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.).

garden was a bit overgrown
The hosts were responsive and very accommodating. The property was as described, clean and tidy, with a homely feel. Well positioned for the hospital. I was able to park on the drive which was very convenient.

I think the price is a little on the high side for a guest house.
Excellent location for working at the hospital. Just a 3/4 minute walk. Very clean and modern. Comfortable bed and the owner was kind enough to upgrade me to a double room as he had one available. Parking available right outside. Had everything I needed for my stay.

Checked in late and window was still open so it was very cold 1st night - 2nd night was better. Shared bathroom - would prefer not to have to share with potentially 3 other rooms.
Close to hospital Kevin met me there late evening and showed me round everything - very pleasant and helpful Very quiet but property not full.

Lack of hooks e.g. for damp towels, flannels in bedroom. Although hot water in shower, there was no hot water in sink e.g. for shaving, general ablutions.
All the basics were there and in good condition. Bed really comfortable. Quiet surroundings. All facilitated for a good night's sleep.

My room only had a blind and it didn't have a curtain so there was a lot of day light coming through. It was very difficult for me to sleep in the day because of this. The room could benefit from a curtain. However, the bed was very comfortable.
The house was very clean and it had all the basics.

It would have been good to have a mirror in the room, then I wouldn't need to go backwards and forward to the shared bathroom to do makeup and hair. A bedside lamp in the room would also have been great.
Very clean, neat and secure.

The heating was a problem at first, but the owner did his best to sort it out (which he did). The rooms could do with a splash of colour - it's all grey & white. My final comment is that I found it really unnerving as there was only one other person in the house and it was a very quiet road.... not ideal walking back alone, late at night in the dark.
The cleanliness & facilities. The kitchen has everything you would have at home : toaster, cooker, grill, microwave, fridge/freezer. They also provide washing up liquid, scourers etc. The response time from the owner couldn't be faulted.

Whilst there was a TV in the bedroom/living room they didn't appear to be connected to such as freeview
It is as advertised - a room in a new/newly refurbished house. Looks like 4 bedrooms with shared bathroom/dining area and kitchen more like an apartment than hotel. Very clean. Slightly out of town but close to decent bus services.
