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 KingdomLovely friendly warm welcome. Staff were exceptional throughout our visit. Room was clean and tidy, great to have an iron and ironing board in the room. Plenty of toiletries. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice. Nothing was to much for any of the staff. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomFour of us had dinner in the restaurant and like in so many hotels the meals were a bit disappointing. The restaurant is nice and the service was good.
It's hard to fault the Earl. Friendly staff, great bedrooms, secure parking and a short walk to the city centre.

United Kingdomunfortunately the bathroom was not up to standard, I think a safety issue. The shower you could not open if you tried it hit the sink and also the bathroom handle stopped the screen opening. It was poorly built and equipped. I having had a knee replacement and another poorly knee i had difficulty getting in the bath I had to hold onto the two handles within the bath I could not get out so my husband helped me. Bath towels were wet in the morning because only had a rail to dry them needed a heated rail.. No shelf to put your things
ambience of the hotel room, breakfast and bed excellent. It is a shame that the restaurant was not promoted better on outside of the hotel or inside especially sunday lunches this needs to be greatly improved

United KingdomI believe I was misled by pictures on booking.com as I was expecting a traditional quirky art deco room as advertised instead we received a modern room which was no better than premier inn . So I was disappointed having booked over 12 months ago that this happened. Booking.com should state clearly which room is available since you have the option to ‘select room’ . Paying for what I received was rather expensive. Diane at reception did offer to change to a room that I wanted but we had already unpacked . This should not have happened.
Fab location. Near the racecourse . Extremely friendly staff
