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 KingdomHeating took some time to kick in but staff sorted it as soon as we brought it to their attention. Was the coldest weekend we had had for a long time.
Lovely location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Christmassy atmosphere.

AustraliaHaving blanket options instead of just a quilt would have been good. Didn't have a lift so had to lug our suitcases up several floors to our room which wasn't a problem for us.
The room had plenty of space with the bed and bathroom facilities good. Also had tea and coffee making facilities but no fridge or mini bar which wasn't a problem for us. It was located in a good area and only a short walk from the city centre. Had a lovely pub restaurant area on ground floor.

United KingdomOur room was above the bar, and was very noisy. We will ask for a room on a higher level next time. Also the bed and the pillows were too hard for us.
Location was good, food cooked to order and was very tasty. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomHave stayed a few times and usually okay. However this time we stayed in room 18 and the boiler kicking in and clonking was too noisy to sleep. It was quickly rectified as the night porter gave us another room.. I think they need to look into this though.
Lovely large room. Nice decor. Clean smart bathroom. Great area, nice pub downstairs. Handy for Cardiff, nice walk through the park. Location near the Pontcanna area with craft fair. Local shops.

United KingdomEnjoyed our stay. However some attention to detail in rooms would enhance the stay. For example, a few marks on bedding (though it was clean), and some paint scuffed on walls and radiator.
Did not have breakfast but the menu looked good and not too expensive

United KingdomThe pillows!!! I know people have different preferences so it wasn’t something to complain about. But both my husband and I felt one wasn’t enough and two were too many. Also rather lumpy. So not the best night’s sleep and I wished I’d brought my own.
Great staff. We had a warm and friendly welcome. The immediate look of the place was very favourable. The fittings and furnishings in the room were high quality.

United KingdomOnly thing we’d say is that due to being situated above the pub - it does get a little loud in the evening time (we were ok with this, but just commenting for those who want a peaceful night’s sleep) There’s not much else not to like - wonderful place, banging breakfast, cosy & comfortable room and close to centre of town. Definitely will return on the future
Even though situated away from the centre of town, it didn’t take too long for us to walk there (lovely walk through the gardens too) Loved that we could have breakfast downstairs (amazing value and staff were so friendly and welcoming) the bacon for us was the superstar! Bathroom was clean and modern and bedroom was comfortable size.
