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...).

The hotel charged me twice and pretended they didn't, even after showing them evidence. My company had to raise a dispute with the bank to get the money back. Looking at the reviews, it happened to other guests apparently. They simply don't seem to care. The hotel itself is a good 4 star, absolutely not a 5 star.

The hotel is due for touch ups. There is a disconnect between the restaurant and the rest of the hotel (Rooms, lobby etc) other than that we still enjoyed our stay.
The restaurant serving the breakfast was the highlight for me. Very tastefully done. The food was very delicious. I would definitely stay here for the restaurant experience again.

Very slow service in the bar area. A female waitress with dark hair and a gold /silver tooth? was very attentive, kind and helpful. We ordered truffle fries and a cone of dried out matchsticks were presented at our table. Definitely reheated!!!!! Sent back and a new portion presented. Our dinner in the restaurant was lovely. ‘DUANE’ our waiter was definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ He was happy, passionate about his role and a credit to your ‘Doyle’ brand!!!!! He’s definitely a keeper!!!!!! Our room was very clean and we felt that these people are ‘Top Notch’ who tend the rooms!!
A lovely room with a terrace. ‘DUANE’ in the Pembroke Restaurant deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

However I couldn’t sleep one night because the windows are not fitted correctly and ina eindy night the sound produced by the filtering wind the room was unbearable. It was only windy for one night, but one sleepless night makes a big difference when you are there only a few nights. I was combining a work visit with a family celebration, thus needed as much energy and sleep for my stay. :( The staff were helpful (they sent maintenance staff in the middle of the night) but were unable to solve the problem. Nor would they offer any compensation for a sleepless night.
Location is great, ambiance very nice and staff is helpful

Quite noisy at night even though we were on the 6th floor. Quite a few sirens, people yelling on the street at 1-2 am, a car alarm at 5am (this was a Saturday night and it’s a busy/lively area). Not the hotels fault and we did request a quiet room, but something to be aware of.

While the location of this hotel is excellent and the images of the rooms and communal areas looked promising, the reality fell far short of expectations. Maintenance appears to be a significant issue here. Upon arrival, I encountered broken blinds and a window in the bathroom that let in both light and a chilly breeze during showers. Despite being shown several alternative rooms, all had damaged blinds and faulty toilets that continued to run water after flushing. The staff acknowledged the ongoing blind problem, hinting at broader maintenance issues throughout the hotel. Both the bathrooms and bedrooms felt outdated and failed to meet modern standards of luxury. Weak water pressure, insufficient storage space for toiletries, and the inconvenience of a shower without a door were notable drawbacks. Noise proved to be another major concern, with old windows allowing excessive street noise into the rooms and thin, flimsy doors contributing to corridor noise. Overall, my experience left much to be desired. Despite its five-star rating, this hotel fell short of expectations, making it one of the most disappointing stays I've had in recent memory. I would not choose to stay here again.
