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 KingdomBreakfast - the choice of food was good but the cooked breakfast was STONE COLD and had probably been sitting on the counter for ages to be so cold. We had a room over looking the main rd which unfortunately had traffic moving alright so not such a sleep.
The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly.

United KingdomThe health club wasn't quite as luxurious as I remembered. The guys on the desk were very friendly but they didn't give me a towel and I had to ask for one. Also there was some kind of exercise class going on and I could hear the music from my room and I was on the second floor (!) but fortunately it calmed down after a couple of hours. I think the stay was quite expensive but all hotels are expensive at the moment and I really enjoyed my time there. I couldn't turn the radiator down which meant it was very hot.
Breakfast was excellent. It was nicer than the breakfast that I had in a fancy, hip cafe in town. The bed was very comfortable. I liked the size of the room. I like that there were plenty of places to sit without having to leave the hotel. It was also pleasant talking to other guests - it made it feel friendly, especially as I was a solo traveller. All the staff were very friendly and willing and they helped carry my bags up to the room which made a big difference to me. This was my third or fourth stay at the hotel and I would definitely go again.

United KingdomThe heating stayed on all night, which I tried to turn off using the counter valve at the bottom of the radiator, but couldn't!! I still slept well, but the room could have been a bit cooler!! I also wanted a cup of tea, however, there were no little uht milk pots, as I like milk with my tea. You had everything else to make a hot drink, but said item wasn't there, which for me was a little disappointing!!
It was spacious and comfortable for the short time I was there. I slept well due to no noise or interruptions from other guest. It was a pleasant experience and stay.I would recommend this to anyone who is thinking of booking a room in your hotel!!

United KingdomThe food. Breakfast wasn't always replenished so didn't get the full choice of options. The quality was lower than you would expect for this type of hotel. The coffee machine wasn't working for 2 mornings and the tables weren't set so you'd have to scramble for cutlery from other tables.
The staff were very friendly and the facilities were good.

United KingdomDidn't like the 10% service charge automatically charged when purchasing drinks from the bar and asking for it be be removed. Was told it supplements staff wages. Better idea PAY YOUR STAFF A DECENT WAGE rather than having to reply on a service charge. Might help with recruitment. Badly stocked bar with regard brandy (1 choice) and no single malt whisky.
