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 KingdomThere was no lift and our rooms were on the second floor. A receptionist offered help with our luggage, but this was not necessary as our bags were not heavy. The rooms did not have a safe, but safe keeping of items is to my understanding available at the reception. This said, the positive factors far outweigh the negative ones and I would be happy to stay at this hotel again.
The hotel is located in the city centre, within a short walk to the Cathedral and bars plus restaurants etc. Our rooms were spacious enough, the beds were comfortable and everything worked as it should. The rooms were very clean, including after we returned to them after a day out. The housekeepers did a excellent job.

United Kingdomno free parking but we did get a discount for parking in the car park behind the hotel. you could not reserve a parking spot so just had to hope there would be space when you arrived.
the location was good very near the centre of the town and cathedral quarter. The staff were very helpful. I enjoyed the selection of food at breakfasts.

United KingdomI didn't like the furnishing or lighting in the bar/restaurant - it just wasn't cosy or tempting to eat there.
I loved the proximity to the centre and the ease of parking at the rear of the hotel. The room was spacious and quiet and the bed very comfy and big. The staff were so friendly and welcoming - it makes a big difference when travelling alone ( as a woman) to feel so welcomed and my cocker spaniel was extra welcome which also eased any worries I had about bringing him. The little rear garden makes a very pretty entrance from the car park.

United KingdomThe water pressure in the shower was disappointing. Like, it was ok and the temperature stable which is half the battle, but it was a bit sad.
The lady in reception was really friendly and helpful. I also liked the generous checkout (1200) which allowed me to go out in the morning without my stuff, come back and freshen up before my train home.

United KingdomWe felt totally ripped off at the bar on the pricing. we ordered half a pint of draught beer a glass of coke and a packed of crisps. Only one third of a pint was delivered because that was how the bar served the beer, plus a bottl e of coke and the crisps. The bill was £9!! which is mor than twice the usual rate and would not have been acceptable with prior Knowledge. This soured the moment and we did not stay for lunch.
