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 KingdomWhat was not to like! Great.
Nice modern furnishings, very clean, you get Netflix on the quite big tv which was a bonus! Nice friendly staff, very quiet considering it is also a club venue. Our stay was cut short due to work so never got to have breakfast but over all it was a nice stay i definitely recommend this hotel.

AustraliaRoom was a little small & lacked hanging space but this is more to do with the age & design of the Pub more than anything else.
Friendly & helpful staff from manager to cleaners. Nothing was ever too much or too hard. Rooms were always cleaned properly & location was excellent.

We stayed at the King's to be close to the Swindon bus station for shuttle bus to Raf Fairford. It was ideal for being close enough to the bus station to walk.

United KingdomWe expected noise because of the location while the venue was open and a bit afterwards but I think we were a little naive about other noise that went on all night. Sounded like bottles being thrown into bins and lots of banging about. The other thing was that the room was absolutely boiling. It was a hot day but air con would make it much more comfortable and maybe lessen the noise from outside with not having to have the windows open.
Lovely room and great breakfast

United KingdomThe room was very, very hot! With only a window and a small fan, a good night's sleep was impossible. If your room faces to the rear, the beer garden and smoking area can be very noisy - especially on Friday and Saturday nights, when the bar turns into a club from 2100-0300. Also, if your window is open, cigarette smoke can come in.
Old building with nice decor. Friendly staff and a nice bar area. Food is reasonably priced and if high quality.
