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 KingdomOur room faced the street, and we were unlucky enough to be woken up several times by loud voices in the street, and also by someone banging on the front door at 2am because they must have forgotten their door key. The window is east facing, and the curtain lets in a lot of light, which woke us up extra early. So I would definitely ask for a room at the back next time.
The location is very good if you want to be right in the middle of town, and it is great that it comes with free parking spaces. The room was quite large and comfortable, and breakfast was generous. The staff and ambiance are very friendly. This is a rather lively place, more suited to people who don't mind music being played late in the pub downstairs than to people who are looking for a quiet place.

United KingdomWhen the shower was turned on the shower head would fall out of it's holder so you had to hold it while having a shower.
All staff were very friendly and everywhere was clean. Having a bath in the room and being able to have a long soak after walking around all day was a real bonus! The breakfast menu had a good range of options and was all cooked very well and tasted lovely. The Vestry is in an excellent location and is just a short walk from the centre of Chichester. We stayed on a Tuesday and Wednesday evening and didn't hear any noise from the bar below.

United KingdomWe were warned that Thursday could be disco noisy until the early hours, earplugs were thoughtfully provided, but the noise exceeded all expectations. There is nothing that can be done about this (even the bed shook!) But ensure that the warning is made VERY prominent in promotional material. Would stay again if a stay could avoid 'noisy' nights.
Breakfast was excellent, cheerfully served and a good selection of fresh food. All the staff we encountered during our stay were friendly and proactive. Lovely big room and spacious bathroom. Well stocked hospitality tray in our room.

PortugalThe local Chichester one-way road system! The Satnav took us to the front of the hotel (reasonable) but the hotel car park (only 10 spaces) is at the rear - a 2 minute walk but a 15 minute drive!
Very helpful staff at checkin and throughout. The room was bigger than most hotel rooms these days, plenty of room to 'swing a cat' should we wish to do so, the bathroom was also a good size. Complimentary tea/coffee etc was plentiful. The large bed was exceptionally comfortable, the room was warm. The hotel is right in the centre of town and only a few minutes work from shops, cafés and the tourist locations. The train station is only about 100yds over a footbridge (at the rear of the hotel). The individually cooked 'full English' breakfast is highly recommended. The pub on the ground floor of the building looks most interesting but unfortunately we had no free time to sample it - we were warned that it gets very busy and noisy on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

United KingdomAlthough the Booking website says they have a music licence until 3am on certain nights I think it should be more obvious at the time of booking. Ear plugs are provided in the room but it’s still possible to hear the music.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, good cooked breakfast and the rooms clean and comfortable. Parking is a bonus in the city centre.
