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 KingdomThe bathroom was clean and over the bath shower was good, but there was a few small maintenance matters that made it look uncared for. Holes not filled in under the towel rail. Black stick on skirting board breaking up and coming away. New sink pedestal fitted and the gap in flooring left. Mould on the grouting in a couple of places, which a bit of a well known product would have sorted out. These things are small and didn’t detracted from the overall value but niggled and if fixed would have meant no negative comments about this stay.
Breakfast was excellent value for money. A choice of continental and or traditional, fresh pastries and fruit each morning and a decent cup of coffee. Hot food was very good, well presented and cooked fresh. Room was a nice size and beds comfy if a little soft. Restaurant staff friendly. Food good and excellent atmosphere. I was worried staying in a pub and our room was over the bar but by 11.30 at the latest all quiet and peaceful

United KingdomOnly gripe was I booked a double room which I assumed meant a double bed not to single beds pushed together!
I was greeted on arrival by a lovely lady who was so friendly and informative, straight away I felt relaxed. The room was spacious and comfortable with a good quality ensuite bathroom. Food and drink at the adjoining pub where good quality and value for money

United KingdomPub was a bit noisy at night but can’t complain as I knew the room was over a pub. The food was a bit on the average side.
Easy to find and park. Really nice hotel over the pub. Room was a great size and really comfortable. Super clean! Great location right in the middle of Towcester.

United KingdomI was in room 20, which was quite compact with not much room beside the bed.
Great location on the High Street in Towcester. It has its own car park at the back, just pass your vehicle deals to the reception. The staff were friendly and helpful staff and I paid a great price. I enjoyed a nice pint of Tribute ale with my meal in the bar in the evening. My room was comfortable and very clean. Plenty of tea making supplies, nice towels, and comfy bed.

United KingdomThere was nothing I can suggest to improve the hotel. It would have been nice if there were lifts, but that's probably impractical in such an old building. The hotel is on a busy road, but I had specifically looked for somewhere in the heart of things.
A very nice hotel, situated in easy walking distance of local shops, pubs and restaurants. Free parking, great breakfast. My room was a decent size with a good en suite bathroom. The restaurant and bar were pleasant and not too busy, although I only stayed on a Monday night. The price I paid was very good value for money compared to what I would have paid to stay in a city centre hotel. The staff were all polite and helpful.

United KingdomBar prices seemed high, nearly £17 for 2 lagers and a small Pinot Grigio. £12 for a full cooked breakfast also seems a bit OTT, although there was plenty of it. trying to find a parking spot is difficult if they`re busy, not what you want when it`s pouring with rain.
Room was clean and surprisingly quiet, given it was facing the road. 3/4 size bed was a better option than a single bed. extensive menu for food and friendly obliging staff.

United KingdomIt was a bit tired, especially the bathroom, but the bed was comfortable.
Had a car park which was essential. Was in central location. Was a Greene King which we knew was a comfortable hotel. The bedroom was adequate for a one night stay. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The car park was full when we arrived but a member of staff came out and found us a spot to park. Breakfast was excellent with good hot choice.
