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 KingdomPoor shower in tiny bathroom with squeaky floor. Very meagre and poor quality shampoo and shower gel. Dirty windows. Difficult access as up two flights of stairs and then limited head room to access room.
Location. Excellent breakfast. Good tea making facilities in the room.

United KingdomNothing!
Very friendly hotel. Excellent location with parking free from 6pm to 9am virtually outside hotel. It’s a very old hotel so don’t expect immaculate paintwork etc but the bedroom was very spacious. Very comfortable bed and pillows and it’s lovely to have the choice of a bath and efficient shower. Everything was immaculately clean and fresh. Enough sockets to charge everything. Incredibly quiet considering you’re in the centre of town and no secondary glazing! Breakfast was very generous and delicious!

United KingdomNothing really-some of the furniture is a little tired but it didn’t affect our stay. Comfort and cleanliness is key and the staff are so helpful. I have stayed here several times and always come back due to its location and value for money.
Great location. Whilst no parking at the property it’s less than a 10 min walk from the big car park that is a fiver for 48hrs! Incredibly comfortable bed and excellent breakfast.

United KingdomParking is a bit of a pain (not the hotel's fault) but we received good advice as to where the leave the car (Rope Street car park, £2.50 for 24 hours).
Really lovely hotel, made to feel very welcome by amazing staff. Our room was lovely, and the bed was a great size and comfy. Gorgeous breakfast. Amazing views, and overall we loved it.

United KingdomFreshly made Coffee, would have been nice, and likewise toast.
The Staff are all delightful, and most helpful. The Room was fine for the money, slightly chilly in the morning, but the weather was really poor. I liked the ambiance, although it is a little dated, and needs refreshing in parts. Breakfast was tasty and ample, but I did not like the Coffee machine or the Toaster idea. However, breakfast is cooked to order which is great.
