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.).

It would have been lovely to have 4 towels as there were four of us staying as well as some facecloths. There was no toaster which we have never experienced staying somewhere without one and would have been handy but we did use the oven instead to toast the toast so not a huge loss. There was a lot going on and was loud with people talking, beeping horns towards midnight so didn't get much sleep.
Location was good as we were 5mins up the road from where we were going. Shower was great. Staff was lovely very welcoming. Had milk, tea and coffee which was nice. Bed was super comfy to sleep on. Had access to netflix so was lovely to watch movies with our 2 boys and get them settled.

Had a hard time with locking and opening the door from the outside. Wasted so much time trying to lock it. There were no towels ready upon check-in. The fridge was installed when we just got inside and it was past 4 PM already.

Nothing I didn't like just a comment to maybe put a hand towel, and bath mat in the room for the guests. My room didn't provide either which I found a bit odd.
Nice spacious room with great amenities. Took me a bit to figure out how to watch the TV. Wasn't able to sus getting tv channels but there was Netflix available. Liked that the room had a USB internal charging port next to the bed. Bed was really comfortable.

- • Solo traveller
- • Family Room
- • Stayed 1 night
There was no remote for the TV. I informed the staff who gave me another TV to use however tried logging onto Netflix and my sign in would not work and yet I use Netflix frequently. When I went to cook my dinner both of the knobs on the stove hob were broken and I had to fidget with them just to turn the stove on. What should have taken me 5 minutes to cook my dinner took me an hour. Suggest rooms are checked after guests leave and before guests arrived to make sure everything is in order.
The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The bed was uncomfortable and rock solid, there were doors connecting our room to another guests room which made us kind of uneasy at times.
The staff were nice, especially the owner. The location is close to malls and restaurants, the air con was very high quality as well.

There folk who live upstairs could try sleeping instead of arguing all night. The cleaner could step up to the task.
