Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThis is personal: I don’t like red lights from electric equipment at night so I switched off the tv at the wall socket.
Best breakfast at a hotel ever. My husband has swallowing difficulties and the chef came to our table to discuss options. Excellent food. The staff were amazing, both at the desk and in the restaurant. The room was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomArrived late on 17/05 and decided to go to hotel for a drink to relax before bed - big mistake. Atrium area are was a mess, tables full of empty glasses and no where clean to sit. I had to clear 12 glasses onto another table so we could sit down. We counted well over 100 glasses left on vacated tables. Bar was quite busy and this reflected the bar staff moods. Small bald bar man was spectacles was extremely rude, obnoxious and pretended to ignore my requests. Asked about gin and was given a blunt answer ‘ we don’t serve that’ no other gins offered. Brought drinks and was charged £13 for a brandy and coke plus £7.50 small bottle of cider. Looked for bar prices none at the bar area, asked the same bar man again and he snorted there were menus on the tables with prices. It is a bar not a restaurant so bar prices should be visible at the bar area. Ordered house brandy after ‘borrowing’ a menu from a table next to us, it seems the very miserable and obnoxious bar man charged me the most expensive price despite asking for the house as I was mixing it with cola. Atrium bar was a complete mess never seen a bar like this in 55 years and both staff were sulky and moody, probably overwhelmed by lack of staff as clearly indicate by the complete mess the area was. We sat there for 25 mins and none of the bar staff attempted to clear or clean the tables. Due to the negative energy, complete mess and foul moods of the bar staff in particulate the small bald man we choose to drink in a local pub instead nearby over the following nights where the staff were indeed polite and happy and the bar had clean tables and clear of empty glasses as it should be. More staff are obviously needed at the Atrium bar on a weekend and a refresher course on customer training would not go amiss. For this reason unlikely to rebook again next month when we travel back to the area.
Great location, very modern and super clean. Rooms were big and not claustrophobic and free toiletries. Had a safe which was great. Housekeeping were spot on and room was immaculate. Reception staff were happy, polite and accommodating especially on checkin 17/05 evening. Health club staff were both polite and accommodating and area was immaculate and super clean - hotel has just renovated the pool area. Lots of parking especially in overflow car pack literally just opposite hotel where we parked all weekend. Hotel is spacious, modern and welcoming.

United KingdomBreakfast the bacon and scrambled egg wasn't great but not bad .
Told the staff it was my sons birthday and they put a little cake and card into our room on arrival. My son was so chuffed even got a colouring pack for my daughter. Clean spacious room great for the kids to run about and the pool had only just reopened. Really nice facilities. Breakfast was great. The extras on the menu were included in the buffet cost so my kids go to have pancakes which they loved. Staff were very helpful and cheerful. Its a little bit of luxury at an affordable price.

United KingdomNo USB or plug sockets near the bed to charge phones and ipads, which was a pain. The pool was extremely cold and could do with being warmer. No coffee and tea available in room have to phone.reception if wanted them which is a nuisance when wanting a morning drink.
The hotel was so clean and tidy and the staff lovely and very helpful and kind. The leisure facilities are nice and again the staff are very lovely. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

PolandWe were lucky because on our arrival there was first day of swimming pool reopen, but there was no info on temporary closure during reservation process.... and swimming pool was one of the most important in hotel selection. There was no clock on the swimming pool, the reservation process of swimming pool should be more modern (e.g. mail, web form, mobile app). One day after late arrival there were no bottles with drinking water in room (somebody took used one and forgot to put refiled).
Very comfortable beds and big rooms. Renovated swimming pool with warm water. Good breakfast. Quiet. Location good, but only if you are by car. Daily refilled drinking water bottles. The room was well prepared, equipped with baby cot which we asked during reservation process.

Staff were friendly and helpful. It's hard to find a family room for 5 of us so this was great! Breakfast was amazing!
