Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomNothing, it was all excellent. It was great value and exactly what I needed.
Brilliant, convenient and central location, a very spacious building in excellent condition and everything was clean. I liked all the details such as the beautiful lift and the kitchen/reception/lounge with its quirky decor, leather sofas and bookshelves. Free tea and coffee 24 hours and free cereal. I will definitely recommend to anyone who may be staying in Bristol.

Fabulous place to stay, the team are absolutely lovely, the place has a very nice welcoming vibe. Rooms & bathrooms spotless and great to have the kitchen. The open plan kitchen, lounge & reception creates a nice armosohere. Easy walking distance to everywhere.

NetherlandsThere is no socket in the bathroom, so a girl cannot dry her hair of do it properly. In addition, in the room I had a socket, but no mirror to see what I was doing. Apart from that, it would have been nice if there were more hooks to hang clothes on.
For a hostel, it was very clean and proper, with decent bathrooms! I think it was of high standard.

United KingdomExcellent location in the city centre, close to local amenities, super passionate staff, and clean facilities. The room my partner and I stayed in boasted a comfortable double bed with clothes storage in a large room, shower rooms were clean and accessible. Free luggage hold between check-out and our bus to the airport, and a lovely social room downstairs with free tea & coffee! Easily the best place we’ve stayed in when visiting Bristol, would not hesitate to return.

United KingdomTriple bunks - not easy to get into the top bunk & I was moved beds without anyone telling me until after the new group had been let into the room. Earbuds went missing as a result of this move.
The staff were lovely, especially Shazzy. Great location in the city centre. Good value for money.

Hong KongThe triple bunk beds are a little short so each bed is quite close to the one above. Hard not to disturb others when getting in bed.
Vintage decor matching the historical building it has repurposed. The restored lift that has stood the test of time. And very modern facilities.

SingaporeA toilet ran out of water for the flush at one point but this seemed like just an unfortunate fluke.
Possibly one of the friendliest places I’ve ever stayed with. Welcoming atmosphere, good facilities, and everything was very straightforward. My room was clean, comfortable, and appropriately furnished. The staff were exceptionally kind and understanding.

United KingdomThe reason for not giving a 10 score is purely down to the shower. I was unable to decipher how to switch the shower on. What appeared to be the on/off dial came away in my hands. I tried to fix this to get the shower working without success. I re-dressed and tried a second shower room, and the same thing happened. This was beyond frustrating as this occurred at approximately 01:30 in the morning. I re-dressed to seek assistance from reception, who didn't hesitate to come and assist. The receptionist indicated a mechanism at the top of the hose pipe that needed to be twisted for the shower to work. I have stayed in several various accommodations and have never witnessed this before. I mentioned that it would be beneficial to have a small sign indicating how to use the shower, as I am sure I was not the first to have difficulty with this. Other than this issue, a very pleasant stay.
Warm welcome from receptionist. Cleanliness, upgraded from a Single to Queen Room that was appreciated. Large room, comfortable bed, nicely designed room, minimal but stylish.
