Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomThe exterior or the hotel, especially the car park, flower beds and view from the back out of the breakfast room were rather disappointing and didn't reflect the interior of the hotel, staff and quality of the accommodation, which we could not fault. First impression are important.
The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. the rooms were very comfortable and clean. breakfast was very good quality and plenty available.

United KingdomThe condition of the carpark and outside of the hotel looked as though some maintainence was required.
The room was of a good size and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was also well sized and easy to manouver around. The hotel bar had a good selection of drinks and the staff were most personable. This stay was for a race weekend at the very near by Clay Pigeon Kart Raceway and this hotel is perfect as it takes just over a minute to get there. The recommendations for a near by pub were good.

United KingdomIt was a pity the hotel was virtually closed and we were the only guest that night. I'm sure when it is fully-functioning, there is little not-to-like.
The room and the WIFI were excellent. Unfortunately, the dining room and bar were closed and there was only one member of staff on site in the day.

United KingdomThe hotel is far from all amenities. The restaurant and bar on site are closed and the nearest place to eat is few miles away and can be reached by car only. Don't expect to find a table unless you have booked in advance, we spent our first evening driving around for couple of hours trying to find a decent place to have a meal and ended up going to off licence we came across and had sandwiches in our room. The hotel is perfect for a place to sleep only, not a holiday base.
The room was spacious and very clean although the decor was a little dated. The bed was big and mattress very comfortable. Sheets and towels crisp white. Very quiet for a good night sleep. The bathroom was spotless, excellent water pressure. We had everything we needed in the room. A small fridge would have been very useful especially as there is no bar/restaurant on site. Staff were very polite and accommodating.

United KingdomI arrived at 4.45pm and didn’t see anyone, but the cards and number of room was left for me by the entrance by the lift. The building felt as it was deserted as there was no cars in the car park around 6pm. Bar and main reception Both dark and locked. In the morning still no staff. one other car in car park.. not worth the money I paid as l didn’t get full hotel experience!
lovely sized room, huge bed and very comfortable, didn’t sleep though!
