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 KingdomSurprised that broken shower was not spotted when room serviced.
Complentary bars of chocolate were a lovely touch. Everything was very good but when I came to shower in the morning the knob on the shower was missing. So no shower. Reported to desk who said they would see to it right away but my stay was only for one night. I will definitely stay again when travelling to East Midlands Airport.

United KingdomHaving stayed several times didn't actually notice the difference between a previous standard room and a superior( apart from a chocolate bar each). The room was showing signs of wear& tear particularly the bathroom and wardrobe doors and stained carpet. Possibly another usb port would be helpful
We were upgraded to a superior room which was an unexpected surprise and enjoyed the chocolate bar each.Comfortable bedding and the hotel is in an excellent location.

IrelandNo bad points during my stay. Hotel met all expectations and I would happily stay there again.
Location is very convenient. Plenty of facilities in the hotel. Nice bar and restaurant in the hotel and also the airport itself is only across the road so access to all those facilities including car hire at very good prices. We also were able to get an Uber into the town of Castle Donington which offered lots of nice pubs.

United KingdomFreezing cold bedroom. Central heating didn't seem to work. Parking facilities were not clearly informed on booking, as I found out later that the barrier entrance to the hotel (which stated £15 payment on entry) could be accessed and then reception would sort out the exit, free of charge. It would have been useful to know this before arrival.

United KingdomThere was nothing - it was all it said it was
We had an early flight and the hotel was perfect for an overnight. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and its a 5 minute walk to the airport. The car park is next to the Hotel and so very convenient. The room was spotlessly clean and quiet. I would not hesitate to stay again.
