Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

For me, the room was just too warm. I've stayed here before in colder months, and it's lovely. The room aircon would only go to 19 degrees.
The staff are fantastic here, they can't do enough for you. The rooms are a good size too.

Only thing I didn’t get was a good couple of hours sleep, partly my fault as I kept waking up.
When I first walked in, I was greeted by this lovely man who helped me with questions and answers. The lifts were difficult to use, the room was standard, nice tv, good window view. Couldn’t really complain

Breakfast timing could be extended. The fridge in my room had a nasty smell emanating into the room parking is difficult to organise and was charged £30 for parking outside hotel. I had no alternative as I didn't want to park and walk with my children to and from the hotel. Sofa bed mattress was very thin could feel the springs through.
Communication before stay was great staff were great friendly welcoming breakfast selection was fantastic. Extra bed and sofa bed set up on arrival.

Advertised as having streaming services, like Netflix, however this was not the case. You can watch Netflix if you sync your laptop/phone screen to the TV but that isn't always ideal. Streaming services was one of the main selling points for us so we were left disappointed. Half of the TV channels do not work. Food is delicious but the main portions are relatively small. A lot of the staff speak very poor English, not even basic English, which resulted in a few awkward conversations and encounters. Rooms were also very warm and air con made very little difference and we were unable to go below 19C on the thermostat. Obviously wouldn't be a big deal outside of the summer months.
Great location, friendly staff who hold themselves to a high standard, decent rooms, tasty varied food options. Easy to get assistance whenever needed. Room service was great and easily accessible. Couldn't hear any other guests at all which was very nice and felt very private.

Not anything to do with the hotel but they suggest parking in the NCP new street car park, as it is the closest and you get a discount.However, it's not the best and on leaving I saw several cars that had been broken into.
The location of the hotel was perfect and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

The fridge didn't work, we wanted to bring in some of our own late night snacks but couldn't because of it, no big deal but it was a shame. The shower head was a little filthy and we had to clean that unfortunately
The view! It was incredible and the night time viewing of the city made it worth every penny. The bed was comfy and the place was great.
