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 KingdomSlightly bothered by the creaking noise of the floors when you walk but understandable as it’s an old building.Otherwise,I have no other concerns.
Very convenient location.Very near Manchester Victoria and few minutes walk to the city centre.Staff were all friendly.My room was in a corner in the 2nd floor(or 3rd.I’m not sure) so it was quiet even if there was a bar downstairs.Bed was very comfortable.Great complimentary breakfast too.

United KingdomThe kettle cable was too short to reach the designated electric point. The room was very cold. No long mirror or hangers, ok for 1 or 2 nights but not for much longer.. Manchester prices expensive compared with quality small hotels in central London.
The location of this hotel is very good being right in the centre next to the cathedral and a minute walk from Selfridges and Marks and Spencer. Exchange Square tram stop is also a few mins walk being next to the Arndale Centre. I had a single room with a tiny old shower "room" (cupboard) with a minute basin. I didn't bother showering. My room had a fabulous view of the cathedral. I did have breakfast which was ok.

United KingdomThe breakfast set up wasn't great. No cutlery, no sausages or hash browns and 4 slice toaster took an age to cook bread. Staff made me feel like I was a hindrance asking for hashbrowns and cutlery. When sausages came out they looked uncooked. Even though there was about 6 people waiting. Tables weren't cleared so we had to clear it ourselves.
Location perfect, 15 min walk from Man Picc & for Peter Kay at the AO arena (10-15 mins walk). Had food off the menu when we arrived, bit of a wait (45 min) but was tasty and decent value for money. Room had great view of cathedral. Bedroom nice, bed comfy, bathroom clean. Floors very squeaky though!

United KingdomThe shower was rubbish - a halfhearted spray down the back from a limp showerhead and the doors didn't close properly. The Q&A on booking.com repeatedly said that the breakfast is served from 7:30am but when I arrived I found it was actually from 8am. 7:30 already seemed quite a late start! I asked on arrival but there was no chance of anything early.
Unbeatable location - extremely convenient for Manchester Victoria. Clean, comfortable, well furnished, and my room had a beautiful view onto the cathedral with a blossoming cherry tree.

United KingdomNot a huge issue but the shower took ages to heat up. (Once heated up was absolutely fine though.)
The location was amazing with views of the cathedral from our bedroom. Lovely to be able to open windows too! Even though the bar was busy downstairs with music in the night, nothing was heard in the bedroom. The room was comfortable and well equipped. No hairdryer but have since read that we could have requested from reception. Bed was comfy. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were courteous and polite. So nice to speak to enthusiastic, helpful people. Perfect position for AO arena.

United KingdomThere was a problem with the Shower in my room, but staff took a note, so hopefully will be fixed for next person staying. Breakfast only starting at 8am was awkward for me to have and still get to planned work.
Bed was comfortable and location very nice. Made a change from where I normally stay in a different part of the centre.

United KingdomEn-suite was very very small, with the wash basin overhanging the toilet, so much so that I would be surprised if larger people would be able to sit on the toilet without leaning to one side. When I mentioned this, I got the impression that I wasn't the first person to raise this as an issue.
Location for central Manchester was very good. Staff were very good. Breakfast was very good. Great views of Manchester Cathedral from the bedroom.
