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 KingdomBed was not that comfy although I slept well. Room decor needs attention
Room was great value for money. Slept well on bed although mattress was quite hard. Join in centre of double bed (two singles joined) was very lumpy. We really enjoyed our stay for the discounted price we paid. If we had paid full price I would not have been as happy as décor was showing signs of age. This hotel will need some refurbishment at some point during the 5 years. Definitely recommend staying here if you can get a discounted price from their normal rates. Breakfast was superb! Live piano player during evening drinks was a lovely touch too. He only plays a couple of days at weekend though so check when he's on!

Location Excellent for the Theatre, Bars and Restaurants, Breakfast was OK I guess, nothing special. Drinks at the bar were reasonably priced.

United KingdomBreakfast left a little to be desired, bacon under cooked, sausage left in water and quite limited in choice for cooked breakfast items. Found it very difficult to get to sleep on the mattress that made a noise Everytime I moved and floorboards outside of the room made a very loud noise from people walking past who also continually let their doors slam until past 11pm. Group booking were quite inconsiderate to others in the hotel and made most of the noise. Floorboards in main dining room had diners moving as people walked past tables. Paid for a small double room and was place in a twin room!
Evening meal and service was fantastic. Location perfect. Stunning from outside. Service staff could not be faulted. Worth their weight in gold. Bathroom was a great size, room was clean even though not the type of room I paid for. Great little touches like the biscuits and toiletries.

United KingdomRoom freezing. Apparently issues with heating and all heaters had been given out. Had to relocate rooms. Then remote control wouldn't turn the TV on and off. We then couldn't access our new room with the key card. Spent quite a bit of time at reception trying to sort things. Plus I didn't expect the £5 parking charge for the car park.
The location, beautiful setting and hotel. Very clean. Good value for money. Stunning building. Close to the centre. Gorgeous rooms. So decorative and traditional. Really lovely.

United KingdomCleanliness - which was although maintained throughout the room, I did find a couple of stains in the duvet towards the end which was the only inconvenience I would say.
We made a spontaneous booking on the day so we were glad to have found this hotel in the first place which was a perfect b&b for our needs. Staff was very nice and polite. The location is great, accessible to supermarkets and market nearby (although the supermarkets close pretty early so we drove to a Tesco express at about 10-mins drive from the hotel for our snack needs). There is ample parking space although gets full into the evening and is chargeable (£5/night). The hotel is very old and rustic with beautiful architecture and very pleasant pieces of art around. The age of the building explains the old-fashioned rooms and compact size of the room (even though we booked a standard room). For the price, I would say it was a good deal as there was nothing wrong with the amenities we got. Did not opt for breakfast so wouldn’t be able to rate it. All in one line - I would say it was a comfortable and cosy stay at the Palace Hotel and would come back for a good deal. Bonus point: The reception was lovely with large ceilings and a chandelier which makes for a nice picture-worthy spot.
