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 KingdomNothing really. I honestly cannot fault any aspect of the hotel although I have never had breakfast as I work till about midnight so I sacrifice breakfast for more time in bed but there is an excellent coffee machine in the room so all good.
This is the third time that I have stayed in this hotel and I always find it such a good place to stay. The staff could not be friendlier and as I have found a room that I love they have made a note on my name and I always get the same room which has a great jacuzzi bath. Great after a long days work!

SerbiaWi-Fi internet is not so good, and it should be AP in every room, but it can finish needs. Wi-Fi should be better set up and have some improved level of protection. For the average user, it is not so big issue.
The room is very clean, big, and comfortable. Breakfast is a standard buffet but it can be more diverse. The location is very good at walking distance from the railway station and near to the center or old town.

United StatesWe had a three or four day stretch of rain, often hard, always unpredictable. Can't blame the hotel for that; it's just Dutch weather.
During planning, it was hard to determine the quality of this selection. The hotel is immaculate, well-staffed, well-located and provides a full selection breakfast. Even little things like loaner umbrellas were provided.

United KingdomBreakfast wasn't kept an eye on so lots of items had run out, i asked for bacon and was told I will ask the chef came back No , no more but I said there is an hour to go. So I asked reception and was then told about 10 mins after 15 was told another 10, 30 min later very crispy bacon appeared. Breakfast staff wasn't great but other than that lovely hotel,we will return but maybe not have breakfast.
Reception staff were great, I was given a disabled room which had everything i needed,and was very clean. Great location to the town as visiting relatives.

United KingdomRoom dated and worn. Bedside table lights not working; bedside table hanging off the wall showing cables; drawer with broken handle. According to the description of facilities, the room should be equipped with a minibar but this was just a fridge. I had a late arrival and the hotel had absolutely nothing to offer in terms of refreshments; not even a vending machine. Staff apologetic and suggested I could either go into town to try and find a ‘snackbar’ that was still open, or use one of the glasses in the room to drink (actually good quality) tap water.
Good location, very close to railway station. large rooms. Friendly staff.

United KingdomRooms and hotel in general felt a little tired. Although comfortable enough, the room we stayed in looked in need of a spruce up as did other areas of the hotel. However if using this hotel as a "base" and not spending the majority of our time in the hotel itself during our stay this was not a major impact for us.
Great location just on the edge of the city centre. Friendly and welcoming staff who are all happy to share local knowledge with the best things to see and do within the city.
