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 Kingdomit was just a bit poor quality. bathroom door would not shut, no curtains, only blinds, no wardrobe, just a metal contraption that was more akin to a bird feeder. thin carpets narrow public areas, loads and loads of noise from upstairs and outside. Secondary double glazing of very poor quality. Very very cheap shower and bath fittings. Basically just a pathetic attempt at a Hotel by amateurs.
it was centrally located in Lancaster.

United KingdomUnfortunately our room overlooked a very busy road and it was too noisy for us. The room was soundproofed but we had to open the window. as we got warm and therefore let the noise in.
Stylish, clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Could not fault anything about the room.

United KingdomThe noise levels were awful & we really struggled to sleep. The partition walls they've put up are basically painted cardboard. A couple of the milks they had put out for tea & coffee were also curdled. Yuck! Also one of the lights didn't work.
The location was perfect & the overall look of the room was lovely.

United KingdomOn a noisy road - but then I knew that when I booked. I was not aware there was no lift, we were not told, and being in my 80s this is important. The staff kindly saw to my case, otherwise I couldn't have stayed there.
Helpful and friendly staff.

United KingdomThe pillows were the worst I have ever slept on. The heaviest duvet. Velux window above bed meant we got wet when it rained. The fan in the room was too loud to use, sounding like someone banging on a metal dustbin. The air circulation in the room was awful. Had to open the door to the room, overlooking carpark, at 1:30am as room too hot.
Room had the wow factor when we walked into it and the location suited where we needed to be in Lancaster

United KingdomUpon booking I requested a lower room as I suffer with Rheumatoid arthritis- I was informed by text on the day of arrival that my request couldn’t be met - I was put in room 8 which to my dismay was on the top floor - up 2 flights of stairs - the stairs on the way up had particularly high steps which was problematic for me to get up to my room The other gripe I had was that guests need to request room services by putting a sign on the door - I did this on the Sunday morning as the room hadn’t been serviced since we arrived on the Friday - by the afternoon the room hadn’t been touched so I texted the telephone number I was given on check in - a few hours later i was told that the room had now been serviced - when I returned I found that the bin had been emptied and the towels had been changed - the room/bathroom wasn’t cleaned - the bed hadn’t been made up and the cups hadn’t been changed - this meant that the cups hadn’t been changed for the 4 days we stayed and towels were only changed once! Really Disappointed ☹️

United Kingdomunfortunately the rooms have no air conditioning, fans or heating I could see, nor do they have opening windows, other than a small bathroom window. In the recent heatwave, this left the room as an overheated airless box in which it was almost impossible to sleep. Even the provision of temporary fans would have something. Disappointing for the price paid, not good value for money.
The room specification is fine, very nice and the central location was great.

United KingdomThe room was unbearably hot, no air conditioning and a tiny insufficient fan. We were there on the hottest day but this has been reported by others on previous occasions. The shower was not clean with previous occupants hair on the walls. The bathroom door did not fit and could not be closed. The “breakfast rating” on booking site is 9.4 but they don’t do breakfast!!!!!! The fire alarm went off at 04:10 the evacuation procedures left something to be desired. The alarm was caused by a previously known problem!

United KingdomThe room is not a hotel, it is a stand alone room in a converted stable, there are no wrap-around facilitates, even basic that would constitute a hotel. The WiFi did not work which was annoying. The road noise and disturbance from associated service yards meant I could not sleep past 6am in the morning. The sink was cracked! A microwave is provided, but no crockery or cutlery so broadly useless.
It was a room, a bed and in the centre ...nothing more than that. It was clean.
