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 room hadn't been dusted in a while. There was a big crack in the basin and one couple woke us up at 2am having a blazing row that sounded like they were coming through the ceiling with all the banging.
It was very basic but for the cheap price it's what you would expect.

United KingdomThe room we had was in need of further renovation, considering that the hotel was meant to have undergone a renovation after being closed for a good time. (Painting and other works were being carried out while we were there) We also had a 1st night from hell with drunk abusive clientele. The staff at the hotel did not handle the situation well as the caos continued all night, and we were unable to sleep and felt quite threatened. Police finally came in the morning.
Situated in a good location for the town.

United KingdomHighlighted a couple of minor details to reception that could be improved on for relatively little effort. There was hot water coming from the sink tap in the bathroom but shower not very warm.
Price including breakfast was very good but reflected the hotel is undergoing renovations. Location on the edge of Oldham is perfect next to Broadfield Park. Free parking on site.

United KingdomThe renovations impact on your stay, no question. However, we were well aware they were going on before we booked. So the say anything negative would be unfair.
The convenient location. The view overlooking the park. The grandeur of the building… especially when it’s finished. The staff were pleasant & constantly apologising for the work going on. We would stay again.

United KingdomThe breakfast area was spacious but barely had any tables, which made the entire space feel awkward - add this to the almost uncomfortable level of silence and it was quite an odd experience eating there. Some light ambient music would really help give the place some atmosphere. The furniture was also an odd mix and in need of updating.
Spacious room and spacious bathroom. Plenty of pillows. Ample free parking.

United KingdomIt was freezing in the area where we had breakfast. The breakfast itself wasn’t up to much, it was edible, but the obvious renovations are making it difficult for the staff to do their jobs properly.
The hotel is undergoing major renovation & refurbishment & my review is based on that. The hotel is in a great location, it will lovely when it’s finished. However, the lack of heating in the bar area, lack of choice at breakfast did impact on my review.
