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 only issue with our stay was the room had a fusty smell, I think this was due to the bathroom extractor fan not working

United KingdomRoad facing rooms are noisy. Carpet threadbare in places, curtains not hung properly, not enough plug sockets. Breakfast is very poor. It’s not a continental breakfast when you just get to collect a small box with cornflakes, UHT milk, a pain chocolat, a flapjack and an apple juice. Not value for money.
Comfortable bed.

Very fresh, open reception. Not the largest of hotels but they've made the most of their facilities. Staff were very helpful and engaging. Rooms were adequate for the price, which was a bargain!

United KingdomSelection of wine at the bar was bad (service station had no better selection) Selection of food was only pizza or curry - the service station next door has a Greggs - but no healthy options at all. Reception staff didn;t know a local pub they could recommend
Room was clean and reasonably sized. There is a bar here on the ground floor It's well placed by the services Good free car park so that's convenient

United KingdomThe room was too hot we needed the window open but unfortunately the motorway is so loud we couldn't sleep. I thought £15 for my dog was expensive however I've just come across a £25 charge for a dog in another hotel so maybe its not too bad after all lol
The price is good and was reflective of the room and location. The staff were lovely on arrival and welcoming to us and our dog

United KingdomI was in the room for 3 days and was happy enough not to have the room made up or towels changed. But my waste bin was full on the first night and was overflowed with unsightly waste when I left which I wasn't happy with. There was constant background noise
The room was clean and spacious enough. There was a bath with shower rather than just a shower. The bed was comfortable.
