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 self check-in system with the codes doesn't work well. It would be better if they reverted back to the old system of checking in people face to face at reception. This is much better for security, and creating a positive start.
A big shout out to Komal, the manager who dealt with my extension request in a timely and efficient manner. She was SO sweet and kind, and really made my day!

United KingdomI don’t like the self check in system, it does not make sense and the codes were invalid multiple times. The team gave me the codes which were not work in, I literally struggled to get into my room. I would request this hotel to stop this automated system.
Komal was very helpful with the whole process.

United KingdomNo one is ever on reception. Online check in didn’t work so had to call the hotel to get the code which I could barely hear because of bad signal. I bumped into the lady who answered the phone while looking for my room seconds later. No one there during check out either Feels like a self check-in AirBnB even though you are in a hotel and would be less hassle if someone was there on the desk to deal with guest problems. There was a serious leak in my shower and I wanted to tell someone but no staff Thin walls and I was kept up by people talking at midnight Perfectly fine for one night though
Fantastic location in Clifton, right next to the university Decent, clean room, all amenities provided Good value for money Comfortable TV, tea and coffee

United KingdomIf you have any mobility issues, this hotel is unsuitable for you (no lift, and many stairs). The hotel would really benefit from some investment, for example fresh carpets as the current ones are very stained.
The young lady on reception was very helpful and polite. The bed was comfortable, and although the hotel and room was rather run down, it did appear clean.

United Kingdom24/7 telephone support was not available. Also really stressful check-in as no one on reception.a kind guest let me in, otherwise I'd be waiting on the street. There needs to be someone on reception. No toiletries in my room as promised nor was there a place to keep my bike safe. I felt really sorry for all those people waiting to check in and find there was no receptionist or rooms as promised. Also tv very small and at the far end of the room, hopeless for watching.
It was a comfortable bed and having tea, coffee and milk was great Was able to keep my bike inside as no places to lock up my bike as I had been told. Receptionist helpful when she arrived.

United KingdomThe only thing that brought fear in us was someone trying to break the room 4 in the morning He was continuously trying the passcodes n was not saying anything when we were asking who it was. That was a very bad and insecurity what we felt. What if he would have got inside with a bad intention. Please do look at the cctv footage of 25.03.25 at 4 in the morning . And plz make sure that this doesn’t happens with someone else. This will ruin yur goodwill in the market.
The facility and everything was perfect. The room was beautiful well placed with everything. Slightly issue with the heating but its fine bcz the weather was good.

United KingdomWe arrived before our 3pm check in and wanted to ask where we could park our car (we was told when we booked that they had limited parking but if that was full they would advise where we could park!) there was no one at the hotel, no way of getting in and no one answering the phone!!! At 3pm when we could access the hotel the member of staff on reception had no idea where to park it was another guest that advised us. Room was clean enough although carpet was quite stained. Bed was a bit hard and pillows flat and uncomfortable! Ok for one night but not sure I will return.
It was a good location for us to visit our son.

United KingdomSingle rooms are very small and have a shared bathroom. They’re at the very top, there’s no lift and the stairs are very steep for an unfit old bloke! OK in the winter but being at the top of the building and having no A/C, it would probably be quite a hot room in the summer.
