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 are 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 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 KingdomI wanted a glass of white wine in the bar so and they had ran out!!!!! Very strange for a bar in the middle of Bournemouth. This was a Thursday night and quite quiet. The bedrooms are adequate but could be updated.
There was a couple of things I didn't want on the full english breakfast, so when it came it was a bit sparse, 1 sausage, 1 slice of bacon, mushroom and egg. I did think that for the price of it, they would at least put 2 sausages and 2 bacon. The staff were very good. Location excellent. Loved the secure gated parking.

United KingdomTBH we were informed in advance that there was a busy nightclub in the basement and too expect noise. However being an old building the noise came from the guests in the neighbouring room. The hotel did offer to move us to another room but we decided to cut our stay short as we had already seen the act we had come for over at the BIC which is literally over the Road. Please note that the hotel staff were excellent and really did try to help.
Fantastic location, room was a really good size. Historic building and the cocktail bar 1812 was a great place to have a drink and enjoy live music at the weekend. The staff were all really friendly and happy to help. Breakfast was good as well plus secure parking on site.

United KingdomThe shower in my room was slightly cold when fully turned up in the morning. The Wifi was very patchy in my room, and you also you may want to consider upgrading your Wi-Fi network as I had warning signs coming up on my devices on the morning of my check out stating that the Wifi network was very high risk to being hacked. Also the breakfast was slightly pricey but I opted and went for a Wetherspoons breakfast around the corner.
The hotel is literally within walking distance of the beach, and the town centre. I arrived early on the day of my check-in and I was able to leave my suitcase and go for a wonder beforehand. The staff were genuinely friendly and excellent, the facilities were great, and I slept like a baby as the bed was very comfortable.

IrelandThe shower in the bathroom was a little underwhelming with low water pressure and it took some time for it to heat up.
It was an excellent location for the weekend. Close to the pier, beach and the local amenities.
