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 KingdomLast orders! :) Had some noise from outside, as our room was at the front but not too bad. Car park full and we were unable to book parking.
The breakfast menu had a choice range of dishes and the food was excellent. The evening meal was also excellent. There was a relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant.

United KingdomWell its a very old building with a lot of character and creaky floors but that does not distract from the ambience and the welcoming staff, yes some of the bathrooms could be upgraded, but not dramatically. Overall nothing I could say I disliked so overall I will give it a 9 but the staff a 10, well done
Breakfast superb, best Old English Inns/Greene King I've had and I have stayed in many GK Inns over the last 20 years. Zoe the Waitress should be working in the Ritz, most attentive, friendly and welcoming I've experienced in a UK hotel .Her attitude to all the guests was first class and she works such long hours on that shift.

United KingdomWiFi isn’t the best. The hotel is old with a few niggles but that’s part of the character which didn’t affect my stay. And I’ve stayed in a lot worse. But no issues really.
Staff were really helpful and friendly, good parking not an issue for my motorcycle, evening food was nice and the breakfast was excellent.

United KingdomWe have stopped 3 times recently, and all have been to the rear of the property. The smaller top room, no noise. The second room had a little background noise, but it was bearable. The third room above the entrance arch is a lovely room, very spacious, if you are not getting up early noise could be a problem especially on delivery days. 0600hrs wake up. Please don't be put off staying here. Everything else was very good.
The staff were excellent. Food is very good, and other eating places very close.

United KingdomSome of the rooms could do with being refurbished. Not the best place to eat if you have alot of dietary requirements due to being a chain restaurant
They were lovely and upgraded us free of charge to a room that wasn’t at all tired looking or musty.
