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 KingdomCups were too small, mugs would be nicer. No decaff tea or coffee. A disposable kitchen cloth, and washing up liquid would be helpful. No glasses for drinking water. The safe was on the floor too low for me to get down to it and no instructions. Kettle to big, even for 2 persons.
Welcoming, friendly, helpful staff. Comfy, warm room. Nice shower room and fluffy towels. Compact little kitchenette, with full sized fridge, and a microwave.

United KingdomThe rooms are very outdated, we were also on the ground floor, right by the door which lead to lots of noise of guests and people outside the hotel.
The location was perfect for what we needed. The room was large and had most of the facilities that we required.

United KingdomMy room 214 was clean and very compact for a single person occupancy. However , it wouldn't suit a couple staying in it as doublebed is right against the wall. But perfect for a single person staying.
Staff were friendly and courteous. Tao was exceptional she went above and beyond. In returning my phone charger, that I had left.

United KingdomNothing.
Friendly staff. Very satisfied with our room which was much better than expected. Plenty of storage space - bed & pillows comfortable - very compact bathroom but had everything necessary & was very clean. The unexpected bonus which we didn't expect was the hidden kitchen facilities which were located in what looked like a wardrobe - consisted of everything needed from a sink, kettle, microwave, plates & cutlery - ideal if you want a takeaway or cook a ready-meal in your room. Convenient location for the town or university. Plenty of free parking. I would stay there again.

United KingdomDecor was a bit dated. There was a little bit of mould in the bathroom. Room did get cold and heater was at max but didn’t feel it. There was a lack of directions for rooms. We were on 1st floor but when coming out the loft or up the stairs there were several doors to small corridors and none were marked with numbers so I think we went down everyone to find which was the correct section. It was like a maze. A simple addition of indicating what room numbers were in which corridor would help. Room is very basic, but was reasonable
Plenty of parking, approx 20min walk from the centre. Polite and friendly staff. Clean accommodation. Reasonably priced for what you get.

The room was quite tatty. Mould stains on shower sealant and grout. That said, it was great value for the price I paid! The breakfast was good so no complaints from me!
