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 KingdomNothing to write home about..if i was nit picking the stairs up to my top floor room was a slight pain but that really is nit picking. I would heartily recommend
Pleasantly surprised. Dont normally stay at small independent hotels but this was decent and im quite fussy.. the ensuite room was excellent value for money....it was clean, decent decor..not a miah mash of nonsenae that you often get at similar hotels. Will stay here again if im working in the area.

ThailandI wasn’t very keen on the lock on the door, it was just a Yale lock. As a single female I prefer to be able to lock myself into a room with a bolt or extra lock.
Really friendly host on reception. Pretty basic hotel but that’s what I’d expect for the price.

United KingdomNowhere to hang towels - a minor issue but a very easy fix. Decor and furnishings in the room are a bit tired - but perfectly clean and very acceptable for the price.
Spacious, clean room, nice views, comfortable bed, decent shower, very friendly and helpful welcome at reception - free breakfast pack included (instant porridge, apple juice and a danish pastry), which was unexpected and a very kind gesture. Great location, easy short walk to centre and waterfront. Free parking. Fantastic value for money.

United KingdomThe extractor fan in the bathroom needed cleaning and there were a few hairs on the bathroom wall. The desk was a little battered but very minor details that could be easily rectified. It would also be nice to have a shampoo included as well as the bar of soap.
Staff were very friendly on check in. The hotel is in a central location but quiet and with free parking which was a great bonus. Breakfast was included with porridge, juice and pain au chocolates in a little bag which was lovely. The room was comfortable and a fan had been included during the heat wave which was a godsend! Towels and a bar of soap included. Any additional items could be grabbed from a “help yourself” at reception. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomVery very hot on the top floor, a fan was provided but on a hot day it seems to absorb the heat.
A complimentary breakfast bag was a nice touch. Staff were helpful, we had an issue with the shower which was fixed the same day we reported it. Didn't come by car but there was some parking directly outside. Despite being a little tired it was all clean and tidy.
