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 StatesThe room is located above the restaurant, so there is activity and noise late into the night, then again starting at 0530. The shower/tub drain is very slow. There are areas of black mold or mildew in the hallway. It is a very old building with no lift, a lot of stairs, and tight corners, so not the best option for a traveler with large or multiple pieces of luggage. Plus it could use a bit more TLC in some places.
Tobias Elkins. The room is spacious and clean with nice decor. The bed is comfortable, and hypoallergenic bedding was provided as requested. There are multiple windows which can be opened to keep a comfortable temperature, plus a fan is available. There are adequate accessible outlets. The location is prime to see the city on foot. The staff is amazing! They are extremely friendly and courteous, going above and beyond to be helpful.

United KingdomConsider an electric shower as the hot water took a considerable time to reach temeperature, which I completely understand given the origins and layout of the hotel. It was not a deal breaker for us as we were not in a rush to be anywhere and once we knew it required more time to build up temperature we took that into account. Other than that the stay was lovely and relaxing. We had everything we needed like iron and Ironing board, complimentary water each day, tea & coffee with cookies and efficient room refresh service.
Room was a substantial suite with a fabulous large bed, nice bathroom and comfortable lounge area. It was lovely and quiet and had a really nice old world charm and character.

United StatesIt was hot, with large windows and a western exposure. There was a non-working air conditioner and we were told that there was no air-conditioning available in the hotel. The hotel is a bit of a warren, with short and long stairs on long hallways leading to rooms.
The location in the center of Guildford. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff, particularly Suman, were very helpful and pleasant.

United KingdomNo parking, but just use local car parks or parking app. Sofa bed was very firm. Could do with a topper.
I love this hotel. So old and charming but also very comfortable. I have always had rooms towards the rear of the property and have not been bothered by street noise. This time we stayed in Emma Sclater (a suite) which was actually 2 rooms with a bathroom between them. Large sofabed in the lounge and a massive comfy super king in the bedroom. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe decor was a bit tired and the front rooms are beautiful but windows are single glazed and so you hear the night revellers - so don’t sleep at the front of the building if you’re a light sleeper
Great old building the front bedrooms have lots of features such as 4 poster beds and beamed ceilings.
