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 KingdomIncredibly small bathroom - much smaller than a normal en-suite bathroom. The £5 charge to store you bag after checkout - I travel extensively both in and outside of the UK and I’ve never experienced
Good location close to the theatre. Reception staff very friendly and offered a complementary upgrade on arrival. It was a nice touch to have fresh milk for tea/coffee in the room.

United KingdomA minor point...It was a bit busy with the SCADA conference people at check-in, which took a bit longer than we'd thought, given that we'd already checked in on line.
The beautiful building & its location. The size of the bedroom with an excellent shower & comfy bed. The efficient, friendly & capable bar staff. The bar meal, which was so tasty. The reserved parking slot.

ItalyThere is really nothing bad about this place. It is convenient, cozy and clean, you cannot go wrong.
We stay here everytime we go to see our daughter who studies at Charterhouse School. The premises are well looked after and clean, the whole place is very well maintained and conveniently located near the town center, just walking distance from nice restaurants, pubs and shops. A big plus is the parking onsite (needs reservation). The bar is really nice and the food is good too. The staff is super friendly and extremely helpful.

AustraliaThe whole left luggage situation is annoying. Having to pay 5 pound to store luggage --this is the only time this has happened to us in all our travels all over the world. Shame as it's a nice hotel, but this would be enough to put me off staying there again.
Nice hotel in a convenient position to London Road station. Reception staff were excellent. The mini bar was very nice and the aircon a bonus.

United KingdomDespite being told our room was ready, we weren't allowed to check in to it unless we paid for an early check in. Check in was also very late (I think it was 3PM which is later than most). If the room is sitting there ready - why not just let us check in?! This feels like profiteering and did not make me feel valued as a guest. We had to put our bags back in the car and wait another hour or so to check in to our room which had already been turned over and was just sitting there empty and ready. Greedy from the hotel! Parking was super expensive - again, this feels like profiteering. If I am a guest who has already paid to stay with you, why are you charging large amounts of money for me to park on your land?!
Amazing room and great facilities Lovely bar and restaurant Super friendly staff Very clean and well decorated - everything feels very nice! Great location and proximity to town. One of the nicest UK hotels I have stayed in. Slick check in/check out process. Great facilities in the room - tea/coffee station etc Nice bathroom/shower with high end toiletries. Quiet room Really good aircon in our room which was a godsend! Our second stay here and we will definitely stay again.

United KingdomWould have preferred a room with walk in shower. Fridge not available in room which was disappointing considering the price paid. Room was for three but coffee/biscuits were only for two.
Room was airy and met basic needs. Breakfast was well presented with good choice and friendly staff. Location near town suited our needs. Made my daughter feel special as we celebrated her graduation.

United KingdomThe hotel bar was nice but had no atmosphere at all. They played very dull music on a Saturday evening. Had there been more of an atmosphere we would have stayed and had a couple of drinks rather than go into town. The preference was stay in the hotel as we had a long day but it was quite depressing in there. I also didn't like that you had to pay for parking and felt this should have been complimentary - £17 on top of the booking plus another £15 each for breakfast especially when I checked booking.com the day before and the room I had booked included breakfast.
I asked for a quiet room which was just outside the hotel in a small block and it did just the job as I am a light sleeper. Room was very nice and worth spending an extra £20 to get the executive room. The Breakfast was very nice too but wasn't included in the price.

United KingdomParking - rear carpark is ridiculously tight for a large SUV No lift Had to climb steep stairs to first floor then along a corridor and back down similar steps to the ground floor at the opposite end of the hotel. The bathroom was not even small it was absolutely tiny and would certainly be no good if you were a big bigger than average. No room or bar service food after 9pm
