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 KingdomNo tea making facilities in the room although you can make it in the bar area. Toilet and shower all very close to beds behind a sheet of frosted glass and a curtain! Confusing lighting and air con/heating system.
Good location, clean room, good breakfast. Very quick check in. Good wifi. Great shower.

AustraliaBreakfast was not very nice and mostly unhealthy food. Pillows were hard but mattress was comfortable
Good location and clean rooms. We had a Premier King so was comfortable in relation to the size.. Reception staff were cold and not welcoming. Pillows were a bit hard so didn't have a good night sleep. Also you can hear noise in the corridors so it is not sound proof. Breakfast was very average. I would not recommend paying extra for breakfast. Better off going to the many local cafes

United KingdomWe were placed in a basement room, which we later found out was located right below the breakfast room. If you are a light sleeper you will be woken by the noise of chairs scraping across the floor above your room, as breakfast begins at the Hotel. This started about 0730 in the morning. It happened on both mornings for the time we stayed. No tea or coffee in the Hotel room itself, but plenty available in the bar area.
Hotel in a decent location and fine for our needs.

United KingdomTea/coffee facilities. There really was so little to dislike, and we will be back.y
The Hotel was a first for us but will no doubt use it again. Staff were great and the Hotel, rooms etc was great. The only small criticism was due to lack of tea/coffee Facilities in room, (None) this meant using the Tea/coffee downstairs in bar area, brilliant but way too often we had to ask for cups etc, surely someone over seeing that area and topping up, cups, pie, coffee etc would have been great.

United KingdomLack of cooperation from the initial receptionists at check in. Asked for help signing in, but she pointed to the terminal and turned and walked away. Room number was then texted to you, but due to poor phone reception it took ages to get. Ended up snapping at receptionist to get the room number. We had a VIP Suite with view, the view was of air conditioning pipes and rooftops. Description said cooking facilities (none there). It had an empty fridge (no cans of pop or bottled water etc) and kettle (no milk pods to go with tea or coffee sachets). Remember this is supposed to be VIP. Ended up searching for a convenience store to buy milk. Lounge floor was stained and there were some food patches from previous occupants. Areas of the sofa also need a good clean as liquid stained. Being disabled the access ramp up to hotel entrance was much appreciated. On Friday there was an additional ramp up to the foyer. However this was removed on Saturday morning and stored away. This then made the rest of the stay very difficult and painful to enter and exit the property.
Location was good. Key system to operate the lift took a bit of getting used to, but the concept was good. The room size was amazing. Bedroom was brilliant.
