How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

This is a very nice and convenient place to stay, though it could do with a bit of updating, looking a bit tired in places. As I said breakfast choice was good, apart from my bacon, I assume had been precooked and was inedible.
I was a late arrival at 23.00 (by arrangement). The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was large in comparison to some I’ve stayed in, facilities were good. Great sized bath towels too. Breakfast had a good choice, I decided to have a full English, it was okay, the bacon had obviously been cooked for some time as it was hard and inedible. The rest of it was fine.

We were on the ground floor and a family with children were directly above us. From around 5:30am I could hear the children running around.
Checking in was very quick and the staff were very welcoming. Room was nice, bathroom very spacious. Breakfast was £12.50, the choice was good and very tasty.

Lacking organisation on occasion e.g. staff availability at key times to serve / top up breakfast items. Layout of breakfast items and coffee machine means it gets very congested in one corner as you can’t get to the butter fridge / juice / yoghurt etc if people are using the coffee machine.
Spacious and very comfortable rooms.

They add a 12.5% gratuity to your food bill - noted in very small print at the bottom of the menu. Would have given them a 10 but for that.
Easy parking, staff were attentive and helpful, the room was clean and fresh - overlooked the courtyard. Food was very good indeed - we had an evening meal and breakfast.

The breakfast was very slow and I had to wait 10 mins longer than the rest of my party for a similar order. So I sat there waiting while everyone else was eating. Also all the breakfast orders had mistakes and some items were missing and replaced by others. eg. I didn't get any bacon or tomatoes which I ordered. my sister gave me some of hers so that I didn't have to wait ages again. The room was a bit scruffy in places e.g. broken toilet holder, towels had slight stains.
The room was comfortable and quiet. The evening meal in the restaurant was excellent and the service was impeccable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The mattress was too hard The exterior doors into the main part of the hotel ( this Is away from the old part) stuck, we had to get receptionist to let us in, luckily he was strong, in the end they left the exterior door open, not necessarily safe. The wine and beer selection was not great, surprised at the low quality of the wine by the glass
The room was spacious and clean with a decent sized bath and shower. We ate dinner in the Hotel on the 2nd night and it was excellent, a pork chop in a mustard sauce with mash and veg, very good indeed. The location is great for a trip to London on the Oxford Tube

Self service breakfast needs trays. You have to walk back and forth to the dining area with a cup . Then queue up again for food. Not easy for us who have walking sticks.
