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 KingdomNo heating in the bathroom. 'Central heating problem' seems a common complaint. Problem doesn't seem to be in any rush to be sorted. Car parking on grass verge not on hardcore. Breakfast is OK but limited inasmuch as pork (bacon, sausage etc) inot on the menu. Breakfast also served too late for my liking. 7-30am normal start time - which I said was troo late. Mutually agreed breakfast started at 7-15am.
Location good. Room good size.

United KingdomThere was only one member of staff on all the time we were there he was very good at his job but was hard to understand him the breakfast was ok but because of their religion there was no bacon and the sausage was chicken, the room was not cleaned during our stay and the bins were full the hot water machine for hot drinks was not a kettle and it ran out of water because we had not been told it needed filling when the member of staff came to look at it I don’t think he knew how it worked so fetched a kettle

United KingdomI chose the Arden House initially for the location, a short easy drive from the NEC, and it was a good choice. I enjoyed the cosy Shakespeare themed decor and the room had everything thing I needed - hairdryer, proper sized kettle and mugs, glass bottle filled with water, shower gel etc. Plenty of information about where to eat in the room guide.

CyprusThe breakfast issue was annoying and the TV was like a postage stamp. Other than that the room was perfectly adequate
Breakfast was great, but I was informed that bacon was not on the menu. The lady who provided the breakfast was friendly and efficient. The room itself was really comfortable and the bathroom on suite was sparkling. The facility was within walking distance of a lovely village and the surrounding are was great.

United KingdomThe curtains could definitely do with a clean as could the dusty fake flowers around the place.
It was comfortable, friendly and the rooms were nice. Breakfast was sufficient but the website didn’t state they didn’t serve pork meat so no bacon. It’s fine but I think it should be stated. It’s a nice quiet area and very convenient for the NEC.

United KingdomIt was a little out of the way, a little impersonal at times (nobody there), and the breakfast was a little sparse, when we could get it (but nothing on weekends when we had to leave early). And perhaps a little pricey for what it was. But just a little overall.
The place was fine, with a kind welcome and reasonably comfortable, as well as happily booking taxis for us.

United KingdomNeed a step ladder to reach bathroom basin, bathroom and bedroom need a deep clean. Hot water in basin is a very slow trickle, room must be a long way from the boiler as radiators were cool to touch. Bed was double not the king advertised and only one bathrobe, no conditioner or iron as advertised. Everything looked tired and in need of investment, looks like it was converted and maintained DIY. I know small business are under pressure with rising costs but so are guests who would like to get what was advertised and paid for.
Good location for airport with free off road overnight parking. Friendly staff. Pub 20 mins walk away. Comfortable bed. Reasonable breakfast.
