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 KingdomParking was very difficult, I had to park some distance away in front of someone else's property, and then move my car closer to the hotel later on. The host did say there was hotel parking somewhere but it wasn't clear where. There were some lights in my room I was unable to easily turn off, including an LED light underneath a rack that was actually broken and being held up by sellotape. All nitpicks, honestly, the room in general was clean and fine and nothing really bothered me.
Was away for work and this fit the bill perfectly - room was a fair size, all the facilities you'd need were present and correct and the stay was absolutely fine. The host was very friendly and welcoming, and showed me to my room and told me everything I'd need to know about my room (including, interestingly, the heat pads behind the mirrors in the bathroom that stopped it from steaming up post-shower.) The breakfast was decent too.

Very clean hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Parking was available along the street outside the hotel and other hotels close by. Room was comfortable, bed was big and good mattress, bath was big too, both fitted in quite easy. We both would be happy to stay there again.

United KingdomThe bar could have been better set up. It would have been good to have had a choice of at least one hand pulled ale and the prices were pretty high for a small town venue.
The staff were excellent; genuinely friendly and helpful and the owner couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome. The room was warm and comfortable and was spotless on our arrival. The location of the hotel couldn’t be better. It was just a short walk from the main town square, which had plenty to offer.

United KingdomThe shutters on the window did not cover the light coming from streetlight outside, it has bothered me a lot. My window was overlooking the main street, it hasn't protected from the noise outside, could hear everyone talking, I am sensitive to noise. Old windows. Better to have a room, overlooking the other side. A bit overpriced.
Hospitable staff, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very good, there are choices. Coffee is so-so. Room is on a small side, but comfy and has everything you need. I likes the table lamps in the places where they needed. Good bedding. Good toiletries provided.

United KingdomNo complaints at all but note that the hotel restaurant is only for breakfast - it is not open for evening meals. Wasn't a problem as there are plenty of places to eat in Richmond within easy walking distance.
Lovely room with character. Bedroom and public rooms all clean and well presented. All staff helpful and obliging.Hotel is situated in a quiet part of Richmond. Nice hearing the church clock chiming during the day.

United KingdomEven though the room good and bed comfortable the windows are not sound proof. I could hear the noise of the truck and cars outside. Even though the traffic is not busy but was disturbed the noise from the vehicles. The WiFi is not constant as well , the signal sometimes stronger and sometimes difficult even to connect.
I had a pleasant welcome from David. Check in was smooth and quick. David showed me the room and explained how things work in the room and was very helpful. The room was adequate for a single person. Coffee , Tea and other amenities were excellent. Bed was comfortable.
