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 staff were lovely, especially the Night Manager . It was also great to have a cooked breakfast. The room was big but the facilities were not the best, although I appreciated the presence of a fan to keep one cool as well as the complimentary earbuds.
The bathroom was very cramped. The bed was only a single which should have been a double for that price. The bed was also situated where there was a gap with the wall which was not comfortable to sleep in at all.

Verified reviewThe staff were brilliant, they accommodated us perfectly, the barman that you have is an absolute legend, that man works so hard. He was doing at least 3 people's jobs by himself and for most of his shift too.
The room, we were in the sleepwell rooms at the other site. Well, we didn't sleep well at all, street facing, fighting going on right outside, the adjoining rooms were so noisy it was unbearable. I could imagine that if you were in the main hotel it would have been so much better but the outside rooms I really wouldn't bother, go find an air bnb, and for £164 a night I am absolutely shocked they dare charge that much for that shithole and I'm putting that nicely. Like I say main hotel, I could see the difference. Complaint incoming to the company.

Verified reviewLocation perfect, staff friendly, easy checkin/check out. Nice little touch in the room where brownies were left on arrival.
Breakfast less than average but did go out of there way to help with what was available. The place in general is tired and if a town with more choice would be last choice amongst most unfortunately.
Hi Dean, thank you for your review. If you have any suggestions for breakfast choices please email info@washingtoncentralhotel.co.uk. Thanks Emma

Verified reviewWe have to say, your staff are outstanding. Very friendly. Breakfast was lovely but don't understand why it can't be in the restaurant upstairs as it's empty over breakfast time. The breakfast area feels like a cafe and too cold. The staff there were amazing this morning though.
The breakfast area. The carpets as your probably aware need replacing. They do smell as they are old. We stayed in room 15 and there were black hairs on the shower wall and is probably still there. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay.

Verified reviewI found it very noisy because of the night club opposite. I talked to the staff and moved to a room the other side of the hotel. A peaceful night followed.
