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 bunk beds and the top one was hard for my wife who is very small o get to as there was no proper ladder unless we couldn't find it. I would recommend a little step ladder like they have on the overnight ferries.
Very friendly staff and a great location as it is so close to the Stadium for a concert. Breakfast was great. A very pleasant stay and will definitely go back again.

United KingdomCould have been cleaner , and breakfast was terrible , we are vegetarians , and when I ask about options was told only meat , was a poor selection , and the little I did plate up , had one mouthful of beans , and they were stone cold , so I left the breakfast and went back to room . This is a huge disappointment , as one of the things I look forward to the most is a nice breakfast when I stay over , I paid over £400 for the hotel , so not cheap , and the reason I chose this hotel , was the buffet breakfast . So I am really disappointed, and with the cleanliness as well not at a great standard, feel I massively paid over the odds for my experience, I would say definitely not value for money , which saddens me , as not one for complaining, but felt compelled on this occasion, I did get refunded for breakfast , but have still paid £400 for hotel that wouldn’t have if I had none how bad breakfast was , and the cleanliness of room was .

United KingdomRoom was very compact, so it was a little tight in space for two people. Could do with blackout curtains, as was a bit light even at night. Lighting in the room/bathroom wasn't great, especially for putting on make up.
Excellent central location, comfortable bed, nice powerful shower and very helpful, friendly staff.

United KingdomParking can be a pain. John Lewis is £26 for 24 hours. Although a different way for the same length of time walking time is £12.50. Parking in John Lewis as it is 24/7 security cameras not sure about other parking.
Bar was open till quite late, nice little quiet seating area downstairs. Security at doors making sure correct people came in, making you feel safer inside as 24/7 access. Staff were so friendly and polite. Very interactive which is great.

I did get a part refund, but we had to tolerate it will Sunday when we checked out. I’ve stayed here several times before and has been amazing.

United KingdomSome of the switches for lights didn't work in the room, although we had enough light so it wasn't really an issue. The water was not a consistent temperature when showering but for what this hotel is trying to provide I did not find a good shower necessary.
The room we got for the price, was great. Granted, it was a little small but it was more than worth it for the price. Felt a little vulnerable with there only being a sliding wall for the toilet door, but understood that this was necessary for the small box style budget room that the hotel is going for. The location was perfect, right by the station and close to the city centre which is exactly what we wanted. This hotel is great for those who just want a cheap and clean bed to stay in after a night out in the city.
