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 KingdomThe place is looking well worn, our bathroom was clean except for the shelf behind the sink which was dusty and had cracks at both ends. The bathroom window would not stay open and there was ivy growing across the cieling from the window, never the less the room was comfortable and we had unpacked before using the bathroom, so did not change and are happy with the compensation mal upgrade offered.
Breakfast is good, and the staff very helpful and friendly. Mostly the room was fine. The hotel has character and an interesting history.

United KingdomThe hotel was nice enough, however we were told we had a "Privilege room" which is an upgraded double room and that made sense for the price we paid for one night, however the room we had felt like a standard room and extremely over priced. There was soft drinks in the mini bar but the one can we opened had yellow lumps inside it.
Great location

United KingdomThe hotel is very dated and in need of some TLC and a refresh. The room was clean but worn/tired. The breakfast was good but normal buffet style with a coffee machine would have been better to have fresh tea /coffee served. The Car parking was an additional cost which was surprising and unexpected based on the cost of the hotel room.
The location was excellent and he bar reasonably priced.

United KingdomThe car park was being used by contractors building at one side of the property. Whilst some changes were essential, and much was done to alleviate the situation, I felt the instructions given by the hotel could have been just a little clearer. Not a complaint, just something that might improve the situation for future guests, especially if they're travelling from overseas.
The room was comfortable and quiet. Probably the best sleep we've had in a while for a hotel. The staff were all helpful, in particular Kelly was excellent. My wife has particular dietary needs and Kelly ensured these were met, which made our meals very enjoyable.

United KingdomNormal secondary pillow. The chair had been sat on by an elephant hence the massive dimple. NO RADIO 3 TO LISTEN IN THE MORNINGS. Could not operate the dreadful air conditioning system. The restaurant evening staff need to be a bit more 'with it'.
Nearly all was good especially the sun coming in. The breakfast was enjoyable although the porridge I reckon was from an instant packet. Location was ideal because of the two locations I visited. The room and bathroom were very good. Good honest food.
