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 property is very good value and quite centrally located. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly.
The bathroom was shabby and the whole place felt a bit rough around the edges.

Verified reviewYou cannot fault the place for the price. More than half price of its nearest competitors. Yes the decor is a bit tired but the rooms are a great size and I sleep like a baby when I stay here. The staff are great, so much so that I play chess with one of them, every time I stay!
Shared bathroom but I have never had any problems. The shower is hot and powerful. Never had anyone trying to interrupt/use the bathroom at the same time as me

Verified reviewCheap accommodation, but that's about all I can say for it.
Where do I start? It is a totally grotty, very run down pub that doesn't serve meals — the sort of place I (as a single female traveller) would not have touched with a bargepole if I knew what it was before I booked it. It's in a dodgy area of town that I would have preferred not to be in as well. Guy who runs it has an over-friendly, uncontrollable large dog that jumps on everyone; I'm not scared of dogs, but that is way beyond unprofessional, as is the entire character of the place. Room was shabby and stank of stale sweat even after having the window open all day. No washbasin in the room, and the shared bathroom was not very nice. Didn't use the shower, as it had a communal sponge and shower puff (artificial loofah) in it... from a hygiene perspective, UGHHH. The door of my room was extremely difficult to open (needed shoving or kicking most times) and the lock was difficult to operate as well — unnerving given how creepy the whole place was. Best I can say is, the bed was not too uncomfortable and the bedding was clean. Will not be staying there again and I don't recommend that anyone else should either. The whole establishment desperately needs total renovation or else (probably better and cheaper) demolition.

The room was distressed. Wallpaper was peeling from the wall.The curtains had ceased to meet. The lock on the door was faulty. The ceiling had damp stains.The divan bottom was stained too. In the bathroom the taps on the sink did not work. The carpet has been vacuumed badly. The bedding was clean. The shower was good There was no toilet paper. It was difficult to speak to the staff as they were overworked in the bar The noise from the bar permeated into the upstairs room.

Verified reviewFriendly and welcoming staff – we didn't need any help during our short stay, but I'm sure they'd have bent over backwards to help. Our room was spacious with a comfy bed, and being able to use the shared kitchen was a nice bonus. Parking at the back of the pub was also handy.
It's a run-down old pub and very tired – it looks genuinely terrible from the outside. The bathroom, while clean, was grotty, and our bedroom had definitely seen better days too. That said, given the low price compared to other nearby hotels (even the YHA), we'd happily book there again.

Verified reviewStaff very helpful. An inexpensive night in the town I wanted. Comfy bed. Clean.
The rooms and corridors were clean, but badly in need of TLC (paintwork etc). I don’t mind sharing a bathroom, but the fact that the only loo for the rooms was in the bathroom is likely to annoy others as well as me.

Verified reviewLow end, low budget, not to my liking. It might appeal to the “Britain on $60 a Day” crowd but it held no sppeal to me.
On a busy street with traffic noise from 5 am to Midnight. Very old building with not much done to fix it up. Security system was old and cranky. Shared shower stall needed to be cleaned.
