How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The only issue I had, which admittedly is rather minor, is the fact that the provided toiletries where lacking in quantity, considering they were meant for two people.
The location is superb, only a 2 minute walk from New Street station and and right the heart of the city. Our room was located on the 12th floor with a birds eye view of the circus and a great view of the southern end of the city. The room was very spacious and clean. The stuff at the reception was exceptional and we had no issues checking in and out. I can't comment on the rest of the facilities as we did not use them.

There was 2 of us staying, they provided only 1 loofah and 1 toothbrush pack. Shower head was outdated and water pressure was a little harsh. Also there was a welcome card addressed to someone else.
Room exceeded our expectations. It was spacious and had all the required amenities. 24hr room service which we definitely used at 2am after a concert. Staff were brilliant and courteous.

Not enough seating area to relax in bar and not very well laid out. Need to make it more comfortable and guests would stay longer because your prices are reasonable.

We weren't given the twin beds we requested. Breakfast was disappointing, I would have preferred a freshly cooked option rather than the buffet.
Close to Birmingham New Street Station. We got a free room upgrade. We enjoyed the views from the hotel.

Car park parking. No on premises. It was a fair distance to the hotel. Directions.can appear confusing. Ask for a 50 pounds deposit.which is refundable that's for parking, breakfast etc.
Location right in the city centre with plenty of amenities close by. Hotel staff happy to please and to make your stay special. Rooms clean. The even had a sewing kit and shoe shine to hand. Overall a plesant stay.

Someone was smoking at night in a neighbouring room or somewhere on the same floor. Couldn’t be bothered to notify the reception about it late night, though. Did let the reception aware at the check out. Nothing to do with the hotel itself, just a human factor, I suppose. Noise level was not the best at night as well, especially when want to have a rest after work and train travel to Birmingham. But again not much to do with the hotel, just Friday night, I guess.
Very nice location, just 5 minutes of walk away from Gay Village and Chinatown. Cleanliness is 10/10. Very helpful and friendly staff.

The air conditioning in the room was not functioning. The control panel had no power and I believe it was the same for the entire 8th floor. I was offered a change of room and a fan was provided, so it wasn't a big deal at the moment (as the weather is still quite cold).
The hotel is a fairly new build, so the rooms and corridors are fresh and well painted. It is in a perfect location; short walk to Birmingham New Street and the city centre. A great buffet breakfast; everything you could want and no rush to finish.

Felt the drinks options were not a good as hotels of same level I have stayed at, eg less choice and only hot choc for one when you have to Guests? And fridge does not appear to be working is that as card is not in if so feel it should be on separate power supply? To add context, I use dairy alternative and no where to keep it.
Great Central location, comfortable bed and quality bedding, good size room, great to have a bath rather than just shower.

That they say they have parking and still says on the website to park in the NCP car park directly behind the hotel because they have a discounted rate which apparently isn’t true anymore so I ended up paying £30 to park for less than 24 hours

Nice and simple and we were both given a complimentary drink at the bar. afterwards, we were treated to a live showing the drunkard antics of 5 people fighting, needing the service of at least 10 street wardens and 2 ambulances over a 3 hour period on the center of the roundabout our room overlooked. It was worth the room charge just for this alone. Top hotel, top staff, clean ok'ish price.
