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 bathroom quality didnt match the room, it was very small, shower not great. The corridors had an overpowering smell of.... Lynx Africa, very strange. Needs a new scent in the air fresheners. The parking is a bit of a walk from reception, not ideal carrying lots of luggage. We were asked to move our car upon parking so workmen could park their vans the next day.
The room was very large with extra wide bed, huge tv, fridge and seating. Staff were very helpful placing items in the room for a surprise birthday treat. The views over the river, and watching the local rowers were a highlight. Very close to the centre making it easy to get around by foot.

United KingdomFrom the outside the Hotel looks like a soviet era tower block, something you would find in Chernobyl, could put some visitors off. Smokers standing at the front entrance on a lot of occasions as we entered the hotel.
Large twin room with all modern facilities. Breakfast was good with a range of options. location is very central and in a good area of Bedford. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel decor on the inside and in the rooms is of a good modern standard, unlike the outside appearance, this is one hotel that could do with some cladding.

United KingdomYou could easily hear the neighbours coming in, the sound created by the wind and the single glazed window. I would have preferred that windows were clean on the outside as well. I did not appreciate the drunk customer that pressed the fire alarm at 1:10am.
The staff members were friendly and helpful. The location was great for what I needed it to be. I was looking forward for coffee and that was accessible. The room was clean and temperature wonderful, the bed was comfortable.

United KingdomI object to paying extra to park my car especially when the car park surface was less than satisfactory and there were no EV charging facilities. we have previously stayed at the Priory Bedford where car parking is included with the room.
The room was very comfortable, plenty of space and well serviced every day. Breakfast was very good, great choice and very good latte from the machine.

United KingdomHousekeeping. Came back to room one day to find the fresh towels just dropped on my bag. Next day came back to find a USED face-mask (didn't know they were still a thing) on my bag. This is somewhere between gross and clinical waste. Also most hotels would remove empty glasses and return them to the bar, they weren't. Aircon unit very noisy.
Location, breakfast, general feel, front of house staff very helpful.
