Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomRooms great but could do with a little more lighting (around mirror/desk area) also coat hooks behind door, for winter coats, as no room in hanging space for bulky coats. We just had to leave them in corner on floor.
Location was great, the breakfast was amazing (far to much though for me) could do with the option of a smaller full breakfast "maybe 1 of everything instead of 2" staff very pleasant & helpful too

United KingdomCheck in could be in a quieter area and not at end of busy bar. Clearer signs to indicate where checkin is. Decor in hall ways to room needs touch up.
The breakfast time was between 8 - 12. So we sauntered down at approx. 10.45. The breakfast was great -hot freshly cooked. Unfortunately no poached eggs available and all drinks removed at 11.30 so only had one mug of coffee. Maybe an idea to shorten time to 11 30 so staff have time to set up for lunch and paying guests aren't left disappointed

LatviaWe spent 4 nights at the hotel and experienced different levels of hospitality. From super kind to cold and formal. Fortunately, the last day ended with a kind service, which is also better remembered.
Very good location, close to Underground to London. The premises are clean, pleasant, without ambition. Two pillows of different hardness, super. USB chargers at every outlet. Good english breakfest or toasts. Eating English breakfast four days in a row was a challenge. At the same time, being in the country, the local cuisine should be used. We will surely have enough English breakfast for some time, no matter how delicious it is.

Free parking, though you have to register on a machine in the pub. Great pub, had a live band on, room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent value, fresh cooked to order and delicious.
