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 KingdomThe lift wasn't available and there's a lot of stairs. The room was very warm and the tower fan was too noisy to leave on. The motion sensor for the bathroom light wasn't brilliant and kept turning the light off when I was in the shower. It was good to see the file about the hotel in my room. But it could've done with information about local tourist areas too.
Location was perfect. Not too far to walk to get to places in the town. The bed was very comfy and the double headed shower was fab. The staff were friendly, polite and attentive. The bar was pleasant and the cocktails were lovely. Breakfast was delicious.

United KingdomThere was nothing to really dislike, if I was being really picky, the bed could have had more corner support, but I slept well.
It was a last minute decision and one of my best, although the limited car park was full, it was easy to park on the road outside. Our room was stated to be small, but was plenty big enough and had more than we needed. We tried the Orchid in house restaurant, it is a mixed Asian style and offers superb food at a good price. We went for a walk and was surprised how close we were to the centre and park. It is a lovely hotel, in a great position and we were very pleased we experienced it, I was really surprised with it being so central, how quiet it was outside, no busy road or shouting, I would highly recommend this great hotel.

United KingdomOur room wasn’t made up after our first night’s stay (we were there for 4 nights). A note was pushed under the door to say that as we hadn’t hung out the “make up room” sign, it wasn’t cleaned! We have travelled the world and have never experienced this. We understand the policy in hotels to save the environment and always hang up our towels and ask for the bed not to be changed but housekeeping always visit the room to make the bed, refresh the cups, replenished tea etc. In our experience, the sign is used when you want your room made up at an unusual time or have missed the maid, not for everyday use. If the hotel wants to use this method then it should be made clear on check in. Without this we would have given a higher score
We didn’t have breakfast The location is superb with even free parking a short walk away. We ate at the Orchid restaurant one evening and had a fabulous meal. We would fully recommend it. The staff were mostly helpful & friendly

United KingdomThe room was extremely hot, with a ceiling fan but no air conditioning! Also the view out of the room was spoilt by work barriers on the grass in front of the Valley gardens.
The staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We also got an upgrade of room which was a lovely surprise. Only downside was I was charged more for original booking!
