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 KingdomWe felt breakfast could have been a bit more generous is quantity also proper tea in a tea pot would be most wely. The cost of the room was on the expensive side so a better quality breakfast would have been appreciated.
Great, friendly staff. Comfortable bedroom and bed. Close to the city centre which was so convenient. Would definitely revisit and recommend to family and friends.

United KingdomIt was extremely noisy. The pub downstairs had their TVs on at full volume until 01:30 and we weren’t able to sleep with them on. Completely understood it might be a bit noisy due to it being a pub, but we weren’t prepared for this!
The room was fantastic. Really nice and modern. The bathroom was really fancy. Everything was nice and clean. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room were good.

United KingdomI have mobility issues and struggled with the stairs.....my own fault, l should have checked that the property had a lift before l booked.
The Black Lion Hotel is within a ten minute walk from all the best shops. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was reasonably clean and comfortable. The hotel rooms are on two floors above the bar but as there is no lift it may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. We ate in the bar both nights, they have reasonably priced bar meals, burgers, chicken wings etc. An excellent full English breakfast is also served in the bar for hotel guests until 11am. We enjoyed our stay at the Black Lion Hotel.

United KingdomNo complaints
Everything was perfect apart from the water pressure from the shower and taps. We did call downstairs and he said that they’ve been having problems with the water and he would go down and have a look. The shower did work eventually so it was just a minor issue. The breakfast was perfect and the manager who served us was very friendly and polite. Overall a lovely place 😁

United KingdomThe plumbing in the Sankey Soap was a little hit and miss on this visit, the shower started then went off then started again and at one point we couldn't get cold water from the tap in the sink. We have stayed in this room before and it's the first time this has happened.
The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is great. The hotel is situated close to transport and shopping.

GermanyI was a bit surprised when I wanted to eat the breakfast that was supposed to be included at the hotel, and I received the info that the chef at a different hotel was sick and therefore the chef of the Black Lion needed to jump in (therefore no Breakfast served) - I was offered the option to eat breakfast at the Mitre Hotel, but as my flight was early in the morning I wasn’t able to…
I really liked the location and the room - which was really great. I also experienced very welcoming staff at the hotel.

United KingdomWe had no water, had to ring down the first night and son got shower, then we went out for the evening. When we came back no water to even wash hands. The following morning, not enough water for two showers. I believe there is a problem with the water system at the minute. So this wouldn’t put me off returning. If your mobility isn’t the best ask for a room on the first floor.
It was very clean and convenient to the city. The staff were lovely. I loved the idea of it being an old English pub with rooms.
