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...).

Slight breach of Professionalism on checkin. As I was in the process of checkin with a very pleasant Receptionist when her colleague approached me and bluntly said " I have to take my colleague into a meeting now! Take a seat and the other Receptionist over there will check you in when she is free Ok". So I had no option to move from that desk and wait to resume my Checkin process, when the other lady was free. But I must add the Lunch servers were very friendly and efficient. Housekeeping doing a great job too. Thank you for the FANTASTIC COMFORTABLE ROOM!
What a delightful surprise with my room! Large bright comfy room , overlooking the river. The pillows were extremely comfortable. Everything laid on to make my stay relaxing and refreshing. The energy in my room eas so good, I had unbroken sleep for 5 hours. Onsite Complementary Parking.

Breakfast selection not great. Mini croissants and muffins looked and tasted like they were from lidl or aldi, not a gud continental breakfast. No outdoor seating area to have a drink over looking the river, so outdoor seating at all. Bathroom could dowith an update, especially the yellow brownish anti slip mat for shower as it should have been white. Should be replaced as don't cost much, very off putting when using shower. Basic 4 channels on TV no satellite TV you would expect from 4 star Hotel. Would not stay again. Would opt for Shereton instead same price but better value.
The staff are lovely and the hotel was very clean. Location lovely and close to amenities.

Room was a bit warm and the thermostat adjustments didn't seem to help much, but we could open a window so that was helpful. The swimming pool water and changing rooms were a bit cold for families playing in the water, good for swimming.
Family room was spacious and clean, perfect for a family of 4. Staff was helpful, access to the pool was great for the kids and not crowded.

The bathroom needs attention. Broken tiles filled in with grout needs replacing. If you have a bath as I did you can not reach the products as they are fixed to the wall and too high to access. No holder for the flexible shower hose. I did not. Hear an extractor fan working. and the bathroom got very hot steamed up.
Clean and functional. Good breakfast.
