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 bathroom is still a little dated and had some damaged tiles, but the shower was powerful and all clean with good towels. For the price, it was no great issue.
Pleasantly surprised given the current rating on booking.com. I booked due to closeness to the airport for an early flight with a good price. Although a dated appearance through reception and corridors, the room was more modernised, clean and spacious with good facilities. The food choices were much better, fresher and enjoyable than at chain hotels we've stayed at pre flights. It is close to the airport and parking was free. We will definitely use again.

United KingdomWe only had one pillow each and they were very very thin. I asked if there were any more and was told these were being delivered Monday so there weren't any available. The hotel was fairly empty and I wondered if there were pillows available in other rooms we could have had. This led to an uncomfortable night's sleep.
Nice location for what we needed and in a quiet area. There are amenities a short drive or walk away. The room was a good size and had most things we needed. Everything was clean.

United KingdomPillows very flat , would of prefect sofa instead of a extra bed in room as it was a double bed room for me and my partner, shower was bath over shower which I prefer just a walk in shower,The thing I disliked more than anything is that the breakfast room doubles up as a waitting area for the conference rooms and as I can accept it is a hotel/conference room. Center area was occupied by school children which, when you wake up in the morning and want your breakfast, I would like to have it quietly & that wasn’t possible, unless you were to come and have your breakfast at around 830 which then at that time there was not as much choice for breakfast items had we came and eaten earlier in the morning?
Size of the room was great breakfast selection pretty good and bed size was good

United KingdomOn arrival, the welcome was luke warm. Two people on reception, no one on bar duty! One receptionist was pleasant, the other one was borderline hostile. Took too long to provide 2 pints of beer. Breakfast was OK, although I had to search out the cook in the kitchen. To be fair, this lady was also tasked with reception duties on leaving and she was charming. If I had no choice, I'd stay again.
Handy location for us. Very clean room. Huge bathroom. Easy and plentiful parking.

United KingdomWhen I checked into my room, it was absolutely freezing cold, even with the heater on full blast. It took a couple of hours for the room to heat up. I was at the top floor and the shower was very low and couldn’t go much further higher, and I’m not that tall. Overall, it did what I needed for the single night I was staying.
Very conveniently located for where I need to be and also a good price. The room was clean and the reception staff were welcoming.
