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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomSee above.
the location is great and the parking space at the back of the hotel convenient and usually not full. Our room was quiet at the back of the hotel. My bed was a little spongy, so might be worth updating the twin beds and even though we had the window open most of the time, apart from when it was raining, the room was very stuffy and warm. Apart from that, all good.

United KingdomDidn't like the huge potholes when entering the car park. Bathroom needs a bit of an update. Restaurant wasn't open.
Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Receptionist checked me in quickly and the barman showed me to my room. Room had a safe and a fridge which would be useful to some people. Room was big enough.

United KingdomRoom and hotel in general is looking tired, clean but in need of some TLC. But when you pay the price for a night we paid it is unrealistic to expect a 5 star experience.
Venue is known for having live music and the covers band Randy and the Rockets rocked the place. The staff are friendly and attentive.

United KingdomBreakfast wasn't included - we knew this when we booked but we got the impression that breakfast used to be included in the price so at £90 we thought it was a bit steep. Only enough milk for 1 x cup of tea each (know we could have asked for more but that would have meant coming donwstairs after we'd woken up)
Great position of hotel for visiting friends in the area. Good to have its own private car park. Nice sized room and the shower was good power and nice and hot.

SwitzerlandThe Staff is very friendly but if one has a problem or question, it is better to speak directly face to face, as over the phone some misunderstoods occur.
The room was clean and I appreciated that I could turn the radiator on and that immediately it became warm! I also appreciated, that the Hotelmanager organized a room for me where the noises from festivities weren't loud and I could sleep well. That the key-card also is used for monitoring the light is very useful. It is a historic building with his own history and is very british.

DenmarkThat the manager of the hotel was so bussy all the time, and had no time to answer questions in a good way.
I loved that it was cosy and and not too modern. The cleaniness and the fysical environment was perfect. I liked very much that there was an organic cafe across the street

GermanyThe decor in our room was rather old-fashioned and the room a little bit dark. It is an old building and requires some updating. However, it was clean, had everything we needed and was reasonable value for money (by UK standards).
Staff were very helpful. Prior to our stay, we were forewarned about a party taking place on the evening of our stay and were offered a quieter room, which we took. Also staff were very helpful when my husband discovered he had left his jacket in the room. The hotel packed it up and forwarded it on for us.

The hotel could do with a facelift, but our room was a good size, and the bed was comfortable. Our only gripe was that the shower head holder was broken, so you had to hold the head in your hand to use. I told the staff who offered to get someone to look at it, but as we were only there for one night, I asked if they could leave it until we checked out. We had an evening meal in the bar which was good as were the staff.

FinlandLike any older building, it creaks and the rooms could use better ventilation, but it was overall a minor issue.
I really enjoyed the coziness is the hotel. I feel the whole building has a lot of history and has seen a lot over it's many years of service. The staff was lovely and the food served at the restaurant was delicious!
