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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Would have liked option for continental breakfast only as opposed to flat fee for full breakfast. In fact i selected room with breakfast included on Booking.com but was defaulted to room only without explanation - not the hotels fault.
Location great. Staff friendly, polite and helpful.

The bathroom and specifically the shower.
We were upgraded and so our room though small had a king size, very comfortable bed with very good bed linen. Room had a very nice aspect onto the street. Room was very warm and good tea/coffee making facilities. Bathroom was tiny and difficult to navigate and shower the smallest we have ever encountered (difficult to wash one's hair!). Also, there was some bad mould on the shower tiles that could easily be cleaned. The towels however were excellent. All of the staff at the hotel were exceptionally cheerful, pleasant and helpful.

Signs of dampness in dining area but probably to be expected due to age of building. Also flaking paint in part of our bedroom, but notice was up apologising for it. Apparently it was a temporary issue awaiting repair.
Good value breakfast, plenty of everything. Sausages a bit disappointing , but otherwise both cold and hot food excellent. Other meals were fine too, but menu appeared to be the same every day, so one might get tired of the same food if staying for more than a few days.

Mould in the shower.
Lovely historic building. The food was very nice both in the pub and at breakfast. The room was comfortable and clean apart from the shower which although it was clean had a lot of mould on the grouting which looked horrible. But the bed was very comfortable and tea and coffee facilities were good. Most of the staff were attentive and polite.

The bed was two single beds put together, which made the middle quite uncomfortable.
The location is right at the city centre, close to the shops and cafes. The staffs were super friendly and helpful with the parking space.
