Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe check-out detailed on booking was 11am, but upon arrival was informed it is now 10.30am, which was disappointing. The breakfast is small - 1 of everything wouldn't be filling for an average person. You have to pay an extra £3 if you want another key card so have to share between the two of you and the electricity is tied to the key card. This seems very unreasonable - all parties should be able to gain access to the room they have paid for. It's very dusty under the bed (discovered after dropping a hair bobble) which was a bit off putting. The doors have to be slammed to shut which means you hear most movement of other guests - at whatever time they come back or move around!
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was generally clean, spacious, and comfortable. The food was good and had big portions. There was a fan and air conditioning in the rooms which were much appreciated. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room.

United KingdomCheck in desk is the bar, it's a functioning pub, luckily I arrived in a bit of a lull so only had to wait for 2 people to be served their drinks before I was checked in, but I imagine when busy this could be a bit of a wait. No parking, which is advertised as no parking in the hotels defence. Is the deansgate parking a 5 minute walk up the road but is quite expensive.
Very clean, well presented, staff were very friendly and informative. Location was just on the outskirts of the centre so only a short walk to get where you need to go to. Proper pub, reasonable prices, beyond the hotel could find yourself in the for drinks. Modern rooms with fully functioning big screen tvs

FranceBecause it is located directly above the bar, we could hear music and quizzes. Keep it in mind, if you book this hotel, plan on enjoying the night life. Also, we had to turn off the noisy bathroom ventilator.
Great price, breakfast was included and very good, bed was extremely comfy and staff was lovely.
