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 property is very tired looking and elements such as the disabled parking bays are absolutely useless for wheelchair users as they are just standard bays. There are no suitable tables at all for wheelchair users in the bar area which is frustrating. They did make an exception for us and allow us to take some bar food upstairs to the restaurant which helped a bit but the having to go downstairs to order that food and all of the drinks and then go back upstairs felt like a total faff. My biggest issue is the fact that the tv in our room did not work and maintenance do not work on weekends. We were told if we wanted a working tv then we would have to move rooms which was not convenient for us. For something so small it felt like it should have been easily sorted but instead the hotel policy has left us disappointed and frustrated.
The reception staff and the bar staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. They were very quick in answering my questions prior to our stay which was really appreciated.

United KingdomThe car park is terrible, most of it is just rough ground full of pot holes, so lots of puddles and very muddy, so when you are trying to unload car , you really don’t want to put any cases/bags down , and can’t wheel your suitcase. There were ants in our room . It was so late, we just needed to sleep, but did tell them when we checked out. However as it was an early checkout, there was only the night porter, who wasn’t interested. He just said “ok”.
Location for airport is good and easy to find. Check in staff were great.

United KingdomWe were in what they call the lodge. And I've stayed there 3 times now and every single time the corridors of the lodge absolutely smell of weed or marijuana.
It's very pleasant talking to reception staff whom are very helpful, the bar area is populated by workmen that stay out all week and use the place as temporary digs... menu very Good for pub grub.

IsraelNo one have told me the hotel charge for wi-fi. Anyway, upon arriving I have been told there is a free wi-fi in the lobby BUT IT DID NOT WORK!!! being a tourist with no UK contract I tried to connect to the paid option. I could not either!!! so I was stuck without important communication facilities. I then went to the room and it was cold! I noticed the radiator needs bleeding and told the receptionist about it. She said there is nothing she could do until Monday.... (I left on Sunday...). I wanted to terminate my booking but because there was no Internet I could not search for another hotel so I stayed reluctantly (The weather was too cold to start and chase another hotel). Also the pressure of the tap in the sink was such that if you were not careful it splashed all over... All in all I was very dissappointed since it was more expensive than a basic Travelodge that give better facilities. If there is justice I should get my money back!!!
