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 KingdomNothing major but I was a solo traveller and some staff seemed confused by this to begin with which made me feel self conscious, especially when dining. On the whole though, a lovely experience.

United KingdomA few of the bits in the room were a bit tired. Bathroom didnt match the quality of the rest of the room or hotel. Hairdryer needed to be replaced and the soap was empty, staff sorted out hairdryer immediately though 😊 would have expected robe and slippers for the price and type of the hotel.
Very convenient location for the centre. Staff extremely friendly and some really great extras (sparkling water and ice tap in the corridor!!). The spa was really great, nice and quiet and lots of facilities to use

United StatesI feel like this hotel lacked soul and any sort of effort to go above and beyond, which I'd expect at this price point. The breakfast was completely self-serve, including beverages, and yet there always seemed to be a line for the one function they bothered to staff -- making sure you paid. The breakfast itself was pretty forgettable. The room needed an update. The plastics were badly yellowed. Front desk staff were completely missing when we went to find them. Later, they failed to relay a message about a booked driver waiting outside. Staff seemed wooden. Each of these is totally forgivable, but it seemed to be a pattern.
The rooms, beds specifically were comfortable. Everything was clean, lobby bathrooms worked. No checkin/checkout/keycard issues. Basic needs were taken care of. Like many hotels, the bathroom has moved to large bottles of products vs. disposables, but they use squeeze bottles which work remarkably well compared to pumps that always seem to have problems.

United StatesI thought this was pretty expensive for what it was but we had limited options for the time of year. There was also not enough staff in the bar restaurant/hotel. I’ve truly never seen service like it and I can’t fault the staff doing their best but management should consider hiring a few more people to cover the amount of guests and speed up wait times for drinks and dinner. Also Despite being perfectly nice rooms they gave my one of our party the only queen size room in the building and called it a King - the room itself was fine but feel like we couldn’t payed slightly less for a slightly smaller room.
The rooms themselves were nice and comfortable with quality facilities overall. It’s located in a quiet area that’s a short walk from downtown.

United StatesStaff seemed not to know much about services and especially the wait staff in the Copper Room. Service there was chaotic and choice and quality of food was not great. I had made an error in my booking and needed to extend the stay in one room by one night - when I asked staff the status of my request in some cases they were dismissive and not sympathetic to my needs. I did get the room as I checked just after someone had checked out early. In that case I was helped by a more senior more competent staff member.
spacious lobby that allowed our group to gather and chat. Variety of food at breakfast buffet.

IrelandWhen we arrived information was limited no details where anything was , as a couple celebrating a few occasions together rooms are not very romantic for the price of the rooms, the bar man was so under pressure we waited a long time to be served also we wanted dessert nobody came with a menu we waited nearly an hour so didn't get any and then waited at the bar again to pay disappointed, but it was no fault of the bar man , the hotel itself is lovely and would be worth another stay but very expensive for what yous offer, need to get information of guests as what brings them to the hotel when paying so much for a room guests need to feel special
Location is perfect
