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.).

The rooms are generally ok, but somewhat old, renovation would help a lot, especially the bathroom
Good breakfast, great location if you need to stay on campus, especially considering the price.

The furniture is a bit old style.
The position within the campus is really convenient. The check in procedure is very easy. It's not a five star hotel but it really suits the needs if someone who has to stay in campus for few days.

The shower had some mould. We understand that mould is a common issue in a humid country, but there is room for improvement.
The location was excellent for our purposes, and the breakfast was delicious.

Very neat room and comfortable. Quiet and easy to relax. Well positioned for the University and visiting the campus. Great to be able to charge the EV. Breakfast was a typical English breakfast. We will stay here again

United Kingdom24 reviews7.0“Lovely accommodation, good transport links, wider site could be better.”- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
It could be because it was the uni holidays but there didn't seem to be that many on campus restaurants open in the evenings. Also whilst the site and accommodation blocks are lovely the main university buildings are a bit oppressive and the long dark walkways feel somewhat threatening especially later on when there are groups of men hanging around and skateboarding.
The rooms were well presented with comfortable beds and good tea and coffee provision. The heating was very efficient and the shower worked well. The location was very quiet and a short walk from the main campus bus stop (we travelled by public transport). The breakfast was extremely good and the serving staff very friendly and helpful. A bonus to have a convenience store on site too.

In time a refurb may be good if funds allow but not a major problem
Use it to visit son at the university. It’s basic but does the trick. Clean and a bit dated but enough for my visits. Nice to be able to have tea / coffee in the room. Breakfast very good at the Market place.
