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 KingdomOnly issue we found was that being on the 6th floor the room was very warm at night even with the window open. We did put the air-conditioning on but it took ages for the room to cool down.
Hotel is located close to the city centre with a 10 minute walk. Room was clean and spacious and staff were friendly.

United KingdomThe shower gel in the container had finished (I tested it against the shampoo and conditioner, which worked perfectly well from an identical container). The extractor fan wouldn’t switch off, even in the many hours between my dropping off my bag and return in the wee hours). And yes, I had switched off the bathroom light! Still I managed to nod off immediately, being so tired.
The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the 24 hour front desk was appreciated (I was visiting Birmingham for a concert that finished at 3 am). When I closed the window it pretty much cut out outside sounds of traffic etc.

United KingdomThe only slight issue we had was the room was very hot, we tried to work the air con but couldn’t seem to set the temperature and cool the room down. We left the windows open whilst we was out which helped but had to close these to sleep as noise from the roads.
The beds were very comfortable, 10/10 sleep. Spacious rooms and well decorated throughout the hotel.

United KingdomWhen we returned from the theater we were met by a security guard asking if we were.staying in the hotel, we told them the room number and our name and they said " no your not staying here" as he checked his piece of paper, it took a few minutes of discussion before another member of staff came and said yes they are here! All very confusing and upsetting after a great night

Being refurbished and think it reflected in the price, good value for money and only a short walk to venues, Bullring, China Town. Clean. Nice breakfast - freshly baked croissants were the best.

The hotel was in a fantastic location, close to everything I needed, and it was very convenient for getting around. The gentleman on reception was welcoming, polite, and extremely helpful, which made check-in smooth and pleasant. My room was spotless, cosy, and well presented, with a spacious bathroom and a powerful shower that was a real highlight after a long day. Breakfast was very good, with easy booking on the day and plenty of seating available. The only downside was some noise from ongoing renovations, but this is only temporary, not the fault of the hotel, and it would not put me off staying again. Overall, it was excellent value, I felt very well looked after, and I have already recommended the hotel to my family and friends. 🧡

United KingdomMy only complaint is how incredibly warm it is, especially on the top floor where all the heat is rising. The air conditioning doesn’t really do much for the temperature and once you close the curtains it doesn’t matter if you have the window open since it blocked out all the air flow so it ends up being horribly humid as well. This is probably fine during colder months but I think proper air conditioning would be a huge help during the warmer weather.
Everything was clean and comfortable, the shower was amazing. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and we loved the infused water - especially the watermelon, lemon and mint in the lobby where we’d both get a glass of it every time we went past. The location was great, easy to walk to several parts of the city which was also great to save money too! Easy walk to Chinatown for some amazing food, the sea life centre was very close and perfect for a day out and there’s plenty of nightlife if that’s your thing! Absolutely loved it here and would happily stay again.
