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 KingdomRooms a bit small, bathroom also small and nowhere really to put toiletries apart from narrow glass shelf above sink. Took ages for water to get hot but was good when it arrived. TV was small and up on the wall in the corner - ok if in the bed nearest to it but could hardly see if in the other one. Whole place needs upgrading - window in bathroom didn't fit well so there was a draught and noise from road - carpets were stained.
Read other reviews so wasn't expecting a lot, however, beds were ok (pillows a bit hard), use of a large kitchen and fridge (good for keeping milk and drinks cold). Only saw 1 staff member but she was really friendly and helpful and did her best with cleaning but was limited due to what she had to work with - I was happy with the cleanliness of the bathroom etc There were exercise machines in the cafeteria for clientele to use.

United KingdomHopefully things will pick up soon after the covid closures and maybe they could consider offering a cooked breakfast.
We just wanted a safe place to put our heads down for the night, it was super value for money. Not exactly four star and probably could do with some work soon, but the receptionist was cheerful, welcoming and friendly. Facilities were okay, there was cereals and toast and hot drinks for guests to make.

United KingdomIt was next to the train line but there were no trains in the night so it wasn't a big problem.
Definitely exceed our expectations and can't really fault the place. We arrived on foot and were a little concerned about getting an evening meal but there were a couple of companies who did delivery and the communal kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cutlery etc. Also, the garage 200 metres away sold most things, including beer/wine and Superglue for my friend's broken boot. There's also a free pool table in the hotel so quite a pleasant night. Staff were friendly and helpful, rooms were clean and a modest breakfast of toast and cerial was supplied. Definitely value for money.

Easy to access at any time once you had checked in. The room was not at all cramped. Tea and coffee available in the room, as well as a tv. Non-cluttered layout and easy signage to where your room was. Nice outlook from the window.

United KingdomUpon arrival struggled to gain access to the property. Bar was shut and has been for a long time (yet still on pics) Kitchen is an industrial kitchen that is quite unclean for shared kitchen standards and still has all industrial cooking kit in there (Covered with blankets) Communal areas smelt and were not clean First room door wouldn’t open all the way as auto close fouled the wall. Bathroom double glazed window had the interior glass broken looks like it had been for a while still had sharp glass in bottom corners. Electric Shower was broken element had gone. Bathroom and Room generally dirty. Extremely dated with old small flat screen tv that remote doesn’t work well on and was filthy Overall wouldn’t recommend As for the second room most is covered above The female member of staff on the desk requires customer service training
There was a fan in the room When complained about shower rooms changed (see dislikes)

United KingdomThe room was in desperate need of updating holes in the walls and you can see where they had taken fittings off wall and not even attempt to put right. Light fitting in bathroom hanging off, When you flushed the toilet it was no noisy filling back up and took around 15 minutes to do so, so no one could use it straight after you,and kept you awake while filling, When you put the kettle on it would turn off as if it had boiled but kept on boiling so had to turn off at plug, pillows rock hard too the point you got neck and Headache and bugs in the room . In the bathroom pulled a cord thinking it was the light and the shower came on.

United KingdomWhen we arrived, when entering the room, there was a half smoked cigarette on the windowsill, given that both of us that were in that room didn't smoke, it wasnt nice to have there. In the morning, I woke up very early for work, I had the light on, and put the kettle on. That blew the fuse, and I had to get dressed and ready for work in the dark. Not good when it was still dark outside.

United KingdomOn average during our stay temperature outside was around 22 degree in daytime and 16 degree nightime - despite this - heating was on all the time and there was no possibility to switch off. No plates poor cutlery and dirty half-pint glass for a beer with sticky fingerprints on it - sounds fantastic? Imagine two ancient and rusty forks with long lock of hair between them. Disgusting. Mould visible on walls, bad smell after entering the building will be your friend for all of your stay. Nobody in a reception at any time of day or night - impossible o report any issues, Leaking shower cabin - water everywhere and if wanting to take a shower after 11pm - be prepared for cald water only. It was last time when we decided to save a little bit of money on accomodation price because all expenses - starting from pan, glasses, forks and clean plates we had to buy on ourselves in nearest asda Two bulbs was bright enough for a moth but not for people.
Car park was alright - probably for a reason that everybody aivoid accomodating there - it was always nearly empty, also located with good connection to motorways
