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 KingdomAir con useful as room was stuffy but couldn't use at night because of the regular noise (light sleeper) so got abit sweaty. A cold bottle and a fridge wouldn't have gone a miss..
All staff put the guests first and were extremely pleasant and welcoming. Very comfortable bed, pillows and room. Breakfast was well organised, didn't queue long for a table and plenty of decent variety. Enjoyed the sauna and steam room.

United KingdomPool was good. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working and there is scope for maintenance improvements - such as missing tiles and mould above the flume bit.
Easy check in/out. Staff were so friendly especially to our little ones. Breakfast had so much choice and the cooked breakfast was prepared pretty much fresh in front of you. Rooms were really smart and clean-we needed a travel cot which was super useful Overall we were really happy with our stay, at a reasonable price.

SwitzerlandStaff were a bit stony faced and could have been warmer. The room was on the student route back home after the pubs and clubs shut so we were woken up by that
Room was very spacious and a nice view of the castle. The Italian rugby team were there and very nicely integrated into the guests.

United KingdomThe bedroom. It is extraordinary that there was no mirror with the dressing table. My wife expects to be able to dry her hair in front of a mirror. That is impossible at the Hilton. I was told that none of the bedrooms had mirrors. And why was there only whole milk with the tea/coffee? Skimmed or semi skimmed is much nicer/healthier.

United KingdomWhen we booked we were told rooms had a bath however they did not, we was then advised to use the spa facilities to find the hot tub was not working. The swimming facilities area is run down also and the changing rooms were dated and unclean. Also on check in it was so busy you could not hear staff and they did not really explain much. I feel also for the price of the room then to charge £32 for parking is wrong. The restaurant was nice but the menu is misleading also, £19 for a burger and then to be told you need to pay extra for fries is again wrong.
Good central location and clean rooms.

United KingdomThe curtains on the fifth floor corridor were all closed and it made it very gloomy, it seemed to be only that floor that had the curtains drawn, perhaps a resident vampire?
Lovely clean room, good temperature controls comfortable beds and pillows. The television in the room was a good size and had a good selection, and the food menu had good choices and after ordering room service the food lived up to expectations. I enjoyed using the pool and steam room on site and I would definitely stay again.
