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 KingdomA bit too pricey for what's included i.e no breakfast. I get why there isn't as there's no dining room etc however you need to adjust price as a result. Room 7 has a more limited bathroom than room 10 which is bigger. Didn't see much staff but not much of a greeting when they came to clean up. No 2nd pillow. They give you a normal bed pillow and a small square one with it. No doubt they would provide a 2nd pillow but shouldn't have to request one. No full length mirror which surely would impact female visitors and is very noticeable even though I personally don't need one. There is a big mirror only in the bathroom so extension cable would need to be brought in order to straighten hair for example.
Lovely clean room. Limitations on what they can do given the shape but decent effort in maximizing it. Connections to bus just nearby but equally 40 mins walk to Old Town and restaurants and shops nearby in the area. Modern bathroom. No check in reception is fine for me I quite like it. Keycode to get door key and done. Local information left on desk in hallway so super useful. Quality provided hand soap etc not cheap stuff. Excellent shower.

The room was clean and bright. Lovely big window looking out on the back gardens. The bathroom was clean and larger than others I have encountered. Hairdryer and iron supplied in room. Tea/coffee making facilities in room.

AustraliaThe room was small and had no view at all. The room narrowness only allowed a single bed, which was the only one I slept on in a month of touring the UK and France. The lack of any view was disappointing, but not unusual. The room was very warm, even with the window open. Leaving g the window open at night, without a mesh security screen is not ideal. I would have liked to have had a fan at least.
The room was modern, well-appointed and clean. It's proximity to city buses was an asset. Checking in and out was simple.

United KingdomWe were disappointed that, despite informing the property it was our anniversary and specifically requesting a double bed, we were given a twin room. Additionally, we had chosen this property based on the advertised parking availability, but upon arrival, we were unable to use any designated parking and had to park on the street instead.
The property was simple but well-maintained and clean.

United KingdomThe checking in process took time as there was no staff at the property. There was a ring doorbell and it too some time to get sorted. It did transpire that check in information was emailed close to check in time but I was unaware of this.
It was reasonably priced and very clean. It was also on a main bus route into the city centre.
