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 wooden blinds in the bedroom let in light, curtains as well might be the answer.
The location was brilliant. I understand what other reviews have said about the hotel needing a bit of TLC but I think you have to look at the bigger picture. The hotel has a history, it used to be the nurses home for the psychiatric hospital which was on the same sight. The bedroom was clean with good facilities; a comfortable bed and plenty of storage. The shower was great and there was a huge sink! The continental breakfast had everything you could possibly want.

United KingdomThe room was a little tired and bare. It felt like hospital quarters and after googling the building realised it once was. No mirror, wallpaper peeling off, shower holder broken. Fortunately the friendly staff and excellent location made up for this.
The location was amassing, right near the castle and old part of the city. Lots of charming places to eat and drink on your doorstep.

United KingdomGrubby and needs work doing. The hotel bar was not open. Also there was a wedding planned so breakfast was not organised well and had to wait for a table, no bin to put rubbish in either. Room very grubby and needs a complete overhaul. Also no lift so if you have luggage and on 2nd floor then could be a struggle.
Staff very pleasant and location is perfect

United KingdomThe facilities were lacking for the price. Also, the room was not very clean and we overall felt like this was not value for money.
The staff were friendly and the suite we were in was big and we were able to relax before bed on the sofa. The breakfast provided had plenty of options and was tasty.

United KingdomI understand that the hotel is under new management. Please replace the mattresses, a spring kept me awake!!! The continental breakfast would benefit by larger croissants or bread rolls to have with the cheese and meats We had only one set of towels and had to ask for another. There seemed to be a problem getting them so they finally arrived at 8.30pm The bar looked lovely but it doesn't open! Only on special occasions. Went over to the pub instead.
Location was great for visiting the Castle and Cathedral, lovely area around the hotel. The young staff were lovely

United KingdomThe hotel was obviously converted in the 1990s and it shows. The breakfast was minimal and would have been nice to have a cooked option. Unfortunately, the bar was under going refurbishment, so no real place to sit in the afternoon.
The location of the hotel is excellent. Easy to get to all the attractions and eateries. With probably the best real ale pud within 5 minutes walk

United KingdomThe beds and pillows weren't to our liking, not unbearable, but not as comfy as we would have liked.
The location is ideal. Very close to the Castle and the Cathedral. Some very nice eateries a short stroll away and also some friendly pubs nearby.

United KingdomThe shower had a head coming out of the ceiling so it wasn't possible to have a quick shower in the morning without washing long hair which I'd have preferred not to do on that day. The breakfast was ok. Once this hotel is renovated it'll be amazing which I expect with increase the price tag somewhat.
Booked specifically for the location which is great. We had a booking.com room upgrade to a suite which was really nice and great value for what we paid. Staff were super friendly. Loved the fact we could see the castle wall from our room.

United KingdomOnly two real issues were that the room had not been fully cleared of previous guests items - ear buds and full cans of drinks. The other issue was I was expecting a full breakfast to be included but was informed at check in that it was continental. That may well have been my fault for not reading the booking description properly. I also thought the decoration and carpets could do with a freshen up.
Huge room/suite was exceptional value for money. Reception staff were extremely pleasant. Location excellent. Good enough for me to consider staying again with my Wife next time for a leisure break.
