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 KingdomThe shower in Room 47 was not free draining.
Since staying a month previous, the 'snags' experienced previously had been fixed. There was one issue, which one of the guests noticed in that the shower was not draining away freely. Staff were very friendly and helpful/interested in the well-being of the guests.

Hotel is well placed to visit the whole area, near the motorway but not noisy. The Health spa sells Starbucks, breakfast and other food items. Room has tea and coffee facilities and hotel has a bar in reception. Staff are friendly and very helpful, great value for money.

United KingdomIndustrial estate vibe. Though it was good to have a bar, a couple of idiots made the atmosphere a bit rubbish and I don’t think the desk staff could do anything to address it.

United KingdomOur room was lacking bedside lights. We only had main light in bedroom and a couple of spotlights above the bed..not very romantic if you wanted mood lighting! No light round mirror on vanity unit. Our room faced the main road and didn't get much sun so extra lighting would have been helpful when doing hair. Can't fault the cleanliness. It was just lighting that was below standard
Bar area in the reception was fantastic. It was lovely to be able to get a drink and sit down for a comfy chat before bedtime. The staff were amazing too. Very helpful.

United KingdomA couple came in off the street and asked about spa treatment prices, took two towels from the reception area and went round the back of the hotel with towels which we witnessed on our way to the health club. Then later in the evening People coming in off the street trying to book rooms late in the evening. Two females and two males came in the females clearly stated to the males they wished to be left alone. The males then proceeded to try and book a room also and demanded to know what rooms the girls had. Maybe I shouldn't have but I had to say to the receptionist those girls have clearly asked to be left alone. The men were verbally abusive to me meaning we had to leave the bar area and go to our room. It doesn't give the vibe of a safe environment so we wouldn't be returning.
The staff were all lovely

United KingdomThe cafe in health club was small and more of a sociable area not necessarily somewhere to have a meal but this was understandable as it was a health club and more for somewhere to sit and take a break.
We arrived on 22nd Feb (the man who was on reception was so helpful and friendly so thank you) I was given the keys to hotel earlier and allowed me to check in early due to this occasion being for my partners birthday. We cleaned up before leaving. They accepted a hotel set up. Hotel was fresh and clean matched the photos on website.
