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...).

Shower in a bath for a suite (even though junior). I’d have hoped for a separate shower. The shower in the bath was just ok.
Great location and the junior suite was a good size. Bed was great as was the breakfast. Friendly staff and car park on site although small and very busy. Great views of the river.

The room was very hot during the day and the thermostat (I think) had no markings on it and we had no window to open so make me a bit sick. Check in is very late usual check ins are 2pm. I think 4pm is very late. Not enough choice with breakfast of rolls, croissant etc. Extra toasters are needed as there is a queue only there.
Room was fabulous 👌 all the little extras in the rook were amazing. Loved the shower and the view

Room too warm and window wouldn’t open. Handle broken. Carpet looked old. Bed extremely comfortable. Ground floor a bit disconnected- nothing smooth about it. Maybe it’s just ‘modern’!! Staff in all locations were lovely. Food very good. Hotel needs a good paint outside. Looks old.

Stayed in a standard room facing the front of property. Noisy outside during night to early morning with people talking loudly at different times just under our window. Room although comfortable and clean could do with updating, carpet was stained. Service was poor at times In restaurant at breakfast.
Great location not far from train station and a short walk to centre of town. Food is top class, bar and restaurant overlooking the Marina which provides a lovely picturesque tranquil setting. Rooms are a good size and very comfortable.

We dined in the Terrace restaurant (I think that's what it was called, looked like the roof could be rolled back). It was a free for all regarding getting a table but we did. Meal was OK. Annoying part was that we paid for drinks that were enjoyed by the people that had been sitting at the next table. We didn't see it until after we had paid.
Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good and location was great

There were a few stains on the bedroom carpet and no shower gel in the dispenser.
The central location is perfect for me as I like to walk a lot and everything I required was within easy distance. Value for money was particularly important and booking well in advance was seamless.

Parking was tricky when busy. The hotel room could do with some TLC in places (especially as it is a 4-star rating) as it's starting to look a little tired.
Great location. Lovely staff. Spacious room. Tasty breakfast. Lovely dining space with a fabulous view.
