How guest reviews work

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):

• Politically sensitive comments
• Promotional content
• Illegal activities
• Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
• Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
• Spam and fake content
• Animal cruelty
• Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

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.).

Fab location and price - staff were all lovely

Didn't feel the breakfast utensils were assurred to be clean to touch. Saw someone drop tongs on floor and replaced back to table for others to use.

The bar service was table service and quite slow. The staff were brilliant and friendly but not enough of them for the amount of guests.

Lovely and clean. Great value for money.

Limited options for vegans. Staff happily provided oat milk for tea and coffee in the room but biscuits provided were not vegan and breakfast options limited. No plant based yoghurt available either. One vegan option meal available and no vegan dessert in the bar. Limited option in restaurant too

Loved the venue, location and staff were amazing.

The staff was very welcoming arrived early put our luggage in storage carried on our day. Bed very comfortable and plenty of space in our room. Plenty of choice for Breakfast.

Service in the restaurant was poor and seemed disorganised for breakfast with only one staff member on the floor. We had a lovely afternoon tea the day before, but service was the only letdown.

The location was excellent, and it was a special occasion so we were given a room upgrade which was excellent. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Afternoon Tea was excellent and I would highly recommend.

Breakfast was lovely but the tea/coffee area was rather wet and messy. The saucers need to be with the cup and no teaspoons. There was also mouldy bread in the toast area.

Breakfast. (Not organised, was not informed of the setup, just handed a reserved sign and left to work everything out myself) The couple in front of us however were asked if they had been before ,said no and then escorted to a table and informed of what to do and where everything was. Breakfast was help yourself buffet style. Asked for scrambled egg without pepper and was told that ther unable to do that, but could make me an omelette instead. Did not like as not properly cooked. (Raw in the middle) Youg staff waiting tables were friendly, however the gentleman running the restaurant I found rude. (All customers should be treated equally)

Nice size room for my granddaughter and myself. Although only one bed, which could have been made into two. Riverside view. Small fridge in the room.

Water in the shower doesn't match this beautiful yatch water is cold so we were bit cold while showering,the room was supposed to come with a bathrobe & slippers there was none so I let it slide it was only 1 night we were from another hotel so it was ok

This yacht hotel is everything u wish for on a holiday, their staff very helpful & friendly, we came in early they kept our luggage safely, their food ( dinner absolutely delicious, expensive yes but u pay more for good stuff right 😊
