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

Although it was clean and well presented, the room was quite small for a double, it also had no window. We would most likely request a bigger room with a window on our next stay to make it more comfortable.
Clean and well presented, the girls in reception were lovely.

The room felt claustrophobic. You had to walk sideways around the bed as there was hardly any room. No bin in the main room. The mattress was hard and pillows flat. You could hear the toilet from the room next door.
The location was 5*

The room was fine. We had to ask for clean bedding but that was sorted straight away. The staff were all lovely, especially Eliza, she was very helpful from when we walked through the door and was sweet enough to upgrade us to a room with a skylight. She has great customer service! Great location as well.

The room was quite hot, and the air conditioning kept turning itself off (I think it was broken, as the light on the panel kept flashing with an error code on screen).
The property is in a very convenient central location, around the corner from New Street station. I stayed in a windowless room, and that meant that I could get a good mid-afternoon nap, as if it were the middle of the night. The staff were very helpful too. I had an issue, where the TV wasn’t plugged in and remote not working. The fellow behind the desk came and helped to fix this problem. Upon check out, Amber, was very polite, cheerful and a lovely ambassador for the easyHotel brand.

Great location but very very noisy - even on the third floorn - on a Saturday night. I also would have liked to know beforehand that the hotel takes "basic" to a whole new level.. I was expecting a tad more given the cost (£100+ for one night), even though I appreciate the rules of supply and demand.
The staff were exceptional: welcoming, engaging and helpful.

Bed was quite uncomfortable and room was very small (to be expected for the price I guess). AC was ineffective so room was quite hot, this seemed to be an issue for friends in other rooms too.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and hotel is very convenient for train station access.

I was confused about the hole in the bathroom door as a handle. There was only one towel to start with.
There was only one towel provided but staff were happy enough to give us a second one (even if it was after 10pm when we returned from a concert).

The TV didn't work. There was a bad smell from the plumbing in both rooms, but particularly the accessible room.
Very pleasant welcome from the staff. The hotel is ideally placed for getting to the station - it's a short walk, and one that my mother managed with relative ease despite needing to use a walking aid.
