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 KingdomWell, although the price isn't ridiculous, you're getting the bare minimum. You get what u pay for. Everything additional that is usually included in better hotels comes at a cost. Breakfast u must pay for, even wifi you pay for. I feel like there's jammer blocking my mobile internet plan , forcing me to pay for the hotel wifi . U might as well pay more at a premium hotel. It's close to the airport but its also close to the main highways and if u need to leave, u can't just walk or get eslz accest to trains or buses because it's too far from shopping and all that. Kind of in the middle of nowhere. Breakfast is only till 9.15. I've been to places where it's up till 11. In the end, I think it's designed for an overnight who needs to head back to the airport, or just somewhere to stay until u find something better.
The rooms are clean, it's nice, cozy everything works I guess. U dont have to pay right away, u can pay when u get to the hotel. . Its close enough to gatwick airport , so the taxi doesn't cost that much. The price wasn't ridiculous even though it's close to the airport There are options for parking at a cost.

United KingdomIt was extremely difficult to find a parking space as it appeared a little overbooked on the parking front. The Hotel offered a carvery meal but alas it was more like school dinners, watery soup, overcooked gammon or chicken, soggy veg. Worst was the Wine bought at the bar, dreadful cheap wine with a premium price tag.
Hotel is located just 10 minutes from Gatwick and offers stay and park whilst away. Rooms were adequate and clean, everything worked

United KingdomThe staff seemed pretty rude. The parking situation was atrocious: not dedicated parking spaces. After driving around the 'car park' I asked to the lady at the reception to advise where can we park as it was impossible to find a parking space (cars were parked everywhere, not only within the handful of dedicated parking spaces but also on the verge, on the grass), I was told that there were plenty of parking spaces available. The room could do with a deep clean as there were spider webs reaching from the ceiling almost to the bedside lamp.
The mattress was firm and the bedding was clean.
