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 KingdomDid find hair's on arrival in the bathroom which was disappointing as the place is clean throughout the building. But nobody came back to us the next day to explain anything about it. Selection on the mains is limited not much choice.
Location is great an the building is lovely, Chester on the doorstep is great. Good selection of drinks. Lovely walks nearby

United KingdomOnly note, we were located not far from the main public pub toilets. There is a guest access door that is sound proofed, barely any noise passes, but you can hear electric hand dryers going coming through the walls. Dull me, reckon they are the Dyson type as short blast and not on a timer. Now in a time gone by I wouldn't hear this as I'd be in the bar til last orders with a late bedtime. But being in bed at 7, browsing the phone opens a new world. Not overly noisy but being a room closer could of been problematic with a little one.
Our first overnight "hotel" stay with our 3 year old, usually Airbnb but a zoo trip was late planning and booked this last minute with minimal baggage required. Check in was a breeze, The room was warm, well prepped and clean. Big proportions so plenty of room (room 2). Evening meal was lovely, then turned in at 6:30, in bed by 7 (rock N roll). Beds were comfy and to say it was early when we went up, next to no noise from the pub/dining room below. Breakfast was varied with all the usual cereal and hot cooked on offer. My son fancied cheese for some reason after his cereal and toast. The very helpful young man made every effort to accommodate and brought him some cheese, perfect. 12 I clock checkout worked well, took advantage of a stroll on the canal. We had planned for a Sunday roast before leaving but a filling breakfast left no room or appetite. Will be back on the next zoo trip.

United KingdomHigh cobwebs but didn’t effect our stay in the slightest it sent my daughter on a hunt for spiders lol
The service from staff, the night porter was extremely helpful and polite. The room was modern and up to date and well stocked with essentials. The room was spacious and the right type of layout for a sofa bed and double in one room. Everywhere was clean and house keeping tidied for us the inn was not noisy considering it was a Saturday and Sunday night stay we was located above the bar and couldn’t hear any noise, not to far away from the amenities that we required.. was a bit dubious about staying in a inn but it was a better stay than a hotel and better service than I’ve ever been given in any hotel, I will defiantly stay again for that location, the price was kind to me and I’d like to say a big Thankyou to the night porter as he didn’t know my daughter has autism and he was kind without having to explain my daughters needs to much. Very understanding Thankyou to all

United KingdomOnly thing we could have benefitted from was a fridge in the room to store some milk but staff were happy to work around it a different way so it wasn’t a negative as such!
It was a great sized family room for a reasonable price. The food looked fantastic, if we weren’t visiting family we would have dined in!
