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 KingdomMy room was on the top floor so took a long time for hot water to come to come through the sink and shower (a lot of wasted water!)
Staff were very friendly on arrival and at breakfast. The property was clean and tidy with plenty of parking at the rear of the property (once I managed to find it)

United KingdomThe breakfast was at £8.50 more expensive than the £6.00 I remember having seen on the website. Furthermore, I had paid a premium for a room upgrade to a bigger room, but was put nevertheless in a small room upstairs. The room was fine, however, as I had paid for the upgrade I wasn't quite satisfied.
It was clean and everything worked.

FranceThe room and bathroom were small and access was up steep stairs with a heavy fire door ( necessary, I understand) making entry into the room difficult when laden with luggage.
The guest house was easy to find with parking at the rear but also on a direct bus route into Bristol. The room was clean, the bed was comfy with TV and kettle.

Room was clean and tidy, en-suite was also clean. It was a small room. Wi-Fi was good, and the TV has apps like Netflix and Disney+. Just Eat is available and there are few places to eat within walking distance. Large car park at the back of the property too.

AustraliaCredit cards not accepted, only debit cards. Well, if their card machine is working - it couldn't connect to the internet, which the vendor blamed on my card being bad. I had to go to a nearby ATM and get charged excessive foreign exchange fees in order to pay with cash. Ended up costing me about 15% more.
Room was decent

United KingdomAn Earlier check-in time would have been appreciated so we could drop our bags off, park and get on with work, only wanting to access the room after 6pm. The hotels car park is a little tricky to find but that's not the hotels fault. I dislike ANPR cameras on any car park - I distrust the operators from personal experience. That said, if you log your registration into the hotels parking system (and make sure you do or the sharks will be after you - not the hotel but the parking company !) you get free parking for the duration of your stay. Don't park on the left hand side of the car park. You'll get a fine. It's owned and policed by another parking company. It's not that well signposted so be aware. Bristol is too far to walk from the hotel in reality. That said, the bus is cheap as chips (~£3) and a Cab cost us £15-20 after midnight from centre to hotel. Beware, Bristol City's black cabs have an operating boundary and will try to maximise their profit margin if they go outside it so use the recommended cabs the hotel signpost you to.
Great hosts. Very friendly and helpful to answer questions about the local amenities (e.g. buses, taxi numbers, etc.). Great twist on the traditional breakfast by having a Chinese & Veggie options. Food was lovely and generous with unlimited tea/coffee for us. Room very tidy and clean. Impressive original fixtures if you like a bit of Victoriana. Free parking for after checkout (I went into Bristol and they allowed me to park all day). Safe area but a busy road. I was in the front downstairs bedroom and slept well without interruption. Getting into Bristol is easy - local buses are running past every 15 mins (£2-£3 per person). Bus stops to & from town are within 1 minute of hotel's front entrance. Airbus is a stones throw away so ideal if that is your destination for a work visit. The Hotel is connected to Bristol city centre by one big super long road - longest independent shopping drag in Europe fact fans ! - worth a walk if you like exploring the many cuisines and niche shops the city has to offer. But bring some comfy shoes as it's a long walk and up hill on the way back !
