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 shower door didn't open fully as the bathroom was so small the shower door hit the sink, shower needs a thorough clean grubby in the bottom corners. No cold water in sink or shower, which i needed for my dog and the shower is old quite awkward to use, it only trickled out when trying for hot water to get to correct temperature. It was sooo noisy, the room was at the front of the hotel right on the main road, I thought after 11pm the traffic would ease up. But if did not I had a very early start thd next day I managed to get 1 hours sleep. Very expensive for the size of the room and the noise.
The room was newly decorated to a high standard, very comfy bed,and clean.

United KingdomSome of the corridors and spaces need a facelift - they are showing their age.
It's really central, with parking and the public spaces have a bit of atmosphere. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the breakfast was good. The room had everything you'd want.

United KingdomThe room was tastefully decorated, but furniture was shabby and carpet threadbare and badly fitted. There was only one bedside table which was an inconvenience. Water pressure in shower could have been better. Shelf above sink was at 45 degree angle so had to wedge in some card to level it up.
Fabulous looking Traditional Building in Super Location with Free Parking. The Receptionist was professional and well spoken The breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in 2nd floor room with exposed beams which gave the room character. Everything was clean. The bed was comfy. The fan gave a welcome breeze to help keep the room cool. Great choice of breakfast menu options.

The lock on my door ( room 5 ) seems to me fitted upside down I.E. you turn the key towards the wall and from the look of it l am not the only one to struggle with it TV - well I couldn’t get it on - but not a problem as I came for Fairport so it’s nice to cut off from the news and enjoy your lovely town and Fest
The staff in general and particularly Andrew, nice chap , busy but could fit in a chat where possible Ashley , Rev and young man name forgotten The easy parking and loved the garden I have stayed before and hopefully come to the fest next year

United KingdomBreakfast was chaotic. Waits of 45 minutes-plus 2 out of 3 days. On second occasion table not clean and dirty cutlery/crockery not cleared away. No organisation of tables by room number, just "sit anywhere and we'll find you" (or not). Food, when it arrived, was excellent, which made it all the more frustrating
Very comfortable. Good location. Staff very helpful. Even when problems encountered (see below) they were understanding and generous (free breakfast after one particularly chaotic morning). There should have been more of them but those who were there were excellent.
