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 KingdomThe heating was on in the room which made it extremely hot.
Breakfast was great, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The room was comfortable, we had tea and coffee facilities (and biscuits!!), it had a fridge too with water in it. The bar was also very nice.

United KingdomVery little ..... TV could have been a bit easier to fathom and (given its SKY box) could have had better channel access. To be honest though - so much to do I barely watched TV anyway! Service for dinner a little slow .... keep an eye out for solo travellers, there's only so much people watching you can do!
Unprepossessing from outside, really nicely done inside. All staff seemed to be on message and with conviction rather than because they had to be. Really good to see capable staff across all generations. Food was good.

United KingdomA few long hairs on a towel and someone trying to enter our room at 4.20 am, which is certainly not the fault of the hotel even though they were very apologetic.
The room was lovely and quiet with a really comfy bed and a great view. Got to try the restaurant food on this occasion and it was amazing, both evening meal and breakfast. We would always use the Tower Hotel when staying in lincoln as the value for money is spot on.

United KingdomService in the restaurant was slow at breakfast. The room was too hot for our liking despite turning the radiator off. We were asked to leave the key at the reception desk every time we went out but the desk was sometimes unmanned and we felt there was a slight security risk as anyone could have picked the key up.
Excellent location a short walk from the castle and Cathedral. Good food and a comfortable room. We would definitely stay again.

United KingdomNothing really. It didn’t have a car park but there’s large a public one directly across the road.
The location was excellent. So close to the historical part of Lincoln. It was obviously the place to be as the atmosphere was very lively. Not in a rowdy way.

United KingdomThe bed was not that comfortable, and there were not enough plug sockets available to use the lamp provided. However, nothing was a major problem and we enjoyed our stay.
Location was great, as were the staff breakfast, bar, plus our meal in the restaurant. We were also early enough with our check-in to obtain a parking permit for parking outside the hotel. A wonderful couple of nights in a great City.
