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.).

AustraliaRoom was a bit cramped for three people and luggage. There were no instructions on how to operate the shower, which required using a switch which was located outside the bathroom. We had no bathroom lights the first night however this was rectified the next morning.
Liked the location.

NorwayThe lack of staff can be somewhat inconvenient. It would have been nice to be able to store the bags at the guest house a few hours before check in and after check out.
Great location and good value for the money overall. The staff responded quickly to our messages and did what they could to accommodate our requests.

United KingdomThe noise outside was loud as it is a through road and the cars and lorries seemed extra loud . The shower kept losing power mid-way through showering. The hot tap in the sink didn't work. Unfortunately it said sea view but the trees were in the way so you couldn't see anything.
The bed was super comfy. And the room was spacious and airy . Everything was in walking distance and very central. The sea was at the end of the road.

United KingdomMissing plug in sink and no water from hot tap. Cold water tap not working at times, and as some other guests have already commented, sewage smell on occasion from bathroom area. As I was only really needing a bed for the night, this did not impact on me hugely.
Good location and central to bus routes. Photos of rooms were as shown (except not as clean as I had hoped). Basic, but this is reflected in the price. Towels cleaning soft and bed comfortable. Netflix included on the TV.

United KingdomThe kettle was a bit odd. The cable wouldn't reach to the nearest power socket, and I had to plug it in next to the bed. It only really held enough water for one cup (which was fine - I was on my own), which meant it was very light, so had a tendency to slide towards the edge of the bedside table. Not a big thing at all, but everything else was so good, it was noticeable
Lovely room, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, tea and coffee, nice shower, good quality towels. No staff - key code on front door, lock box for room key - but none were needed. Beautifully quiet and restful. Highly recommend
