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 Wi-Fi did not work in my room, and the staff told me “they’d been having problems for the last two or three weeks” - so why not get it fixed? The booking website specifically states “free Wi-Fi in rooms”. But when I asked, and suggested, say, a free breakfast in compensation (which would actually cost the hotel very little) the manager declined, and I was told that Wi-Fi is not included in the room price. A public relations own goal.
Comfortable, clean, well located. Sense of history.

United Kingdomthe decor needed a freshen up. holes in the wall had tissue jammed in them instead of being filled and painted. the sign outside the window screeched all night in the wind. the breakfast service in the morning was unbelievably poor. other guests left without having the meal they had paid for as it took so long. we only just got out in time for check out as it took over 45 minutes for the breakfast to arrive.
room was spacious, the building was beautiful, steeped in history. located in the centre of the city and only a short walk to the beautiful revamped docks. good food just a long wait to get it. the build your own breakfast is a fabulous idea.

United KingdomI stayed on a Monday night. The bar in the hotel was a little deserted which was a shame, but I suppose many bars are on Mondays.
My room was on the first floor overlooking Northgate. There were crowds of shoppers and a few noisy people walking past during the day, but it was still enjoyable to people watch as they wandered by. At night, the street was deserted. The hotel is in the middle of Gloucester and well placed for the Cathedral and other historical sites. The hotel itself is a galleried coaching inn and is a truly splendid building in tis own right. I stayed in Gloucester for the one night. I went sighting-seeing during my frirst day there and on the second day caught a bus (40 minutes) to Cheltenham for another day's sight-seeing there before returning home.

United KingdomVolume of music (including music put on after midnight only for the benefit of the staff who were tidying up). I had intended to eat in the hotel but it would have been impossible to have a quiet conversation with fellow guests.
Room was quiet, though fellow guests were unable to sleep as they were facing either the street or the courtyard

United KingdomGrubby around the window, restricted gap only at the base for air. Damaged wall fitting hanging which I reported. I was fed up with the loudish music from the bar all the time.
The room was fine is a tad run down. Breakfast was very good both days. Excellent location for me. Good sized bathroom and not a tiny room.

United KingdomThe building and accommodation were as expected, bearing in mind the age and nature of the building, but I was expecting the pub to serve hand-pulled real ale; alas it was all lager and a top-pressure ale.
Quirky, very historic pub. The accommodation and limited facilities reflect the age of this listed building. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Initially I feared the car parking situation, but it turned out to be easy and convenient, if a little expensive (although it wouldn't have been had I left by 08.00!). The location is excellent, right in the middle of Gloucester.

United KingdomStep just inside room doorway could cause a problem Ended up getting locked out of the hotel as the courtyard gates were locked after 11pm and we had to find the manager to let us in at around 11.45pm. The description of the accommodation said that there was no curfew but that turned out to be incorrect
Very helpful staff The wonky floors and walls of our room all added to the overall character of the house Room was clean and quite large The bed was comfortable

United KingdomCan't think of anything
Wonderful historic building with nice rooms. Access to rooms is via stairs in courtyard, so might not be the best if you have mobility issues. Bar is an old & historic room, but comfortable. Surprisingly the beer selection, although large, was quite modern/standard - it looked like it should have real ales, but that might be my bias.
