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 KingdomBathroom needed to be decorated, decent shampoo and conditioner needed as room was not cheap. The room should have a little fridge and it needed to be painted. Also the hair dryer needs to be electrical tested as it hadnt been tested for a year.

United KingdomVery creaky floorboards! We felt sorry for anyone beneath us. The bed was just 4ft6" and far too small for us so we didn't sleep well at all. Another time we would book a better room. We were on the second floor and there's a very narrow, steep staircase. It didn't matter to us, just be aware it's an old building and there's no lift.
Absolutely wonderful, helpful and friendly staff. Great bar. We didn't eat here but the food looked good. Very nice room and very clean/tidy. The room facilities were great - tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, water, etc - some decent (and much more expensive) hotels have stopped doing these so it was really appreciated. There's no breakfast option but there are lots of places within a few yards. It's a lovely pub and we'd stay here again.

United KingdomOnly one single mains electric socket in the room so had to alternate phone charger, kettle, fan. It was very hot weather so a wider opening window would have been lovely, although a tower fan was provided to compensate. The hotel is about due for some redecoration in places but that didn't detract from the overall experience.
Great hotel in an excellent location easy to get to by train and tube.Checked in slightly ahead of time and was greeted by a very friendly member of staff. Room was comfortable and clean. The shower was excellent. Despite the bar being closed on check out I was happily served drinks while waiting to be met by family. Felt very welcome.Thank you. I will definitely come again.
