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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomWe had a long wait for food on the Wednesday evening. I know it was because of the numbers turning up for the conference, and we should have booked, but I didn't know what time we would be able to set off and what time we would arrive as it was a nearly 3 hour drive. It would have nice to have had a couple of biscuits with the tea/coffee in the room 😋
We stopped overnight as part of a conference the following day. The rooms were lovely, comfy beds, plenty of room, spacious shower. The breakfast was lovely, a good selection of foods. Staff were nice and helpful. We went to have a swim at 7.30am and the lady on the pool reception was friendly and very helpful, explaining everything that we needed to know. A great way to start the day!

United KingdomThe hot tub was on only for 2 minutes with a 7 minute break following after. And that kept repeating. It wasn't that hot either. I didn't think it would bother me at first, but once I was there and just wanted to enjoy myself for a bit longer, it was really annoying to only get 2 minutes out of it. There was also a moment where I was registering my interest in the spa treatments where a younger staff member came and started chatting with the person dealing with me. I wouldn't have minded, but the person straight up started chatting, making inside jokes, and completely ignoring that I was right there and just wanted to get an appointment. It felt very uncomfortable and rather rude. Lastly, the room had no ceiling lights. It was illuminated with small bedside lamps and a table lamp. There was also a seemingly broken floor lamp I didn't want to touch. So, unfortunately, without any daylight, the room was really dim.
Absolutely adored the breakfast options and the spa treatment that I got - a 50-minute body massage. The restaurant served delicious food, which was on the pricy side, but worth it. Most staff were superb. The room was clean, roomy, and had gorgeous big windows. The room had air conditioning, and the covers were just the right temperature for both me and my boyfriend, who prefer different warmth levels at night.

United KingdomThe fire alarm went off early hours of the morning, there’s was poor communication after this, it was a false alarm through the night which was very unsettling at the time. There was a private party happening which was a little noisy too. The stay was lovely but this incident detracted from a good nights sleep so the next day plans were affected.
The hotel was very nice with great facilities.

United KingdomWas around a 20 minute walk to town which wasn’t too bad however with it being located in the “city centre” I thought it would have been closer….. also you can’t book the pool it’s first come first served - we went down at 8.30 am Sunday morning and it was full they asked if we would like to be put on a waiting list however with it being a one night stay we checked out at 11 so there was little point in doing that….. so was quite disappointing as I booked the hotel because of the pool facilities.
The room and surrounding areas of the hotel were very clean and tidy, complementary water/tea/coffee/hot chocolate were a bonus :) lovely sized bath and shower. Huge TV and decent view out the window.

United KingdomThe only thing I didn’t like was the price of breakfast.
It was very convenient for the railway station. I was stranded during storm Isha, when my “last train to Edinburgh” was unable to go further than Newcastle. The proximity to the station was important.

United KingdomThere should be a booking system for the pool rather than a first come, first serve/ waiting list. Not ideal for those leaving the hotel. We could have been on the waiting list as early as 5, but it wouldn't work as we had a table booked at a restaurant and therefore wouldn't be available when they rang the room. We ended up waiting until way after 8 despite being back in the hotel by half 6

United KingdomOne staff member walked into the room without knocking and didn’t apologise. O The room had only been cleaned maybe an hour before we were able to check in, we were told the room was ready however a member of the team who check the rooms for the standards of cleanliness assumed nobody was in and just walked straight in with no apology.
It was located perfectly for where we needed to be. The rooms are spacious and beds are very comfortable! The pool area was an added bonus as not many of the hotels in the city centre have them! The staff were helpful.
