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 was no hairdryer in the room so used the watsapp number yo request one. We were going out 2 hours after the request but there was no response. We finally received a response 4 1/2 hours later when we were already at an event and wife had to make do with straighteners. We could have gone down to reception and ask personally snd I'm sure would've been assisted. Comment is ore to highlight if you have a watsapp number instead of a phone in the rooms then it needs to be monitored affectively and responded to. Room was a little noisy.
Location was excellent, staff were very helpful. We were able to drop off our bags earlier in the day.

United KingdomIt didn’t have a wardrobe really, just hangers to hang items. Would have preferred more variety at breakfast.
I really liked the location and that it had a good breakfast. Basic but good. The room was good, and comfortable beds and clean all over. Staff were really nice especially the housekeeping staff. The dining area/seating area downstairs was really nice and handy to have a free coffee/tea machine downstairs.

United KingdomI would have preferred a cupboard space in the room since it was a long stay and also expected lactose free milk other than soya which was a turn down.
I loved the staff facilities that were available. Extremely helpful and always happy to help customers. More importantly, cleanliness was a priority so it's was a pleasure to be there.

AustraliaWe booked a family room. In the description it was mentioned a sitting area and 2 beds, but the second bed was the sitting couch, which made the room with no sitting area excepts the beds. Not very practical.
Beds were comfortable. Paid breakfast (9 pounds, free for kids) is not bad, there is a little bit for everyone. Location near center of the city.

United KingdomOn the other hand, it would be ideal to have a water dispenser in the reception corner. There was a large jug with lemon, but the tap wasn’t very practical, making it difficult to fill a glass. All the staff were very kind, and reception was great, although the breakfast staff could be a bit more friendly and smiley, as they didn’t even greet us. Also, the housekeeper knocked on our door early in the morning to check if we were still in the room.
It was our first time in an Ibis Styles and we were pleasantly surprised. At reception there’s a corner with a coffee and tea machine, an ice dispenser and magazines, always available for guests. The room was very clean, the bed large and comfortable (two singles joined together, but the gap wasn’t noticeable). The bathroom with shower was practical, with excellent water pressure. A small sign indicated that courtesy sets (toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, etc.) were available at reception, but we didn’t need any. The air conditioning worked perfectly as well. Breakfast was very good, with plenty of choices for everyone. Overall, we had a great stay and will definitely be back!

United KingdomExcellent hotel, easy check in/out. spotless, friendly staff, buffet style breakfast, not a massive selection, but plenty of what was on offer. Pancake machine was fab!There's a free hot drinks machine and ice machine in the lobby, as well as tea/coffee in the room. Room was spotless - towels, iron, hairdryer, and a/c. Underground parking (£15 -24hrs) with a lift straight to the lobby. There's a Tesco express about a 5 min walk from the hotel, which was super handy. Will definitely use this hotel again on future trips to Birmingham. Here's a pic of my pancakes,bacon and honey!😋
