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 KingdomThere were a couple of aspects where the hotel would benefit from a bit more care and attention to detail. A red bull can outside our first floor not removed, some rusting on bathroom pipes that had extended onto tiles

United KingdomUnfortunately the restaurant was closed due to the gas not working.
I booked it especially as it was a dinner bed and breakfast deal, but unfortunately the kitchen had a malfunction so we couldn’t have our dinner. But we ended up going to Browns next door for a very expensive meal instead. The bed was very comfortable and our room was upgraded for free + cocktails for free. The staff were extremely friendly & we would definitely visit again.

SwitzerlandBathtube quite high, meaning for elderly people I can imagine not really easy to climb it to get under the shower. All in all not very elderly or walking impared people friendly. It starts with 3 very high steps at the staire at entrance. The lift was broken and could not be used. The bar is in a cellar and believe can olny be accessed though the staircase.
Room has a good size. Personnel very friendly and helpful. Windows can be opened. Room on the back very quiet

United KingdomIt would have been useful to know the hotel is under some reconstruction when booking, the whole frontage is heavily scaffolded and also our courtyard was scaffolded so was not pleasant at all to sit out there under the metal beams and significant intrusion into the suite space. Our room wasn't ready on arrival at 3pm and we had to wait just over an hour and a half to access it. Staff were helpful and apologetic and we had a free cocktail in the lounge and the duty manager attended to the situation suitably, but this was still unacceptable (especially more when paying for a suite) and cut into our leisure time where we could have done something else and gone a little later if advised. There was an ant on the breakfast menu and when we commented, it was casually acknowledged that ants were an issue at the moment! In fairness, I only saw one but not too pleasant on your breakfast menu!
The suite we booked was lovely, spacious and comfortable. The bed was extra large and the linen quality was excellent for a great night's sleep. The bathroom area was large with a fabulous free standing bath and a monsoon shower, good products to use, too. Double vanity and a well presented space. Was nice to have a courtyard outside and the door to allow air through. Perfect temperature in the room even though was a really hot day, Fascinating glass covered original well feature in the room, quality TV and everything needed to relax and restore. Breakfast was good with a good range of food on the buffet and freshly cooked to order hot breakfast too.
