Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 walls in the rooms are paper thin so if you're a light sleeper, take ear plugs! The rooms are clean and tidy but quite dated. The disgusting toilet brush in the family changing room needed changing about 50 years ago.
All of the staff were really friendly. Great location and the included pool was fun for our 6 year old. We didn't eat at the restaurant but it looked busy. If you forget anything, Sainsbury's is a 5 minute drive.

United KingdomOverall the breakfast was lovely ... I would have liked ordinary marmalade the marmalade you offered contained Sorbitol and I can't eat that and pretty sure many others can't either .. Its a laxative Didn't like the radio blaring out on a Sunday morning. But staff were helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe only snag was the range of food on the menu at the restaurant could be added with a pasta meal.
Loved the building and plenty of car parking spaces. The building was very spacious. The reception staff especially Sharon made us feel welcome, the staff at the bar were accommodating and helpful too. The swimming pool and area was clean and staff welcoming.

United KingdomThis is not directed at this location only. And its just an observation. Why do they not have toilet brushes in the bedrooms
I loved the fact that they have an all-day menu, so no matter what time you arrive ( within reason) you have a high probability that you would be able to get something to eat. Varried menu. Lots of choice. Also catered vegan customers. I requested an omelette at breakfast, and this was made lovely . The ladies only sauna room located inside the changing room. The facilities are spotless The customer service level at this Branch is outstanding.

United KingdomWine served in bar is truly diabolical quality. I bought a large glass of Chardonnay to take to my room and it was akin to vinegar. Lack of lifts - I was on an upper floor and had heavy bags, no offer of help forthcoming.
well appointed room, very clean, great bed and linens. Didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on quality of food and service. Lots of parking spaces available.
