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 KingdomThat I had to leave so early so didn’t get the chance to try breakfast! My fault, not theirs.
Lovely room - spacious, clean and very comfortable. Staff are amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. I had to leave very early in the morning and I was delighted with the takeaway continental breakfast they made me. Will be visiting Guildford again soon and will definitely be staying at the Mandolay.

United KingdomI stayed in the coach house which is away from the main hotel building. There were people staying in the room above me, I could hear them walking about. Also banging & crashing by kitchen staff at 6.30am (luckily I was awake but others may not have been).
Good location, few minutes walk from London Road station and G-Live concert venue. Staff at reception were nice and polite. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThe only fault was that the bathroom had a bit of limescale around the shower cubicle it was quite small and a bit dated.
The staff were excellent from the start, reception and at the bar they could not of been more friendly and accommodating. The location was great for getting into town. Parking did cost £15 24 hrs but we did get a drink each at the bar.

SwitzerlandUnfortunately, and this is no reflection on the property there was a marital dispute on my floor at about 2am on my last night. This might not have been a problem had the door to my room been soundproofed - alas the door was not solid core but a light weight internal door. Thankfully the noise subsided after about half an hour.
The property was well appointed and my executive room was very comfortable. The staff were attentive and professional

United KingdomBreakfast was very good lots of choice... But downside was the food was no where near hot enough we were at breakfast quite early so should have been a lot warmer. Such a shame to ruin the lovely food with it being nearly cold.
upgraded when we arrived which was nice. Although the room is quite high. Lots of stairs wouldn't advise if not very agile.

GermanyUnfortunately doors were not cushioned so other customers slamming doors when entering their rooms late at night woke us up. We found the room was quite warm but could not set up the aircon to below 19°C (centralised heating) so we left the window open instead, which meant that we were again woken up by the noise of the bin collection. We are aware that this is not the hotel's fault, though.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Quick check-in and check-out. Clean and very comfortable room with nice tea facilities, complimentary water, biscuits and luxury toiletries. Rich continental breakfast buffet with option of cooked breakfast. Good location, close to town center. Amenities, shops and restaurants are nearby at walking distance.

United KingdomConstant pestering by text and e mail to pre check in including requests to supply my bank account details which make me uneasy and I won’t do for security safety reasons. I don’t agree with the mandatory taking of a card payment £50.00 in case I damage the room which is not a good start at a 4 star accommodation to assume your client may be irresponsible in their stay. I stated I would pay cash for any extras but that was not acceptable.
Good quality tea coffee and selection of milks inc non dairy, biscuits and popcorn was much appreciated. Comfortable bed and very clean.
