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 KingdomIt's very strange to have keyboxes on every door and no staff. That's obviously very easy for the owner! not a problem.
Its a comfortable place to stay, although it is very basic and functional. Communication was good via text, but no staff on site. I actually stayed an extra night because the price and location is ok.

United KingdomWould be nice if there was a bathroom door, as you walk through to the bathroom from the bedroom. You can’t see in from the bed but would still be nice to have some privacy.
Easy to find even with us arriving in the dark. Good communication with manager. Property was very clean, comfortable and very good value for money.

United KingdomVery impersonal service with door codes on every door, but functional. That didn't really matter, just a bot different. As a basic place to sleep it's ok. I stayed an extra night so not bad. In hindsight I think that Port Patrick is a nice place to visit but oh well, not bad.
It's a good location and comfortable.

United StatesI didn't realize when I booked that the bathroom was not in the bedroom. We had to go into the hallway, and the bathroom was next door. It was a private bathroom, but it could only be locked from the inside, so we weren't comfortable leaving our things in it overnight. There was also a bad water stain on the ceiling in the bedroom and no mirror over the sink in the bathroom.
Easy self-check-in, and the room was larger than many we had booked. The beds were comfy and the room was clean.

United KingdomI found it looking a wee bit tired compared to previous visits. I could see the door- locks have been upgraded- which is very welcome. I’m wondering if it is time to upgrade the pillows and mattress covers. It was not as comfortable as I recall- and I have stayed in room6 several times over recent years. Unfortunately, there was a really noisy family in several other rooms downstairs, so that did not help.
Have stayed here many times. I like the set-up. It is comfortable and of a good standard.

New ZealandA bit of a step to the waterfront.
We arrived earlier and the cleaning staff were exceptionally good and helped us with bags. The lockbox system worked perfectly. Some reviews complained about the bathroom windows lacking blinds or curtains however the window frosting completely blocked any view from the outside even at night with the lights on, so anyone complaining must be hard up for things to whinge about.

United KingdomWaterfall part of shower needs re-attached to wall before it damages the unit(room4), could do with internal handle on front door as its a bit heavy to open if you are carrying things - and maybe a few more hangers in wardrobe. No real criticism just helpful comments I hope.
Location, clearly trying hard to upgrade everything, very good value for money though

United KingdomNo exhaust fan in toilet, host can look into installing one. Parking may be difficult as it is on street, which may be full. Host is inconsiderate, our ferry was cancelled due to storm l, we could not travel, this was beyond our control, but host refused to change dates, even though Booking. Com customer service also sympathetically considered our circumstances and requested the host. Rooms in this property are rented on non refundable basis but host could be more considerate. Our stay therefore costed us double the price.
Room was clean, spacious, location is good, it's a small town, room price is affordable

United KingdomThe smoke alarm outside the room was beeping intermittently throughout the night as the battery’s were needing replaced, however this did not put us off our sleep and I’m sure if we reported this it would have been resolved.
This is the third time we have stayed as a family at the Windsor House. The accommodation is excellent and we were given the family room at the top floor as per the previous two stays. The key lock approach suits us as we normally arrive a bit later in the evening as we use the hotel as an overnight stay prior to getting a ferry in the morning. The room is always very clean and spacious for a family of four.
