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 KingdomLack of intervention by staff of a couple in the bar Acting inappropriately and spilling several drinks on the floor on Friday 17th May around 21:00. The couple did not appear to be staying at the hotel and were literally ‘off the street’ they did not present as how one would expect clientele of the Radisson to behave. In my view they should have been asked to leave…
Everything - attentive caring staff. Spa pool and gym facilities. Great dining area and choice of breakfast buffet. Great ambience Central location, well appointed room.

United KingdomThe amount of single use plastic in the room was so much: tea spoons, mugs and water glasses all individually wrapped in plastic. You could give glass bottles of water not plastic as it’s a 5 star hotel.
Loved the spa and in a brilliant location.

United KingdomThe staff were fantastic, helpful & friendly in all areas. The bed was very comfortable and sheets soft. The facilities were very clean and well maintained. We ate in the library bar in the evening, food was fresh and of a very high standard. The breakfast had a wide variety of choice and very good value for money. We had a quick trip to the spa after check out which was the perfect way to end our trip before a long drive. A special mention to the gentleman in the library bar on Sunday afternoon for his tips on where to stand to get the good lighting for a picture! All round a wonderful stay, would certainly recommend and will definitely be back.

IrelandThe shower didn’t drain away quickly and the water could have leaked out of the bathroom.
Had been here before and it was impressive then, that was just before Covid. I didn’t have a reason to return until now but I am glad I did. I travelled with my young son and we were very well looked after. Some of the staff were exceptional, Gary the concierge and always at the reception desk stood out. The friendliness was appreciated.

United KingdomI felt the staff member who checked us in took a while. He also asked me for my address which i have not been asked before at any other hotels i have stayed at. When i gave my postcode he then asked for my door number and i felt uncomfortable giving my address details when other guests were next to me waiting to check in and also behind me. Im not sure why that was necessary since i made the booking through booking.com and he had my bank card details that i used to book the room in the first place. Confidentiality is very important for me when it comes to sharing my personal details so i dont know why he felt he needed that information from me. My partner also felt a little bit invisible as he was just talking to me dispite us both being guests. So i think going forward all guests should be welcomed no matter who booked the room. The other minor negatives were that i dont think the room had been given the once over before we arrived as there was a drinks spillage stain on the wooden table and on the carpet dry feaces mark that may have been from someones shoe im not sure. So for us we expected a little more from the hotel in terms of cleanliness standards. Everything else was very good and we enjoyed our stay. The hotel has a lovely pool gym and restaurant.
Love the buildings architecture and the interior design, very sleek and modern but still retains its charm.

United KingdomWe had a drink at the bar, I ordered lemon and mint tea and it came in a tea pot - cold. I asked how it’s meant to be served to which they said hot, so swapped it. However you would expect the waiter to notice when pouring the water that it wasn’t hot. Anyway paid the bill at the bar, to then be chased into the lobby with a card machine and bill saying I hadn’t paid (lobby was busy due to it raining outside) to which I said I paid by cash at the bar with your colleague- not great!
Location is perfect! Spa is great Room decent size
