Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomBathroom was a bit tired and could have done with a bit of a refurb. Tap was loose and dripped, door was chipped and could have done with a lick of paint, holes in the floor where something had been fastened down. This was in a premier room as well.
Room was excellent, breakfast very good and staff outstanding.

United KingdomOur room whilst very nice was a little warm for me, so I had the windows open over night as couldn’t find the air conditioning. Due to the traffic noise outside my sleep was disturbed.
Excellent evening meal in the restaurant and friendly, efficient staff. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed using the pool and steam room.

United KingdomBOOKING. COM recommended the room we booked, then said it was not suitable for us. So had to call hotel direct to make sure it was. It was suitable before booking. Hotel room... TV was at the opposite end of the room. Daughter was sleeping on sofa bed in between the TV and our bed so couldn't watch TV after she went to bed. It would be a good idea to relocate TV so we could use all facilities conveniently.
Service always great. Staff very friendly and house keeping kindly made up the sofa bed and returned it to sofa in the morning sonwe could use space in the room. Convenient location close to Tesside Autodrome which is our reason for travelling to Teesside. Because Bkng.com only booked 2 adults as explained below, the hotel kindly didn't charge us for a 3rd breakfast for our daughter. SPA, pool and gym a BONUS. CAN'T FAULT IT FOR THE PRICE.

United KingdomAsked the staff member at the reception if we’d have water in the rooms as it’s mentioned in the room description, he told us we would have to purchase it at reception as it’s not included(£2.50 per bottle). We purchased 4 bottles of water and when we got to our rooms there was bottled water. One of the rooms had a dirty bathroom, hairs in the shower, so we had to request a new room which wasn’t much better.

United KingdomThe Booking.com account of the hotel was compromised - I received a message with a link to make a payment which later turned out to be a scammer (I didn't make any payment). Never use payment links other than on Booking.com or better yet pay at the hotel. The WIFI network is unsecured which makes it it easy for hackers to steal your accounts and passwords. Implementing WPA2 doesn't cost much and this should be standard at all hotels. There was a long queue at check-in; one member of staff had to deal with at least 15 guests. Finally after 10 minutes her colleague arrived but instead of helping the guests she prioritised answering the phone. The hotel offers a check-in by internet service but as the hotel account was compromised I didn't want to risk it. The car park seems to be first come, first serve and you compete with local guests that are using the gym. The hotel also charges separately for using the car park. The TV didn't work at first and also some of the lights didn't function. It turned out that everything was unplugged - plugging everything back in resolved the issue. This is not the hotel fault but the area around the hotel is severely deprived; I was shocked to see shut down businesses, drug users passed out on the street and what looked liked groups of muggers looking for a new victim. I would strongly recommend not to go out in the evening by yourself.
The staff is super friendly and they really make the hotel shine. The fitness area looked great (although I didn't use it). Breakfast was extensive and well prepared. The room was good - although I wish a little bit more overhead lights at night time. There was enough parking space available (there is an overflow car park at the back of the hotel). The surrounding area has quite a few nice restaurants - but be aware (see below). Alternatively the hotel offers an extensive meal selection and room service 24/7y.
