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.).

IrelandVery little if anything. Maybe a couple more sockets in the room would be helpful and some complimentary water would be nice. Otherwise no complaints at all.
Our room was beautiful and a touch quirky in a good way. Excellent use of space and plenty of storage space. The wifi is exceptional. Any requests we made were sorted out immediately by the staff on duty. All staff were very helpful and friendly but a special thanks to Nathan. We were lucky enough to deal with him mostly and he is a wonderful representative of the hotel. He's knowledgeable helpful friendly polite and a genuine asset to the Velvet Hotel. He really made our trip. Would highly recommend the Velvet Hotel. The rooms were exceptionally quiet even when the hotel was full. We didn't hear any noise from other guests at any stage. My wife and I loved the hotel and its location. We were made feel right at home as soon as we checked in. We would definitely recommend it to anyone and we would love to return in the future. Parking is quite easy given how centrally located the Hotel is and there are plenty of options to choose from but a car really isn't necessary.

United KingdomRoom a bit depressing. Plug sockets and light switches in funny places. Very noisy neighbours. Finishing touches not great such as rusty plug in bath and sinks, big sofa with.a cheap stretchy cover on. Not a standard I would expect for a signature suite. We also ate in the brassiere and waited over an hour to get our food. One meal great, another not. Very warm and stuffy and air con not great.
Good location, staff friendly. Lovely bath. Clean. Lovely comfy bed.

United KingdomThe hotel is a beautiful hotel with class and sophistication. It is located about a 5 minute walk from the train station making it easily accessible and is a short walking distance from Manchester town centre. Also right next door to clubs and bars, which is great for a night out. Our room was clean and tidy, and we loved our stay here. It was our second time and we will definitely be booking again in the future. I 100% recommend to any couples looking for a nice break away.
