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 StatesCan't find any fault with the hotel, but this is our view others may find items not to their taste but everyone to there own. We would stay here again.
The check in staff were right on the ball, made check in very smooth. They upgraded our room to 403 facing the old harbor and a great view of the mountains for our 35th anniversary. The door to the balcony opened to be able to air the room if needed, when closed almost sound proof which helped on a Saturday night. sun set at 1048 and sunrise was at 0430 beautiful colors at both times. Breakfast is either included in your room price or you can pay at time of service depending on your hunger. Checkout was smooth, only issue that may upset some people is parking is offsite so you have to locate parking but no more than 10 minute walk.

NetherlandsThe room had limited space for clothes storage.
Very conveniently located, friendly staff, everything was nice. The shower was exceptionally nice also. The hotel has a good breakfast buffet, and there is also a very nice bakery in the entrance. The hotel’s location is very nice, opposite the harbour and near a pickup bus stop.

Exceptionally clean. Efficient check in and check out. Excellent reception staff who helped us with taxi bookings and our late booking for the Blue Lagoon. The attached restaurant and bar serve excellent food and drinks. The additional in house bakery is lovely too. Really enjoyed our stay here and it was a perfect place to come back to after a long day sightseeing.

United KingdomNothing this place is awesome.
The hotel is incredible, very modern with great facilities in the room and a very comfortable bed. The location is perfect on the Harbour everything you'll need on your trip is so close, from restaurants to tours and museums. Downstairs in basically the lobby is the best bakery you'll ever have the pleasure of eating in, it's called DEIG even if you're not staying at the Exeter make sure you go to the bakery, in the same complex is TAIL which is a bar with live music during the week, and next to that is LE COCK a fantastic restaurant with incredible burgers and wings, all in all the Exeter is by far the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

United KingdomWe have not been able to think of anything for this section.
The location was fantastic for restaurants, shopping and night life. Also, the fact that 1 of the main pick-up points was across the road, so as to be able to go on trips was also so convenient. The staff are so friendly and the bakery downstairs is a must try! With a bar and restaurant on-site as well, the hotel does cover most bases. We had a room with a harbour view and this was well worth it. Watching the fishing boats and whale watching tours arrive and depart with the snow topped mountains on the other side of the bay was great. The room itself, in addition to the views, has a comfortable industrial feel to it, a very comfortable large bed with a separate seating area. The shower was so relaxing being a walk-in with a large raindrop showerhead.
