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...).

LithuaniaThe bed was a little too small for both of us. Everything else is ok.
Room was very clean. Smooth check-in. Good price but of course it’s a bit far from the airport.

United KingdomThin walls, other guests arriving late at night or being noisy, and door was loud each time it was opened and shut. Not the fault of the owners, but may occur during a visit given the nature of the accomodation. You get what you pay for, which is good value but doesn't offer the best of nights sleep.
Convenient place to stay before a flight, comfortable enough for the price paid.

United KingdomNot much hot water, this didn't affect the shower, but I washed my face in cold water, I left the shaving till I was home. Not really a problem, but others might find this bad.
I am one of those difficult customers, I stayed 4 nights while covering night shift at the airport, the owner put me in a better room that I wouldn't be disturbed in, this was much appreciated and turned out better than I hoped for, the area was quiet, not far from the airport but not affected by the noise from the aircraft, I slept soundly and was much better at my job because of it.

United States of AmericaTransport from Stansted airport to hotel costs almost as much as the room. The local bus doesn't run after 6 pm or on Sundays and when it does run is erratic, infrequent and unreliable. Airport taxis are 26.50 pounds for a four mile ride and you can't walk because there is no sidewalk/pavement/footpath along the narrow road.

United KingdomThe only issue with this place, both times, has been the very thin walls. It's wise to bring ear plugs! The first time we were downstairs, and for some reason it seemed like the only other people in the place were directly above us having a party. 😂 This time I was upstairs, but it seemed the only other guest was a lady that was put immediately next door to me! However by the morning there were a number of vehicles parked in front, so the place was actually more populated. In any case, it's very clear that Candy does what she can to communicate this and remind people to be respectful of noise levels. Truly, if ever you have an issue with the noise, blame the rude guests, not the owner. Sometimes we just get a bad roll.
This was my second stay at the Stansted Lodge. Candy, who owns & runs the place, is an excellent communicator and clearly cares greatly about her guest house and the experience there. Everything is as described -- nothing overly fancy, but clean, logical, you have what you need, the self check-in/out is so, so convenient, and the cost is incredibly reasonable. The location is excellent (this time I caught the morning train to get to the airport, last time we needed a 3am taxi), and both times I have visited the nearby Tesco express for some dinner items and a few things for breakfast (vegan and gluten-free... Not an enormous selection, but there's enough). This time I noted the nearby pub had a number of GF options, but was too tired to check it out!

SpainI would have liked the flexibility to change to a downstairs room, as I had neglected to request one at the time of booking. However, the restrictions from Booking didn't allow for any last minute room changes.
Candy was quite lovely and tried to be accomodating despite the limitations

United KingdomThe only thing I would mention which would make the hotel better would be some sort of wardrobe or a small shelves or something on the entrance. As currently there is nowhere to unpack your clothes into/onto.
The hotel was very good quality for the price-very clean throughout , the shower was amazing-very powerful and relaxing. The room size was good, and the check in process very smooth-love the decor of the rooms and the key hooks. The room has a kettle and some biscuits and a small tv. The temperature was nice and warm on arrival. Bed was super comfortable. Very good location and surprisingly very quiet. I managed to get a very good nights rest. Also love the phonebox outside ❤️

United KingdomClean and comfortable room just an easy 10 minute drive from the airport, which is ideal for early morning departures. My room had a shower and kettle but there was also a shared kitchen with cooking facilities and fridge if needed, and a supermarket and fish and chip shop around the corner. Communication from Candy was clear and quick. I would definitely stay here again if I need to be at the airport early in the morning. Thanks Candy!
