How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe door to leave
1. No staff 2. Creepy sounds at night time outside my door 3. My window didn’t close 4. Looks like blood stains in my shower 5. Stuff from previous still in the room 6. Floor was dirty and tv didn’t work 7. House keeping man came in my room after me getting there 2 hours and he didn’t knock I was sleeping and he just showed up inside my room and couldn’t understand me (I’m English ). 8. Noisy neighbourhood (it’s in a council estate with rough people). 9. Plug sockets didn’t work only 1 worked out of the entire room which has 10 pug sockets. 10. No soap ? For a hotel that is very poor not worth 70 pounds 11. Dull lights no air conditioning 12. Had me wait outside to ring a number to be let in although I already had requested early access so that was there fault on their behalf. 13. Overall creepy and abandoned hotel that doesn’t offer any drinks or food doesn’t even have a fending machine. 14. Mugs were dirty so I couldn’t even drink out of them if I even wanted to. 15. Stains on wall and ceiling as if it hasn’t been painted sense 1916 16. As a girl teenager I wouldn’t recommend any female especially to stay here if you don’t like Jeffrey dahmer vibes :)

Verified reviewPlease don't stay here if you are expecting quaint English hospitality. The pub has been closed since before COVID lockdown. Has been particularly renovated to separate rooms but old furniture still remains including the bar, slot machines and wood fixtures. No-one to greet, check in is done via RING Doorbell and rooms coded to allow access! Room fairly clean but other areas left as they were when pub closed. Large room and shower. Coffee and tea facilities. No hangers in room but storage. Area surrounding hotel has building work and in a dead end. Price reflects standard.
All of the above.

Verified reviewAbsolutely nothing!
We asked for an earlier check-in weeks before the staying and they never answered. We arrived at the scheduled time and they weren’t there. I needed to call them, wait for a waitress and go finally inside. We booked a room for two and inside we got just one towel, I needed to ask for another one and the reception was nothing more than a bunch of dismissed cabinets, like straight outta the garbage dump. Also, a man was asleep on the “sofa” there, he clearly wasn’t a guest. The mattress was terrible, like made of water and pins. No clean rules, dust was everywhere.
