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 only let down was the bedding in the rooms. There was no mattress protector and the quilt and pillows were very flimsy. Ok for one night though. There is no lift in the property.
A beautiful building with lots of charm and original features. We liked the plaques indicating who used to stay in the rooms or what each particular room was used for. Gorgeous sweeping staircase. The rooms were adequate and clean although the en-suite was very small.

United KingdomI've used a similar bunkhouse in Cardiff, and for me it's now OK paying more for the privacy of my own room- no snoring, and nobody waking someone to move out of the lower-bunk they've booked to accommodate their mobility! Breakfast had a good variety of cereals, but the fruit bowl only had apples! Staff very welcoming.

It’s a beautiful property in a really wonderful location! Close to the railway and some fun pubs.

United KingdomI didn't get a choice on bottom or top bunk and struggled a little bit climbing in and out. There seemed to be a problem booking as my friend was asked to stay in a separate room even though I booked it for us both at the same time.
Lovely decor, very friendly staff, knowledgeable of the area, near train station, just what I needed for 1 night stay, even though top bunk was v comfortable and clean. Like the idea of curtains around the bunk for privacy. Easy check in and out.

United KingdomThe safe things under the bed were a bit clunky and loud, toilet wasn't that sound proof.
The hotel reception was very friendly, the people in the rooms were all nice and not scary. Loved how close it was to the city centre and the decor inside is lovely and arty. Really nice place I always struggle sleeping anyway, I did also like the curtains on the beds.

United KingdomOut of eight bunks I had to have the only one below a snorer and inconsiderate drunken individual whose phone alarm was continuing to ring. Thankfully karma played a big part and he dropped it from his bunk smashing on the floor.
Cleanliness and staff, bunk beds were very comfortable and room warm and clean. Amenities were excellent and the hotel was very bright and cheerful.

United KingdomNoisy residents, had 3 arguments between them whilst I sat with curtains closed. Noise until 2am, lights in all night, illness in toilets and water on the floors. Not the fault of the property, just lazy and inconsiderate guests.
Curtains in beds is always a good idea. Available lockers underneath (bring your own lock or you can purchase for £5 downstairs) and the lights on the wall. Great social hub if wanting to meet others. Very close to everything central, brilliant for anyone needing to be central.

United KingdomBed very hard, thin mattress and very squeaky being solid oak frame. Shower area small and large step out, a little dangerous if going to toilet at night. Small black wiry hairs in shower too. Floor wooden so very slippery if leaving shower. Some bedside lights didn't work and no wardrobe. Also had to pay for holding luggage-£3 a bag. 6 flights of stairs to room so not for anyone with mobility issues.
Location, size of room and antique, quirkiness of bedroom furniture. Plenty pegs for hanging and high wooden beams making room feel spacious. As room was on top floor, noise was at a low level and lovely views of roof tops and sunset sky. Lobby/bar area very nice too. Odd metal cage behind bed with tag in it saying don't feed us we bite and a picture if a hamster!?!?! Quite funny if a joke!
