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 KingdomThe room had cobwebs and spiders and i noticed as soon as i walked in, no view and felt overlooked in my room so kept the curtains closed most of the time. Shower temp wasn't easy to negotiate. Breakfast selection satisfactory, i didn't have the breakfast the second day as it was slightly underwhelming. Premier Inn breakfast is far nicer with better produce, fresher selection and nicer bread.
The evening meal and drink were great both nights, with good variety on the menu. Easy to get to with good parking and shop close by. Staff were friendly when i checked in.

United KingdomSadly, the bathroom/ shower really needed to be deep cleaned/ refurbished as the grout was heavily discoloured and there was a lot of mildew/mould on the sealant etc.
This conveniently located hotel (just off A14 at Bury St Edmunds) was perfect for a basic overnight stay for my friend and I. There was plenty of parking and we used the bar & the restaurant, which were adequate for our needs. Our room was large & clean, with lovely clean sheets & towels.

United KingdomThe first room we were in room 208 we were next to a boiler room and every minute or so we heard a dreadful humming loud noise coming from the boiler. We put up with it for as long as we could until it got to 11.15pm and we couldn't put up with the awful noise. So we asked to change room. Also I think all rooms should have walk in showers. My parents stayed in another room and they had a bath with shower mixer and they really struggled to get in and out, stepping over the bath.
Breakfast was lovely and kept topped up as it got quite busy. Some staff were very lovely, once we changed room we were happy with our stay and would come again.

United KingdomThe bathroom needed better cleaning. The floor had bits of mud on it, there was a stain or something stuck down the toilet and there was something in the sink plug hole.
It was a convenient location and pleasantly decorated. It was useful having food available for breakfast and evening meals if required. Plenty of parking.
