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 KingdomThere weren't enough parking spaces for hotel guests, and check out time should be 11.00am.
The bed was very comfortable, location was beautiful, and breakfast was excellent.

United KingdomNo shower gel and bathroom a bit basic. Instructions to get to the accommodation once on campus could have been better. Guest services had moved and directions to new location were not clear. Tea and coffee not replaced durning stay. Was a bit expensive for what was on offer. £60-70 a night would be more reasonable. Breakfast could be optional and extra.
Very quiet and bed was clean and comfortable. Breakfast area was very nice.

United KingdomThat we only had a small amount of toilet roll and no new ones left. Not a problem in most settings. But no staff to ask due to the type of accommodation. We ended up having to do a student public toilet race at 9:15am. Due to this we were running late and still in our room at 10:06 just getting stuff together to leave. The housekeeping didn’t knock and say housekeeping, instead stormed in and then shut the door quickly when they got a view of my hubby getting dressed. No apology. Not the best. A shame as we have stayed over 4 times and it’s been great.
It was basic but fine for visiting our daughter at uni. Breakfast is always lovely.

United KingdomYou may need to contact them if you book with bookings.com to get you code for the key and room number. The day before arrival we still didn't have it, but we called and the desk immediately sent the email.
On campus, so suited our needs. Contact free checkin and checkout made it easy (but the key pickup unit is a bit fiddly). Good breakfast. Exactly what you expect for living in a Uni campus residence room (don't expect hotel quality for this price).

United KingdomBathroom had seen better days, very high step up into the small shower. One of the sockets by the desk didn't work. Needs a lamp on the desk, the 2 bedside wall-lights are pretty much useless.
Perfect for dropping our daughter back to University. Comfortable bed, very clean and tidy. Lovely tea/coffee tray with plenty on it.
