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 KingdomMy room was effected by noise from people walking up and down the staircase and staff traffic. Also air con noisy and did not heat the room. Checked out and was not asked if I enjoyed my stay.. bit of a fatal error. Just felt it was not worth the money in todays market.
Great location and view

The location was fantastic and the hotel was very aesthetically pleasing and clean. The staff were also really friendly and had gone to the extra effort of leaving a dog bed and doggy bag in the room for our dog, which was a lovely little touch.

United KingdomRoom lighting is atmospheric, but not good enough to put on make up ( even in bathroom) - but this is the case in all hotels in this group. Power point at the dressing table for hairdryer would be useful.

United KingdomThe tables weren't clean and there were dirty glasses in the bar area and on the tables. We waited a while to be served. And the cost of the drinks was very high. I called to ask for parking on my way to the hotel. I was told there were no spaces on site and I'd have to pay £56 for an overnight space. After some negotiation, I was offered a voucher to cover half of this fee. When we arrived, my partner was offered a car parking space on site for even less cost. I did wonder why this wasn't offered initially.
The location, views, and room are really lovely. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom, and the high-quality products! Great coffee.

United KingdomBreakfast could have been better, no ordinary full fat milk, bread poor, no fresh bread only toast, cheese, that you have to ask for is just sliced processed, but cooked breakfast good, pastries nice too. Just a little better on the continental front. Not a deal breaker would just bring my own ( when we queried the same at a premier inn type place they went straight out to the local shop to get some and it was there waiting for us the next morning, a lovely touch.
Room excellent, warm, comfy, large bed, fluffy towels, good view, good bar area and lounge. Location good easy to avoid driving in Bristol's one way, bus lane, congestion charging that makes it a no go as far as we are concerned ( welcome tourists NOT!!!!! ). Clifton is lovely, good shops, restaurants etc. Parking good.

United Kingdom1. The Goram & Vincent restaurant menu is trying to be too ‘different’ - we feel the hotel would be better to adopt a menu more similar to Côte, Browns, The Ivy. For example, the terrine starter was rabbit terrine which wouldn’t suit everyone. In our opinion the other HDV hotel (The Sugar House) where we generally stay has a more suitable menu 2. The armless seating benches in the foyer area are uncomfortably low and difficult to rise from 3. The lighting in the rooms are complicated
1. Quick & efficient check-in 2. Comfortable beds 3. Exceptionally clean 4. Fast lift 5. Efficient room-service 6. High quality fresh cooked breakfast

United KingdomThe main thing which was disappointment was the breakfast. We had to pay an extra £22 per person for breakfast. The Beans were cold, bacon was tough, scrambled egg sloppy and the toast was stone cold.
The Hotel is in an excellent location. There are fantastic views over to the suspension bridge in the rear garden. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We also had a great deal on the price, possibly because we had booked very early.

United KingdomI don't understand how is possible that in such a nice place slippers and toothpaste/toothbrush are not provided. I didn't like a specific comment of the Italian waiter who served us at dinner.if I was alone I'd have definitely replied,made a point and perhaps even a formal complaint. Yet,most of the dishes were not included in the package but there was a supplement to pay.
The room overall was quite cool and comfortable. Staff helpful and nice.
