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 KingdomThe rooms were quite small and bathroom was so tight as well all a bit closed in. No air con just fans and when I stayed it was roasting so wasn’t the best night sleep.
It was your basic standard hotel. Clean and comfy alright for a nights stay

United KingdomNot a problem for me, but be aware that there are stairs rather than lifts to 1st and 2nd floors. As other reviewers have said, the bathroom is on the small size, but that was no problem for a solo traveller.
Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Despite being next to a busy main road it was quiet - double glazing works well. Surprisingly close to the centre of Manchester and its attractions. It was only about a 20 minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly station and under ten minutes from Manchester Victoria. At least one really good pub nearby (New Oxford, off Chapel Street).

United KingdomThe toilet seat in my room was very loose and I had problems with the flush, to the point that I had to get the receptionist to show me how to use it. There was a nack to it and it worked once I figured it out, but it was an extra performance, EVERY flush. Also I reported the toilet seat issue on day one, to be told they would get someone to fix it the next day and I arranged a time. No one came and when I checked with reception, I was told the maintenance person didn't turn up, yet they didn't tell me that. I had to work with a faulty toilet seat for the rest of my stay, which was several days, which was manageable but not enjoyable. It should have been fixed before I got there.
I've stayed at this hotel before and not had any issues to the point that I rebooked. There are takeaways just round the corner and it's within a reasonable walk from the city centre. The bed was very comfortable and reception staff were very friendly and helpful most of the time. I was also able to get a late check out which I needed and it was easy to sort out parking in their car park, even though it's extra.

United KingdomThe room was mostly clean but some old hairs left in the bath quite large ones, and the spare pillow in the room had stains on it. You also have pay for parking and it’s not cheap. I haven’t had to pay to park at a hotel I’m staying at before.

United KingdomSome areas in the bathroom could do with a more detailed clean, shower cubicle door area was black and the drain didn't work, had to stop the shower several times to let it drain. Also a sheltered smoking / vaping area would be an advantage.

Very calm and smooth experience checking in, getting breakfast, checking out. Hotel could do with a brush up and refresh of bathrooms but everything fairly comfortable, I always like having a kettle.
