How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

cleaning of room. Glasses (both water glasses and wine glasses) that were set on the table in the restaurant were dirty and covered in finger prints.
Very easy check-in process. Reception is very spacious with lots of places to sit and relax with a coffee. Bedroom was fairly spacious. Bathroom was pretty basic and not very clean - but acceptable. Breakfast was average - unfortunately the pancake machine was broken....but all in all a great place to stay. Kids loved the pool and location beside shops was great for a potter after check out.

The shower head was really bad and water went everywhere. The pillows were way too hard. You could do with one soft and one hard like other hotels.
Very convenient. Was quiet most of the time. Easy to seat for breakfast. Appreciated the card and bottle of fizz for my birthday. Staff were friendly and the place was clean

Not sure why they've not include the onsite parking in the hotel rate. £5 charge separately for parking per day. No lift in the building (altho it's only Ground and first floor). Soundproof is not exactly great, could hear other people talking in the corridoor.
Staffs were friendly. Pools hours are suitable. 24/7 receiption.

Most public rooms were too bright and a little subdued lighting would have worked wonders. You could save a fortune with reduced wattage bulbs.
Tremendous staff and a great welcome. Superb location since we were on a Cross Keys UK tour and our pickup was outside the hotel.

Just that our TV didn't work properly in one of the rooms and kept flicking between channels but luckily it didn't affect our stay as we weren't in the room enough to watch TV.
We had a really lovely stay. One of the highlights was the pool, jacuzzi and steam/sauna room. Our room was clean and extremely comfortable. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Huge thank you goes to the cleaning team who when tidied our room left little touches that were very cute like folding the kids pyjamas and tucking their teddies in the bed.

I've been visiting this hotel for a very long time and the room decor and public areas feel badly in need of refreshing. A number of upgrades should be considered such as - the addition of lifts to the first floor on both sides; - modernising the bathrooms; - improve room lighting and/or make it dimmable; - addition of air conditioning (I've mentioned this many times since at least 2012 ;)); - remove the separate parking charge; - review the quality of the bacon & sausages at breakfast & re-instate the fried bread; - increase the weekend hours of the leisure centre to enable guests to make use of the facilities.
Good check-in experience with Rebecca and it was lovely to see Anna again after a number of years. We'd requested a ground floor room and were allocated to an accessible room so there was no bath, but the shower cubicle was very spacious and looked to have been newly renovated. Liked the 80's party night which seemed to go down well generally and didn't impact noise wise on the rooms. Room was a good size with usual facilities such as large screen TV, tea & coffee making facilities and bathroom amenities - the room we had also had a mains USB A & USB C charging socket & a fridge. Bed was comfortable and plenty of pillows. Staff at breakfast were good and Elaine was excellent in ensuring we had everything we needed. Checkout was trouble free.

Unfortunately, the pillows were a bit hard for our liking. We also had a stained sofa bed in the room, along with a rusty sink in our bathroom.
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel. We had dinner and breakfast here. They have a variety of dining options, restaurant, bar, and room service. The swimming pool was lovely and warm, and we enjoyed the use of the jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna. The bedrooms are very spacious. Also, it was lovely to see this is a dog friendly hotel.
