Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Disappointed that the restaurant wasn't open in the evening, with no pre warning it wouldn't be. Considering it was August Bank Holiday weekend I really would have expected it to be open!!
Excellent location, very friendly staff. Really good selection for breakfast, decent sausages and it was all hot!

The room key card was temperamental and so we had to get reception staff to re-do the card multiple times before we could get back in our room to get our bags for check out. This was fixed eventually however and the staff were helpful.
Rooms have everything you need and are nice and clean, with comfy beds. Hotel is located right next to New St station so very easy to get to.

- • Solo traveler
- • Superior Room with City View
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
We didn't have a great nights sleep due to the bed being twins pushed together. There was a significant dip where they joined so this certainly needs rectifying for future guests. The pillows were also extremely squishy so not great for sitting up in the bed. The selection of tea and coffee sachets were good but there was only one sachet of hot chocolate which for two guests staying was a bit disappointing. We hadn't realised that the restaurant wasn't open in the evening when we booked. Other Radisson hotels we have stayed at open their restaurant's.
We liked that the hotel was close to the hippodrome and the nearby eateries. Check in was easy. Plenty of hangers for our clothes.

1) I can't say I didn't "like" it, but the mattress is not as firm as I personally prefer, but it's still comfortable and I slept reasonably well anyway. 2) The sound of doors being closed in adjacent rooms is audible. It's not disturbing during the day, but it would be nice it's not noticeable in the evening when some visitors go back a bit late after having enjoyable outings. 3) I realised I stayed in a connectable room as soon as I found a locked door to the adjacent room, and I could hear the indistinctive chats of the people in there. Just wondering if measures could be taken for door rims to be "sound-proof", such as air-sealing tape around rims or something.
1) The room itself was really nice, a reasonable distance from the lifts, quiet enough for me. I like the comfortable chairs and the bed-end bench. 2) The view was nice (11th floor), overseeing the street and the pagoda outside. 3) Great location, a short walking distance to the train station, shops and attraction points I planned to visit. 4) I carelessly left out an important personal item at check out, and the staff was so helpful in recovering it for me.
