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 KingdomRestaurant/Bar were both unavailable during my visit, and no coffee in the room, nor anyone on reception in the morning to ask if there was any. Lack of pluigs by the desk or next to the bed. Didnt try the WIFI but 4G signal was good enough to stream and work. Overall for the price paid, and the time i spent in the room, it was fine, nothing special, but did what i needed.
Room was large, bed enormous and it had a good size desk for getting some work done.

United KingdomTo give a better first impression , outside areas need clearing of rubbish and weeds but this didn’t affect our stay. Could do with a set of extra pillows for the bed. (Personal preference)
For the price of the rooms you can’t grumble. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Decent amount of tea, coffee & sugar provided. Constant good flow of hot water. Easy check in & you can come & go 24/7

United KingdomThis place is very tired looking, both inside and out. They are trying hard to upgrade but I think it will take a while. A lot needs to be done. Still a slight cigarette smell throughout.
Good price. Value for money. Very good price for breakfast, only £4.99 for a cooked breakfast. If you don't expect a Travelodge even, then you get what you pay for. Friendly staff. Beds are very comfortable and the water pressure is strong and hot. Quite clean.

United Kingdomfamily room. no towel or pillow provided for baby... bathroom needed updating no plugs for bath or sink. dont believe in hospital corners on beds but tucked underneath mattress would of been nice... outdoor spaces around hotel needs major work. sitting areas outside very dirty tables not been cleaned.. waste bins in carpark overflowing. not just one but all of them in fact waste blowing around carpark. big shame hotel and grounds must of been lovely at one stage.. again staff made our stay couldn't do enough for us. extra pillows and towels.when asked for.. breakfast ok. but 4.99 was about all you should of paid. no bar at night which was a shame heard 2 or 4 guests on arrival ask about opening times. would think that bar in this kind of hotel and location would take money.
very good staff. credit to owners

United KingdomThere is only 1 negative I could think of, and that is from the outside it looked a bit messy and overgrown. It was a shame because there is some garden furniture you could utilise and have a nice evening sitting outside. Just a bit of garden TLC and weedkiller would solve it.
It was a very good location with easy access to main roads and routes. The hotel was clean, tidy, well presented, and well set out inside. The room was clean, comfortable, and quite spacious with a comfy bed, a nice bathroom, and a decent shower. Staff were friendly and polite. Breakfast was really nice too. Everything you needed for an enjoyable stay.
