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 reception staff were not very friendly. It seemed as if they would cause me problems if I had not been able to find my driving licence to show to her. Even though I had several credit cards in my name and used one to pay the hotel bill at checkin even before she gave me a room key. There was a notice by the desk saying that checkout was by 10am and anyone leaving later would be charged at extra £10 per hour up to 12pm. I thought that was a very unfriendly notice and wanted to get extra money from anyone who left the room just a few minutes after 10am
The room whilst rather basic was clean and totally adequate. There were plenty of clean towels. The public areas have been decorated and are now quite pleasant. I did not have the breakfast because it did not seem to be very good value and used to get bad reviews.

The Hotel was boiling hot...even with the window open. The room and beds were clean...the bathroom wasnt so clean in that there were other peoples hair on the tiles in the bath/shower.
Price and Breakfast was good. The morning receptionist was very helpful and friendly. The room was ok, the price was cheap.

United KingdomHad to wait to check in, once we got to the reception desk, there was no apology about the wait. Very outdated bedroom. No shampoo/conditioner etc in the bathroom. Clean on the surface, but can see hairs etc on carpet. Boiling hot in the room, even though radiators weren’t on. Cant comment on food, as we didn’t eat there. Unfortunately had the worst nights sleep, as there was riff raff, shouting and swearing outside the hotel and could smell weird around the premises outside
Nice reception area when you walk in. Spacious family room.

United KingdomThe hotel was really really dated and needed updating and redecorating especially in the rooms and corridors. Lots of maintenance issue, carpets stuck down with duck tape etc The room had only 2 plug sockets in the room. One had the TV plugged in. We had a family room and in order to charge 4 phones, it was very difficult. The description on the websites does not match the reality. It really is dilapidated and in need of updating. Internet was poor too. The rooms were hot and we had to have the window open all night. In summer I do not know how people would get comfortable as the windows only opened up partially for safety.
Very very very Cheap compared to other hotels and had a the pool. If you don't mind the negatives, it worth it.

United KingdomThe hotel was a bit of a maze, when trying to find our room. There are lifts to get to the top floor but if using the stairs to the top floor it feels like your in a multi storey car park.
The hotel has a swimming pool available to use at certain intervals in the day. A games room with pool tables and table tennis. There was also entertainment in the bar in the evening.

United KingdomThe hotel is a bit of a mish-mash, and not particularly well kept. There was mould in the bathroom, the whole place needed a massive refresh. This is definitely not any kind of luxury hotel.
Location was good - ideal for the airport as we planned. The beds were clean and there was plenty of space in the room. Asda nearby was great for room snacks.
