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 KingdomIf you are a light sleeper you may be better off booking a second floor room. We were woken at 5:45 on our second night by the children upstairs jumping about. It’s to be expected in a family hotel as I’m sure they were just excited, but if that would bother you, book an upstairs room.
The hotel is lovely. All the staff we met were so friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious and breakfast was lovely with plenty of options to choose from. We would definitely stay again!

United KingdomGreat family friendly hotel, the family room was great with a double bed and bunk beds. The “watering holes” are handy for snacks and ice. Fridge in the room is always a bonus and lovely lighting in the room, with great viewing windows too. Would happily return!

United KingdomThe hotel staff were very welcoming and very helpful. Nothing was too much for them. They made our stay extra comfortable. Even providing an extended checkout, when my young son had a rough night through illness, leading us to wake up late. I couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough. The cleanliness and comfort of the facilities were excellent. The staff were an absolute credit to making that happen. Thank you to all at Hex.

Somewhere different rather than a bog standard hotel to stay in with work. Quirky and different. Modern bedroom decor. Staff were great - welcoming, friendly and attentive at both reception and Bistro. Very impressed with them.

United KingdomThere was no information in the room on its facilities. The heating control was difficult to operate. The bathroom sink plug did not seal, so we couldn't wash easily. We were glad we'd brought slippers as the tiled floor made nocturnal visits to the bathroom cold on the feet!
Good, modern hotel with attached bar/restaurant.

United KingdomNothing to dislike. Only tweaks could be: to add a mirror to main room (only mirror was in bathroom), add a curtain to entrance to main room so that we could watch tv once kids asleep in bunk beds without the light disturbing them.
Modern, clean, good layout with bunk beds separate and off main room.

United KingdomFour staff at breakfast chatting, complaining about their jobs, I am sure none of them thought we could hear but we we were the only ones in at 7am, felt like they were a bit redundant as we helped ourselves to everything and they had nothing to do. Also we arrived late night and left early so it was dark and it was sad we didn’t get to see any animals. I probably should have booked a non park side room if I’d worked that out and could have made a little saving there.
Great clean family room, fabulous balcony, amazing breakfast, lovely gardens and bonus dinos, the kids loved it all!

United KingdomI do feel a little disappointed with the upsell for ‘park view’ which mislead me to believe a view of a few animals. Instead it was dinosaurs haha!
Great location, takes the pressure out of travelling back and forth in one day. Modern, clean and plenty of amenities on site!
