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 KingdomThe only unfortunate downside is the proximity to other guests who constantly slam the fire doors.
Excellent accommodation with everything catered for. Good selection of toiletries and ample tea and coffee. We were kept entertained by the local pheasant. Easy access to the property and clear instructions left by the hosts. The bed was comfortable, allowing us to have a good night's sleep. Close to basic amenities, the beach and buses. Certainly a place we would consider returning to.

United KingdomThere might be an issue if the weather is hot since besides the door to gain access to the outdoor area there aren't any windows which can be opened. The studio relies on an airconditioning unit which could be noisy.
Scott, one of the hosts, provided an excellent YouTube video showing where the studio was located on the hotel site. This made finding the studio easy. He was also very accommodating re storing our luggage before our flight home, which we really appreciated. The studio itself was clean and comfortable with a lovely outside area that would be a fantastic bonus in good weather – alas the weather wasn’t suitable for sitting outside when we were there. The shower has to be mentioned since it was excellent! In terms of location, the studio is approx. a 10min walk to Cobo Bay where the bus, which goes around the Guernsey coastline, can be caught. This was ideal since we were on a walking holiday and did not have access to a car. There is also a bus stop just outside the hotel which takes you into St Peter Port.

United KingdomWe would have preferred an outdoor space, but there are the grounds of the hotel which I guess we could have used. It would benefit from having a chopping board.
The apartment was roomy and very comfortable. It was well equipped for a short or long stay, and on a bus route, so very handy for people like us who didn't have transport. The bathroom had a separate bath and shower, and plenty of towels and toiletries. The kitchen was well equipped but would benefit from having a chopping board (we used a plate!!) There is a very soft comfortable bed and also a double sofa bed and single armchair, both of which were comfortable. There is a fold up table and chairs inside a spacious wardrobe (which was quite difficult to open due to the carpet being really thick by the wardrobe doors). The apartment itself was nicely decorated and very clean. We looked for a dustpan and brush to be able to sweep the laminate floor by the kitchen units, but couldn't find one!! Kitchen towels, washing up liquid and hand soap were all provided for use in the kitchen, as were salt, pepper, tea, coffee and sugar. There's an Iceland shop in cobo about 15 minutes walk away, through the housing estate opposite the hotel, which was handy for the provisions we needed. We would use the accommodation again should we visit guernsey in the future

United KingdomThere is only really bus routes to and from the apartment and St Peter Port, so if you want to visit anywhere else, you will have to navigate different bus routes. If driving this should be no issue. However, I would recommend hiring bicycles for the stay to get around easier.
The apartment was superb. Lots of space, very clean, and well stocked with all the linen and towels required. The hosts are very friendly, made contact prior to moving in to check all was okay, and was very easy and quick to contact over Whatsapp. Was very helpful with any queries I had. The kitchen was well equipped, making it easy to cook and prep with all the necessary utensils and appliances. The bathroom was kitted out well and can accommodate everyone. The property is well situated, easy to get to by bus from St Peter Port, and is within a 15 minute walk of the spectacular Cobo beach, shops, and pubs. Well worth going to the Rockmount pub if you have a chance. Cannot recommend this apartment enough!

Accommodation was lovely and extremely clean and new. The hosts even arranged for a cleaner during the stay. The environment is extremely quiet so you can have some excelllent relaxation there are also local restaurants and pubs near by and if you want to get into town there is a bus stop directly next to the property. The accommodation is large with a high ceiling, facilities are excellent along with a power shower, bath and any amenities you need in order to cook. There is also a nice balcony where you can sit out at night and have some peace. The hosts were excellent and accommodated to every request.

Location, very handy for our needs. Bed was comfy and a good size room. Lovely patio area for when the weather is warmer.

United KingdomFor people staying more than a couple of days, like us, it would have been good to have a decent dining table and chairs, rather than having to put up an old picnic table in the room. A hoover or a dust pan and brush would have been handy too. Both insurmountable issues and these would not matter if guests would not be staying long. A couple of other things: the air conditioner couldn't really be used because of the noise of it and just a safety thing, the kettle doesn't switch itself off. None of this spoiled the stay, Scott was attentive in trying to find a piece of furniture for us and communication was really good.
Very clean and spacious studio, very nicely set out.

Several pieces of crockery were chipped/cracked.
