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 room smelled musty.
This hotel was well situated (a very short taxi ride from the Bradford Interchange railway station) Staff were pleasant. The cooked breakfast was extremely good. Room was clean and had all essential things (hairdryer, ironing board, toiletries) but it was musty - smelt like it hadn't been aired in a looooooong time - and the bathroom drains were emitting slightly unpleasant smells; again, as if this top floor room hadn't been occupied in a long time. I didn't need the conference facilities or ballroom (etc) but they and the lovely old staircases had an air of slightly faded grandeur.

United KingdomRoom very small for a Double. One side of the bed didn't even have room for a table to place water on and there was very little space to move around the bed! We weren't sure whether to have breakfast in the hotel, as one of us specifically wanted Eggs Benedict. I asked at Reception whether this was available and was assured it was - I was told we would just have to ask and it would be made for us - so I booked and paid. Unfortunately, at breakfast the waitress said that this was NOT the case and we could only have the buffet items. These were nice, but not what we wanted......Bar closes quite early, even on a Saturday night, which was a shame as we went back to have a nightcap before bed.
Lovely building and good location for Bradford centre. Parking free and secure, though limited spaces - we were lucky to get a space. Room clean and bed very comfortable - slept well! Quality of breakfast was good, and plentiful.

United KingdomThe room was on the first floor, and a lift took us to the first floor but then you had two small flights of stairs to go to reach the level where the room was. On that level, you then had a very long walk down MANY corridors to get to the actual room. I am an older lady and have arthritic joints and the hike to the room was more than I had expected. Anyone with a real disability, wouldn't fare too well.
The bathroom was particularly nice. Spotlessly clean and very well presented. Towels and bathrobes and slippers were provided and the shower was very powerful. The bedroom had everything except drinks in the fridge. It would have been nice to have had bottled water in the fridge. The wardrobe contained an iron and board, a hairdryer and an electric heater for those who feel the chill in the evenings. Tea and coffee making facilities were plentiful and there was plenty of room to move around. The entrance to the building from the car park, is a very fine example of Victorian decor with items from the grand old days of travel. Breakfast was included with our booking and we were not disappointed. It was buffet style but it was all fresh and plentiful. The sausages were delicious, the bacon lean and well cooked and a good selection of cereal and fruit juices.

United KingdomThe coffee facilities in the room are very poor. I would like to have thought that a hotel of this distinction would have had Nespresso coffee machines rather than instant coffee. Made a great stay into an OK stay. Get in touch with Nespresso professional and get some machines!
Loved the hotel, very beautiful.

Staff are personable and helpful and always go out of their way to make sure all is well. Room was comfortable. less than 5 minute walk from the station but there is a car park. I’ve stayed several times and it is my preferred hotel in Bradford.

United KingdomI get an upset tummy with a lot of grease so I couldn't eat the breakfast that they served plus the bacon came smoked which I also don't eat but wasn't given a choice. My friend ate all hers and said it was fine. They did refund me for the breakfast though
very clean room, a 2 minute walk into town and close to 'Spoons for food. Ample free car park, lovely staff.

United KingdomI hadn't realised the rate I paid didn't include breakfast, even though the rate was much higher than I could have booked it for when I was there. Booking in advance was obviously a mistake.
The staff were really nice and helpful. Parking was easy and good. Rooms were big.

United KingdomThe bathroom could use some updating (such as fixing the cracked sink) but it was more than adequate for my needs. There was a strange persistent buzzing noise in the bathroom and my room overlooked the building site next door but it was nothing that interfered with my stay.
The hotel is in a central location, close to the train stations and shopping centre. My room was large, comfortable and clean with plenty of power outlets. I didn't spend much time at the property or use the restaurant but the communal areas looked well maintained, and I had a professional and friendly experience at check-in. Overall, I was impressed by the accommodation and at the low price.

Bulgaria- Lack of plug sockets in rooms, everything is hard wired. Rarely found a socket to charge phones. - Windows didn't open more than 2 inches, and auto closed as it had old wooden windows. - Rooms were hot, not ventilated, plug fan available but was extremely noisy/not maintained. - Some rooms are big and nice, some very small. - Pricy breakfast (didn't try it) , may as well go into Broadway, many cheaper options. - Needs a complete refurb, looks like it hasn't been updated in 20 years. - Water options from bar in lobby, nothing in the room. Feel there should've had complementary in the room. - Some 3am noise from street (not hotels fault), is to be expected. - No extra pillows or duvets, tried asking many times but never got extra. (we did arrive later in evening, but feel they should have some in cupboards.)
- Location was great, 5 mins from Broadway. - Indoor lounge was nice, staff were exceptionally lovely when greeting and helping. Parking was good and easy. - Guests were lovely to speak to and greet. - They have events, line dancing was on this weekend. - The staff gave us 2 water bottles complimentry when asked for water sources, very nice.
