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 KingdomFound shower temperature hard to control
Breakfast courses served at appropriate time with the main freshly cooked to order. Warm toast too, choice of spreads. Cafeteria or fresh brew tea. Rooms clean. Check in/ out is very convenient and location ideal for exploring Worcester. Lesley was very helpful and gave a warm welcome.

It has a lovely homely feel - I’d booked it as a place to stay whilst visiting my Mum in hospital. It was just what you needed after a stressful day. The host Lesley’s attention to detail was fab. She was a lovely friendly lady. Nothing was too much trouble. Tasty breakfast. She sorted out a parking permit for me. Free of charge. Despite being on the main road it was very quiet and I had two great nites of sleep . I had requested a room with a bath if possible and Lesley had reserved it for. All in All a great stay during a stressful time. It’s really close to attractions and shops and restaurants. You can easily walk everywhere.

United KingdomParking is a bit problematic as there are mainly parking permit areas near the property. But you can get a parking permit if you ask or park for free at certain times and then move your car.
Fabulous host, lovely breakfast provided, nice and quiet despite the property being near a road, very comfy bed, excellent bathroom with space for bathroom products, very near the centre of Worcester and very clean.

United KingdomShower a little under-powered but not a show- stopper. Not a guarantee of getting a parking permit as they are first come first served, but I secured one to my relief. Overall would definitely recommend though as these are minor points.
Very comfortable 2 night stay. Good sized room and comfortable bed. Very nice breakfast with plenty of choice to choose the night before. Great location, walkable to the canal, river and city centre. Would recommend or equally would stay again.

I really enjoyed staying at 'The Shubbery Guest House'. The room was a good size with good facilities. The shower was good and the bed comfortable. Lesley the host was very welcoming and had a great knowledge of the history of Worcester. Breakfast was very good. The location was about 15 minute walk (max) from the centre but with lots of paces to eat and drink nearby. I would definitely stay again.
