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.).

We are both over 80 and so stairs are not our friends. However a phone call when booking allowed us to be put in the room accessible by the least stairs. Obviously the age of the building precluded the installation of lifts.
Good breakfast and staff helpful in choosing health related dietary options. Immaculate cleanliness. Immediate access to bus stops enabled us to get to all but one of our planned city visirs. Taxi covered the other.

Attic room meant barely a view from window unless standing on bed. I had asked to not be on the ground floor as a woman traveling alone (which hotel would not have known) but was a bit surprised to then be placed right at the top! So beware what you request...I will be. A mini fridge would be welcome. **hairdryer cord not long enough to see in mirror. Increase length or move mirror slightly would be big improvement
Quirky room layout, china cups, good Yorkshire tea provided. Warm and comfy bed. Spacious. I would stay again. Didn't have breakfast so can't speak to that.

A bit of a trek to our room at the top, but we were fairly warned when we booked, that this could be the case. We offered help with our luggage if we needed it. The double mattress felt like it had zero edge support, so you were rolling out if you slept anywhere near the edge.
Fantastic location, just across the square from lots of places to shop and eat. Surrounded by magnificent period houses and our explore along birdcage walk was beautiful. The room was clean and we had everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely too. A generous check out time of 11am made our last morning a bit more relaxed, which we appreciated.

The room was a little on the small side, as was the bathroom. The room was also quite warm, but we could open the original sash window to get some fresh air. We didn`t have the breakfast as with so many cafes nearby, we felt that would be better value for money.
The area was smart and "happening". We really enjoyed walking around the lovely roads and popping in the many independent shops. The hotel was very close to the area where there were lots of shops and cafes as well as across the road from the bus stop to get into the city centre.
