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.).

AustraliaParking was a issue with no on site parking and street parking difficult to find during the day. The planes flying overhead was a bit off putting but we realize that cannot be helped.
The staff where very friendly and helpful. The room was exceptional, with a very comfy bed and wonderful shower. Also it was so convenient for breakfast and dinner as the restaurant below was very good.

AustraliaThe staff were welcoming and very professional. The rooms are super clean and comfortable with everything you need. The bar downstairs is beautifully decorated and has a great selection of wines and cocktails. The pool area could do with a bit more attention, but the pool itself was clean and accessible. The restaurant attached to the property is a hidden gem, great food, staff and lovely ambience. Thank you so much to all the staff, we loved our stay and will be back. The location is perfect as well.

New ZealandIt can be a bit noisy. The staff are not particularly careful to clean up quietly after the restaurant is closed and the clean up area was outside our room. The room we were in is not particularly sound proof. Also had four lovely pillows - but they were all the same thickness, so a variety would be good.
The hotel is a quaint little place. The staff are friendly and the furnishings are lovely. The restaurant is lovely and very yummy.

United KingdomCar parking can be tricky, as parking is on the road in front of the hotel and sometimes there is not much space.
This place is wonderful – set in a repurposed historic house, which has been transformed into very attractive, stylish and comfortable accommodation, with a fantastic restaurant downstairs. The bed was wonderful and the bathroom was of a very high quality. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk along the seafront from the marina and many other bars and restaurants – although the restaurant downstairs is so good that there is no need to go out. It serves a very good breakfast, and dinner too on most nights – and some imaginative cocktails!
