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.).

Everything. I'm a frequent traveller who has stayed in a lot of hotels before and this is hands down one of the best stays I've had. Fantastic staff, really clean and a great breakfast. I can't recommend this place enough.

United KingdomThe blinds in the bathroom we put a sheet up at the window we were told you can't see in but while coming back from a meal you could see the people in the room next to us through the blinds. Not very private while in bathroom. But didn't spoil our stay.
Everything about our stay was great to the friendly staff to the lovely room. Very clean and tidy.

ChinaThe fridge in the room was making some noise (I should have unplugged it), and the room could do without the wardrobe, which took up much space, and we didn't use it anyway.
Lovely traditional family hotel. Located on the outskirt of Chester, very quick drive to the Cheshire Oaks, Chester Zoo, and the city centre. Facilities are a bit old, but still okay to use. Breakfast was great.

United KingdomThe most notable issue was the size of my room, which was quite small. This limited space made it challenging to comfortably manage my belongings. There was a distinct lack of storage options, such as a coat hanger or sufficient space to place my items. This made the room feel cramped and somewhat inconvenient, especially after a long day of travel. It’s unclear if this is an issue in all rooms, but it was certainly a drawback in my experience. Addressing this could significantly enhance the comfort and practicality of the rooms.
The cleanliness was great, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic environment. The pillows and mattress were comfortable, which is crucial when travelling. The view from my window was great, offering a pleasant scene to wake up. the staff were friendly and welcoming, contributing greatly to the cosy atmosphere of the hotel.

United KingdomWe turned up at 8am for early start only beans out intray & they were cold when rest. Bacon / sausage came out , then we had to wait for eggs , but by then we had ate our sausage etc , so seemed a little bit disorganised, but staff were very pleasant & food excellent , perhaps if we knew the way they did things we would have waited for egg & then put rest on plate
Excellent choice

United KingdomLovely little place to stay if you're visiting Chester for a weekend. Laura was lovely and steered us right on the travel options and best restaurants to visit in the immediate area when we checked in. Location-wise it's actually over the bridge in Hoole, but only about a 15-20min walk to city centre with regular bus service if you don't fancy the walk. Room was suitably equipped with ensuite bathroom, tea & coffee facilities, free wifi, USB charging points in the wall sockets for your phone (not every hotel thinks of this, so nice to see them). Bed was uber-comfy too, it was a struggle to find the impetus to get up out of it in the morning! Breakfast was lovely... a range of full English or continental or cereal options, fresh juice, coffee, tea, etc. Would happily go back here next time we're in the area.

United KingdomThe room had amenities such as a kettle, microwave however, there wasn’t any room to utilise these items. We had to eat out every night, otherwise we might have stayed in and ordered a takeaway. But this wouldn’t put me off returning, as there are so many options for dining out.
The breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were very friendly.

United KingdomWhat didn't I like - had to force myself to eat the complimentary crisps, biscuits, chocolate and have a hot chocolate night cap whilst watching a movie on the large tv. Nothing else.
Very friendly staff from when I arrived to check out. The room was clean and tidy and nice you h having biscuits, hot chocolate and chocolate on the pillow. The breakfast staff were very busy but still took time to greet me, show me to my table and take my drinks order. Plenty of food hot and cold. I did not have time for eggs with my breakfast as they were cooked to order but that's my fault as I had to leave at a certain time. Parking was easy.

United KingdomThe room, while being very comfortable was a bit on the small side, however as I was on my own this was not a major issue.
The room was very clean and quiet and I found it very comfortable and well lit, with a kettle,fridge and hair dryer included. The hotel is very conveniently placed within walking distance of local shops and other amenities and is also within walking distance of Chester city centre. I also enjoyed the Buffet style breakfast. The staff were very courteous and helpfull There is a reasonable amount of car parking and the carpark at the adjacent Chester House may also be used if all bays at the Chester Court are occupied.
