasn't good either .Disappointing to say the least but the staff team again were apologetic and did everything to make things better We weren't charged for our meal which was the appropriate response and we were appreciative of that .A bad day in the kitchen . Breakfast was typical hotel food.

United KingdomRoom only had a basic clean; we moved one bed over against the wall to let our baby sleep on it and there was so much rubbish lying below the bed. The travel cot supplied for our baby was extremely uncomfortable to the point that he just would not sleep in it; would be nice if a cot mattress was supplied along with it. The hotel overall would need a complete update but did the job. More baby facilities would be appreciated for cleaning/sterilising bottles and heating up food.
Location good, staff mostly friendly and helpful, pool decent and good for family use; nice and warm.

AustraliaWe booked this room for an event in town as it was the last available place. I found it to be very overpriced for what it was. I thought breakfast would have been included at this price. Staff were fine but not overly welcoming considering the price I payed to stay here.
Clean room, comfortable bed, good showers.

IrelandHaphazard service in bar and breakfast room. Tables not always cleaned on time before more people came for breakfast. Guess there must an issue with staff shortages. Drinks machine should be refilled more regularly. Guest Info book grubby, as were written menus. Encountered a hair in my toast. Don't think it was my own... Carpet all over the common areas and in the bedroom was dark and a poor choice of design for a hotel. First impressions are that the carpet is dirty, which clearly it WAS NOT!
