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 KingdomParking lot all flooded. Arrived to find staff chatting and watching a football game, the receptionist had his back to the desk and we patiently waited until he noticed we have arrived. The people on the night shift were unhelpful, not friendly at all, it felt like we were doing something wrong for just being there. We asked for the breakfast timing and had wrong information. So when we came down to eat, the breakfast had ended already. When we complained, staff said we should have read the info on the card we've received the night before. Absolutely awful experience, all we wanted was to leave.

United KingdomAbsolutely abhorrent. The hotel is dated in terms of decoration, furnishings and attitude of staff. Our weekend away for a close friends wedding was ruined by our stay here. All of the rooms were boiling hot, the radiators were off but the piping around the room was hot and therefore outputting heat continually. The air conditioning did not work. Upon arrival we noticed one part of the car park had some mild flooding, we asked if we needed to park somewhere else but we were told it was fine and to leave our registration and phone number. On Saturday morning the flooding was significantly worse, I again asked what we should do and was told the hotel staff were working on a solution to reduce the water the car park and I’d be informed if we needed to move. We attended the wedding and upon return found significant flooding outside of the hotel, the staff shrugged it off and told us we could move our car, however at this point none of us could legally drive as we’d be at a wedding reception. In the morning the flooding was even worse and our car was completely stranded. I requested assistance and notified the staff I was registered with a disability. I was met with complete distain and basically told it was our fault for not parking elsewhere, even though the hotel as responsible for informing guests of any issues with the facilities. The flooding so bad when leaving that my husband had to wear bin bags around his legs to access his car. His car had filled with water on one side and caused damage to the interior. I requested the hotel refund us for part of our stay, they refused and said I must lodge a formal complaint. The hotel and staff are absolutely terrible, I would recommend anyone to completely avoid this hotel

United KingdomAwful hotel, we were in reading for a funeral, I thought I’d spend the extra on a nicer room so that we could at least enjoy the end of our day and relax, but we were incredibly disappointed. The old windows didn’t shut properly so the room was freezing cold, there was black mould on the ceiling, we had no hot water in the room so both had cold showers in the morning, the carpet was covered in stains and the furniture was old and tatty, there were no bulbs in many of the lights in the room, no sockets near the bed to plug in our phones, the dated tv couldn’t pick up a signal properly so stuttered constantly. Between the hours of 9pm - midnight there were people taking down a large canopy right outside of our window making a lot of loud noise/banging, and keeping us awake. Around 2am somebody was banging around in the corridor outside our room disturbing our sleep even further, all this on top of a very stiff bed meant we barely slept all night. The staff were very unhelpful upon arriving to the hotel, slid a form over to me and shoved a card reader in my face barley uttering a word, then roughly pointed us in the direction of our room without a single pleasantry. Overall I was absolutely disgusted with the room, and can’t express how disappointed I was to come back to this after the long, emotional day we had.
The room was large.

The Hotel is going through a renovation, well painting over the cracks to be more accurate. My first room had a bag of plaster left on the floor and tools all over the room, the 2nd room was covered in dust, had a broken sink and smelt of paint. The third room (i gave up and put up with it) had cracked tiles, screws protruding from the walls, tired fixtures and fittings and the air conditioning didn't work.
