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 water pressure in the shower was terrible, after a long journey I was looking forward to a nice relaxing shower, however it wasn't meant to be. Toilet seat was broken, very wobbly and the flush on the toilet needs replacing. In the bedroom one of the lamps weren't working, presumably the bulb had broken and the traffic from the main road is an issue if you want to open a window ,(night sweats). I would recommend having a fan in the room for people who prefer cooler rooms.
Friendly receptionist and staff. Breakfast was easy to access and good variety.

United KingdomObviously now I have been there, the building was a few years old, it will require refurbishment soon, I especially had difficulties with entering and locking my room 105 door, it was a nuisance. In my room also, unfortunately it had and Exit chimney from the kitchen area extracting equipment in front of my large window, this was not really acceptable today, I thought.
With respect specifically to the breakfast room, it was organised well and functional with a good selection of various offers and the coffee was very good I thought oh yes and I enjoyed the haggis for brekky too.

United KingdomExtremely helpful staff for check in with my elderly father and adaptability of his room, allowing us to take a chair with arms into his room to help him get up and onto his walker etc. Also gave great advice to my husband on how best and cheapest to get into Edinburgh in the evening for a quick visit to the festival ( only there that night en route to a holiday). Food good value and enjoyable. We could see it was near/on an industrial estate but it was well screened and quiet. Nothing too much trouble. Thank you. We would stay again in the future.

United KingdomA couple of the staff seemed to have strange views on customer service with regards to where to sit when dining in the restaurant. We wanted to take a drink (bought at their bar) with us into the restaurant to have with our meal. We weren't allowed to and had to have our meals in the bar (even though other people dining in the restaurant had drinks from the bar). The bar and restaurant are basically the same room with the same tables. Another one got a bit miffed because we had the audacity to sit at a table in a basically empty restaurant without checking with her that it was okay for us to eat and pay for our meals. This isn't fine-dining guys and a bit of staff training would not go amiss. I
This is a comfortable hotel with good, comfortable facilities. A good breakfast is provided. The other (not included) meals in the restaurant were okay - reasonable pub-grub at best. Staff were welcoming and friendly. This hotel caters for tourist coaches and although it makes it busy, it doesn't detract from them providing a good service for other guests.
