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 KingdomUnfortunately Hamlet Hotel Maidstone is looking a little shabby, from the old.signs outside, to the poor fitting carpet at the bottom of the stairs. This place needs a fresh pair of eyes to tidy up a few loose ends and it would be a great place to stay .
Hamlet hotel maidstone has a great bunch of staff from front of house to the house cleaning team we met on our way out . A happy helpful bunch that improved our stay.

United KingdomThe room door was noisey when closing as was other room doors. The overhead door closer requires adjusting on many doors. I also noticed the hinges to the doors were not up to the current regulations. As a Fire Door Inspector it is something i noticed needs addressing.

United KingdomFacilities are dated and need upgrading. The carpet etc. You had to pay £25 to get room cleaned. I suspect they are short staffed… May be due to Reeves taxes and increase NIC contributions ??
The staff were very pleasant and responded promptly and professionally to our request including upgrading to a family room. Shout out to Chloe who was a superstar to my wife as she exceptional good. There was good parking space which is an issue in similar hotels in London

United KingdomAdditional cost per hour for early check in and late check out which do docs not match the FAQ’s. Very dated property that requires some love. Window opens onto a parking bay and no net curtains. Window does not close so fairly noisy. Dinner was an issue and the recommendation was Subway!
Good size room. Breakfast included.

SpainIt's was not a good start. We got to our room to find the previous occupants' clothes still in the drawers. We were given a free king size upgrade to move rooms. When occupied, the rooms are not cleaned daily. They are only cleaned during your stay if you pay an extra fee. The decor and furniture are very dated. Drawer handles were missing, and our second room did not have a hairdryer, although it had an iron and ironing board.
Friendly reception staff. Free parking and breakfast included.

United KingdomLocation, as being without a car meant that I had to either use Public Transport or Taxis to get anywhere, as no shops OR facilities anywhere nearby, which made it quite inconvenient for any alternative options on Meals or entertainment, apart from TV. However, Staff were very efficient and helpful, which did make my stay there easier.
Hotel Staff were nice and very helpful. The Bed was very comfortable and room size was clean and tidy and there was very little Road Traffic Noise from outside the room. Breakfast was good quality but was NOT included in the Price.

The staff were excellent. Very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. plenty of it and very tasty. The management seem eager to learn and want to improve.

United KingdomThe room did not have AC which is normally not a problem for the U.K. and felt tired. I was also on the ground floor so didn’t feel comfortable opening the windows.
The hotel has easy parking and is well located for the motorway network just off the M20, with supermarkets and petrol next door. The staff were all very pleasant and welcoming. Also very much enjoyed the breakfast and very pleasant waitress. Very good value.

United KingdomThe shower was a drench shower whish is ok but without a hand held shower its not easy to get all the sudds off your body which is a pain, Also it is hard to get plenty of air through the room but there was a fan in teh wardrobe which is good.
The bed was comfortable - very important and the room was large with a desk to work at which is why I booked the hotel. I hate small poky rooms. The windows open properly so you could try and get some air intot he room.
