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 KingdomA softer chair to sit and read would have been appreciated but it was a minor concern compared with what was provided at a very reasonable price.
The location is lovely. The room was spotless and well equipped. Everything worked and the furniture and fittings were of good quality. A quiet location with easy parking. I was almost put off booking by some reviews about the access being difficult as there are no staff and several codes are needed. Having read the instructions send by the owner carefully I had no difficulty with access and was very pleased that I had decided to stay at the Custom House. The absence of staff was of no concern to me.

United KingdomWhat an absolute treasure. Custom House really does stand out from the crowd and really is the image of what a great hotel is. The staff are so accommodating and very responsive to messages. We took two dogs and being right next to the canal was great for them. The accommodation is quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is great and perfect for what we needed. Really superb.

United KingdomSuch an adorable hotel with a great location. Stayed here for work and I loved having access to the kitchen, although it’s only a microwave and toaster it’s more than enough to keep you going. The nespresso machine in the bedroom and kitchen is such a great addition too! Bed very comfy, shower super powerful and the location is brilliant. Thank you soo much to the team. I will 100% be back.

United KingdomLove the location, room was really cute and comfy, self service check in, so didn’t see any staff.. didn’t need breakfast. Huge bathroom will bath tub. Car park entrance was confusing to find, you need to double back on yourself and the signage on the gate is for the harbour not the hotel.

United KingdomNothing really to complain about.
Fantastic location, quiet and very relaxing, weather was lovely during our stay, sitting outside in the morning with a coffee and looking out down the river Clyde was a great way to start the day!! Bedroom was comfortable, we were in Room 6 on the top floor, made great use of the space, bedroom was comfortable, great sleep and was ideal for a weekend stay.

United KingdomNothing to add here. We really enjoyed our stay!
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay. The room was so cosy and beautiful, everything was super clean and the fact there is a little shared kitchen space on the ground floor is amazing if you need some cutlery or keeping your food in the fridge. Highly recommended. We'll definitely visit again.
