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 StatesThe place is right next to a bar which normally wouldn't bother me. But after a long trip it was a bit difficult to sleep with the loud music late into the night. Didn't effect us, but not much to do in the area.
Decent and affordable place when all you need is just a place to sleep for the night. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Chinaoverall the hotel room is lack of design and the bathroom is narrow. The mattress is too soft to hold people in a proper position of sleeping.
The shower water is very comfortable and there is a fridge in the room. Considering the price, it was a fair stay.

SloveniaFriday night and the karaoke night (which we luckily knew about in advance) was annoying. We had to keep our windows closed during the night or we’d get zero sleep due to the noise from the main road . The last night of our stay was crazy and quite frightening since there was some shouting next door, someone trying to break into our room at midnight and then it took 2 more hours dor the owner or the police to arrive and to remove the guy who was knocking on the door next to us. Not something that would’ve ever happened to us before but I guess we weren’t as surprised considering the area hotel is located in.
It was okay.

Ok for one night. Staff very friendly & helpful.

United KingdomI didn't realise hotel and "bar" meant effectively cocktail bar, with music until 12:30 before closing at 1am on a Friday and Saturday night. I was here for an event at driftland 5 minutes down the road over the weekend, now normally I'm a night owl. However when I need to be up at 8 latest and there are drunkards shouting and slamming things, sleep wasn't abundant. Easily up until 1:30 before I could actually get decent sleep. Sunday night though was wonderful. The shower also took rather a long time to get "hot" at maximum temperature it was just warm and took about 5-10 minutes to get there. Parking is also an issue, there's on street parking right outside which for my use case was fine as i used it outside the restricted time. I believe it was 8-6pm Monday to Saturday max 30 mins and no return in 1hr. So while I'd recommend staying here during the week sunday-thursday to avoid unwanted late nights, parking may be an issue. There is more parking round the corner but I didn't use this so can't comment on it.
The accomodation here is quite pleasant. Beds are comfy and clean, great bathroom. Reasonably good value for money and the staff were very friendly.

United KingdomThere was a leak stain on the ceiling with a small amount of mould showing through. The leak looked like it had been fixed. Some marks on the carpet. You expect a bit better for £108 a night so should be more like £40 to £60 then it would be a great value as well.
Close to the train station close to supermarkets. Fridge in the room which we needed clean bathroom comfy beds. Sky T.v. Everything you need iron hairdryer internet.

United KingdomFob locking mechanism on main door to accommodation felt a bit flimsy; only one catch at the top was holding door locked. Not the most secure, but all rooms have their own secure locks so didn't feel unsafe. Could also have done with a second key as my other half and I did our own thing on one evening & wasn't easy to coordinate our movements; our respective events finished at different times.
Excellent location for visiting the Racewall as well as access to & from the Station. Room was clean, a good size and the bathroom was again clean and well equipped. Staff were great; friendly and efficient. Didn't get the chap's name behind the bar but he was friendly and check-in was a breeze. Janet the housekeeper was friendly, efficient and checked we had everything we needed

United KingdomThe rooms are situated next to the pub. The musty smell was not nice at all, and the only downfall in the room was the smell...no matter how much I sprayed?! There was a gurgling noise, which I assume was a boiler somewhere in the building. Very loud and kept us awake all night 😔 the room was very clean clean, and shower was great!
We didn't expect much for 70 quid a night, so was pleasantly surprised at the facilities in the room. Fridge, iron/board, good tea and coffee and hairdryer..

United KingdomWe managed to park our car, but I think parking could be a problem, if they have more guests arriving in cars.
There is no breakfast available, but the room was spacious and clean. The hotel looks a bit dated, but the new owners are working hard to get everything updated. Even Rome wasn’t built in a day. The owners and staff are very friendly and made us very welcome. Looking forward to the next visit. The location was just perfect for us.

United KingdomNo WiFi code in room. Had to go down to bar if wanted to acquire it. Bed not very comfortable. Quilt cover had seen better days. Sloping unusable shelf in bathroom. No anti fog mirror. Loud music until late although not unexpected over a pub. No option for food or breakfast. No parking with property although free parking on street. Few restaurants nearby only takeaways.
Fridge in room was very useful. Excellent modern window blinds. Had iron, ironing board, hairdryer and proper coat hangers. All sadly lacking in many a more expensive hotel we have stayed in. Good travelling distance to knockhill race circuit. Pleasant staff. Good communication with hotel. Easy check in/out
