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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The hotel doesn't have a kettle or coffee and tea facilities and when we ask about it ,they said that are too many rooms to buy for but we can ask in the reception if we want one and they will give us.
The character of the hotel.The location ,it is in Stourbridge High Street ,very close to the bus station as well as the subtle train to Stourbridge Junction train station.

Perfect location within the town, easy access to the M5. Staff were exceptional, friendly and informative, particularly Amit. Room was clean, comfortable and functional. Thai food for dinner was excellent, as was the full English breakfast the next morning. Exceeded expectations for a 3 star hotel, would definitely return!

The bathroom had recently been refurbished and the friendly gentleman who runs the hotel with his wife asked me how our stay was, when checking out. Only a small downside is that there weren't any towel rails or door hooks in the bathroom to hang clothes/towels when having a shower, so I had to place everything in the sink. He thanked me for my feedback & said would pass this on to the company who own the hotel, so overall nothing major.
Comfy beds, crisp clean sheets & towels, hot shower & good choice of brekkie, which we could enjoy at our leisure. Well priced bed & breakfast for the night in a historic hotel with free parking. Central & easy to find.

Some little things (that didn't really bother us for one night) no kettle / tea coffee making facilities, no glass in the bathroom, decor a tadge weary and walls stained, the toilet roll in a position that even Olga Korbut in her day, would have struggled to reach.
Lovely welcome, a much bigger place than it looks from the outside, we got the feel it is in the middle of a refurb, for the price great.

A little loud around the hotel at times, hearing other guests and sounds outside the windows, but understand that it's an old building. No tea or coffee facilities in the bedroom, which was fine, but would have liked a glass to be able to pour myself a glass of water without needing to leave the room.
A decent price for being a central Stourbridge location. Parking on site was very helpful. Wifi had a good signal in my room.

That there was no tea,coffee facilities or glasses for drinks if needed.
Room was clean and tidy. Basic, no drinks/refreshments. Floors bit squeaky. Looked bit on slant going by rails on walls. Overall was adequate for our needs. Didn't eat or drink there, so I can't comment. Walked to weatherspoons. Would go back, for price and value.
