Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomYou have to pay extra for anything extra eg bottled water or tissues in room, fridge, car parking etc. and the room wasn’t cheap in the first place. Heating was unnecessarily on and fairly noisy from the bars outside (until midnight and morning servicing)when opening the window. We did turn radiator off but still hot. Handles of bathroom door were falling off. (Did inform staff of this but wasn’t fixed)
Location was good as we had to be close to Russell's Hall Hospital. Room was spacious. Staff pleasant and the restaurant reasonably priced and reasonably good

United KingdomThe decor in places are a little dated but kept up very well. Service at dinner time can be a little slow even though the restaurant was empty, but the staff and servers are very helpful and accommodating.
Room was clean & comfortable. Amenities are good. Convenient to merry hill shopping, the canal, and some of the business estates. I have used this hotel several times for work trips and haven't had a bad experience yet.

United KingdomThe room was very hot & the fan provided didn't really cool us down. No AirCon & the window didn't open. The hand wash & hand lotion dispensers were empty, but I suppose unless it's pointed out the cleaners won't be aware as the bottles aren't see through. Otherwise the room was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was poor for the price. No eggs, basic sausages, coffee machines not working, toast machine burnt the bread, poor choice compared to other hotels who charge a similar price of £12.50. The tables hadn't been cleared so we had to move dirty crockery to sit down. It wasn't busy or near end of service so I couldn't see an excuse for this other than they seemed quite short-staffed. Maybe it was an off-day & I was just unlucky but I didn't feel I got value for money!
Friendly staff on check-in. Good size room & comfy bed. Convenient location near the Merry Hill shopping centre. Added bonus of the leisure facilities, which we enjoyed, & a couple of pubs/eateries close by. We opted for a canal view which was nice. Very good value for money - even with the small additional charge for parking.

United KingdomHaving to pay for parking was annoying. The room looked tired. Items (eg TV and mirror) had been moved but the gaps behind them not painted. Definitely time for renovation and upgrading.
Comfortable beds. Very close to Merry Hill shopping centre and the Black Country museum. Great breakfast. When we complained about loud noise the adjoining room at 3am in the morning the staff acted immediately and the noise stopped.

United KingdomWould have liked to have a herbal tea in the tea selection. Only real thing to be aware of is that the bars the other side of the canal do play music very late. (It was still going around 1am when I fell asleep - although this was a weekend so maybe it was especially late.) Luckily the soundproofing is quite good, so with the windows shut it wasn't too loud. Definitely still audible though - it didn't bother me too much and I enjoyed having the view of a bit of the canal, but light sleepers might prefer to request a room on the other side.
Comfy bed, clean room and friendly staff. I enjoyed using the pool/sauna facilities. Everything is quite small in the leisure facilities but it wasn't too crowded even on a weekend and they provide towels/locks for the lockers so it was a nice experience. The location is probably easier to access by car, as it's about an hour's bus ride from either Birmingham or Wolverhampton. (Only a few minutes walk from the bus stop though.) That said, there is lots of interest directly in the area! The hotel backs on to the canal, where there are also bars etc. On the other side, it's just across a couple of roads and a few minutes walk to a big shopping centre where one can get virtually everything needed. And, the nicest surprise, just beyond the shopping centre is a big nature reserve, with woods, bluebells etc which was really nice to explore and all walking distance from the hotel. Lots of history too from the canal/mining days!
