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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 check-in time states 3pm. However, the room was not (nor were a few other guests' rooms). I did not get into my room until just before 4 pm.
The hotel was cheap so don't expect luxury. The bed was comfortable, and the shower worked OK. Breakfast was pleasant with an assortment of food. It is in a location where you can get to different parts of the city on foot.

United KingdomCar parking is a serious joke: we got there from England with no space for the car and had to risk leaving it in a loading bay as there was nowhere on the street. When we finally paid for a space for our remaining 2 days, found there are 7 pokey spaces tucked down a very tight alley, which staff block with 4 cars on a daily basis, which resulted in us being stuck in our parking space at the very end of the horribly tight car park, risking scratching our car. For €22 per day, we do NOT expect to be trapped in by staff cars which wasted a good half hour of our day having to ask reception guy to get them to move, which ended up being a chaotic mess due to the difficulties moving cars in and out. I spent the whole breakfast the next day stressing if we would again be blocked in and risk our onward journey being delayed. When you pay for a service, you don’t expect to be met which such difficult and stressful circumstances, and such a relaxed attitude about it ‘just being the colleagues’ cars’ which clearly happens on a regular basis, again is not acceptable. We received no apology for this upheaval and a refusal of a refund until the manager would be on site, which again when we needed to leave early was not helpful or compassionate in the slightest. Secondly, the lady at breakfast was both unhelpful and impolite- she did not greet us with a smile or any words when we entered the breakfast room, offer coffee or give us seating instructions. When my friend asked her for help with the Nutella machine, she responded with a hostile comment about the cup she had chosen to use for water and ignored the question. My friend felt chastised for using the wrong glass and had the glasses for water been placed in view (as opposed to hidden under a dark, black cabinet), she would have been able to use the ‘suitable’ glasses. But she had asked the staff member for help about something completely unrelated!
Distance to city on foot Food served at breakfast was tasty Friendly man at reception although not ultimately able to do much to help us Family room was a good size Beds comfortable

Unless cash for vending, had to venture outside for drinks, bathroom had no doors on shower, lights in room never worked very creaky and heavy doors meant you heard everything, description amd pictures are not what you actually get.
The front desk guy was amazingly helpful and friendly, made us feel welcome. Breakfast hours were great 7 to 11.

Offered choice of another hotel - 1 too far away for full duration of our stay and one central for one night in two single rooms. Hotel we chose was amazing.

United KingdomVery tired hotel, needs refurbishment. Carpets walls, bed frames all in poor state. We had a problem with a very noisy radiator that intermittently kept us awake. We reported and it was much better the 2nd night. Room very small, chair was so near bed impossible not to stub toe! Reception not very engaged, sat with earbuds and on phone 2 mornings. Not able to help with a simple train enquiry.
Breakfast was very good, however the pictures of breakfast online showed fresh fruit and muffins. Others asked and were told there was none. Lift was good for 3rd floor. Area near 2 christmas markets and a train station, supermarkets and shops.
