Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomDespite booking a room with lift access, our room was out of the building, through the rain, and up six flights of stairs. Staff - especially the tattooed man - tended to argue with us (once to insist our non-functional mini-fridge was a "room temperature cooler"). We were told on check-in we had an upgrade, but instead our room had no character features like the ones pictured on this site, and no lift access. Breakfast was at best mediocre, and delivered by an incompetence of junior staff. The bathroom tap was falling off. My wine - offered from the bar as compensation for the stairs - was from a bottle open a day at least (probably two). Every time another guest on our staircase entered or left their room, their slamming door woke us. It was impossible to drive up to the front of the hotel to load luggage - we had to drag it a quarter mile. Finally, when we checked out, the chap at the desk implored me to leave a ten-star review here. A ghastly experience!
Location. Cleanliness.

IndiaWe had asked for rooms next to each other. This was not done and we were on different floors. Rooms were of different sizes though of same category. Only one of two rooms was upgraded on arrival so we were unable to except it as it meant different buildings. So we had to shift the second day. We were eventually given an excellent room, however the other one was tiny and very uncomfortable. The staff were unable to provide a plastic chair for bath for a senior citizen as the property did not own one.
The location is excellent and very good for all visits.

United KingdomThe breakfast was disappointing and not worth the charge. There was a menu posted in the elevator which was substantially better than the one we were offered at breakfast. If the true menu was the one displayed prior we would not have added the cost of breakfast.

United KingdomWe paid for breakfast. On the first morning we ordered a hot breakfast which arrived after 50 minutes despite asking three members of staff if our food was arriving - never updated us. Very disappointing. The second day at breakfast was better. The cooked breakfast was ok but they had very delicious bread as part of the buffet breakfast. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend the hotel breakfast but the bedrooms were very clean and comfortable and location was great.
Very clean and great location. The beds were very comfortable and shower was lovely. The lady at reception was extremely welcoming and friendly.

On Saturday evening/ night there was an inspired choice of uniform at the front desk (an adidas tracksuit) and the buffet breakfast selection was pretty poor.

United KingdomFor the price per night, I felt disappointed in the level of cleanliness as the grouting in the bathroom was mouldy and dis-coloured. The painted woodwork in our room was very badly chipped and was in need of some TLC. There was no sound-proofing or double-glazing which led to a sleepless night due to about 50-60 people outside the hotel at 4 a.m. and the response from the reception staff when we were asked to 'grade our stay' was 'well that's what you get with a city centre location'. I've stayed in many city centre hotels over the year and have never heard that much noise!!!!
The hotel has a good central location. The staff at breakfast were very attentive and the food was delicious and freshly cooked to order.

United KingdomMinimal staffing levels on the Saturday- disinterested customer care. 2 single beds put together, uncomfortable mattress with a thin topper. Very poor finish in the rooms, paint slapped on, lime scale all over the bathroom. Towels with holes in. The hotel purports to be expensive and upmarket, but clearly isn’t with minimal staffing and poor attention to detail in rooms. We stayed in a ground floor room which was poorly soundproofed- you could hear everything at night outside.
It’s a good proximity to all of the essentials in the centre of bath

United KingdomThe room we supposedly booked here was bright, spacious and on an upper floor (“lift access”), according to Booking.com. In reality, The room we were given was painted black, on the ground floor of the slightly musty smelling annexe next door. Opening the curtains was out the question, as it would have been like the proverbial goldfish bowl. The promised seating area was a chair next to the front door. The room was well-equipped and clean, but not a place you’d want to spend any time in. Pretty noisy at night too.
Central location.

United KingdomThere was a bit of mould in the bathroom, by the window and just over the tiles in the shower. Nothing too worrisome, but worth keeping an eye on. The "wardrobe" was very stylish but it had barely any room in it. Our coats were so thick, we ended up having to throw them over the chair instead or putting them in the wardrobe. The window in the room was jetted on the bottom half so I couldn't really see the outside (only the sky and the very top of a few tall buildings). However the massive window in the toilet wasn't, so anyone could've sneaked a peak. We had to keep the curtain closed the whole time we were there which meant no natural light. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was also quite loud. Was quite frustrated trying to connect my phone to the TV. I followed all the instructions and the chromecast just wouldn't work. Youtube wouldn't perform any searches either. At least there was a good selection of channels on the TV.
My absolute favourite thing were the robes and slippers in the toilet (even if the slippers were paper thin). The bedding was lovely and thick and the room was very stylish, specially compared to most "standard" rooms I've ever stayed in. The staff was lovely and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The earlier you go the more likely you are to get pastries. We were lucky enough to make it in time to get some of the delicious chocolate twists. As a vegetarian, it was probably the first time my plate looked better than my boyfriend's. Specially recommend the vegan "bacon".
