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 KingdomThe shower was the only down side being electric but also temperamental but that’s just a small blip, I wouldn’t think twice about booking here again
Lovely hotel and great location, we didn’t spend much time there but what we did was great but what stood out was the staff all were fabulous with my little boy but Dan went above and beyond and my son gave him a 10 out of 5 and insisted he needed to tip him. Restaurant was lovely we only had dinner 1 night and small breakfasts (I don’t really do breakfast) but nothing was a hassle and the cocktails were lovely to.

United KingdomThe breakfast was very chaotic. We waited a long time and had to ask for our tea, butter etc. Mediocre fare...porridge and toast was all I had but tasteless and burnt.
I liked the comfy bed, plenty of parking and friendly staff.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like. I found everything to be of a fabulous standard.
The breakfast was amazing - they have very generous portion sizes. Location was very near to where I was working which was a bonus. Staff were courteous, chatty and polite, and very attentive at all times. And I loved my room too, very spacious and quiet.

United KingdomSound of an immersion tank filling up somewhere above me was quite intrusive. It was only in the evening and morning, not during the night, so didn't disrupt my sleep.
Breakfast was plated to order and was excellent. Quirky, old, building makes a nice change from the concrete block hotel chains. Well placed for the town centre, it's literally a 5 minute walk to the High Street.

SingaporeOverall a good hotel. Pros: Carpark, amenities (coffee, tea, biscuits, shower/shampoo soaps/iron) comfortable bed and room/ good power plug placements, TV channels, front desk. Cons: The electric kettle was dirty, may require a new replacement, didn't have the time to highlight it to the front desk. Additional portable heater could be offered during very cold days. Others: Did not have the chance to try but the restaurant is very popular.

United KingdomNo one was around when I arrived, so I had to ring the bell a number of times, before someone appeared at reception. Perhaps I just caught them a bad moment? The decor was a little dated, though thankfully, not tatty. Nevertheless, the bathroom had been redone relatively recently.
The hotel was warm and comfortable and everything you would hope for from an independent hotel. The restaurant offers wholesome food and caters for a good range of tastes, and budgets. It is located just a few minutes walk from the station and town centre, yet remained very quiet at night. Staying just before Christmas, it was clearly a popular choice for locals to meet for a meal, which is always a good sign.

United KingdomRoom was cold on arrival but there was a plug in radiator which I could use to warm the room up. Bathroom didn't have a heated towel rail which is always a nice thing to have but it was a small bathroom so probably not a lot of room for it.
Breakfast was very good, generous, freshly made and good choice. Didn't have to book a time which was nice as it was more relaxing to just come down when ready. Staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful

United KingdomRoom 18: The toilet seat does not hold up on its own, so when you're using the WC you have physically hold the seat up & when you're sitting on the toilet, the flap hits you in the back. The shower has no power, even when you have the valve fully open. The above couldn't have just happened. I didn't mention it to the staff, as I only had to suffer these issues for 3 nights and the shower this morning 06/11/23
