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 KingdomThe service was quite slow. Check in was at 3pm but we didn't get our key card until 3:50pm. The wait for drinks at the bar was quite long even though there were no other customers & the tables weren't cleared in reception area for quite a while, leaving it looking and feeling a little cluttered & messy.
The rooms were exceptionally clean, the bed & pillows were super comfy & it was extremely dog friendly (which suited us as we brought a dog with us). The staff were friendly & the location is perfect.

United KingdomNo toilet rolls in bathroom and lots of dogs in the dining room which we did not like. Also no room in the car park which was one of the reasons we chose the hotel as we have a very expensive car and do not like leaving it parked on the road.
Disappointed with breakfast as I like lots of fresh fruit and this was very limited. Also the decaffeinated coffee had completely run out which was very disappointing and very poor for such a big hotel.

United KingdomWhen booking they did not mention that the private parking that they keep on about had to be payed for we didn't find out about that untill after we payed for the stay! It should have been in the price and told to guests on first looking to book, £30 for two nights i was not happy.
Breakfast was very nice but we went down about 8 to 830 and a lot of things had not been replaced (ie scrambled egg bacon) it was as if we had to have the scraps left by other guests!!

United KingdomThe only real complaint would be lateness in servicing the room. We came back on the first day at 4.15 and room only then being cleaned. The second day we came back at 5.00 and room wasn’t cleaned at all.
The welcome by the receptionist was lovely, nice informative and cheerful start to our break, rooms lovely and spacious. Ate in the restaurant on two occasions and was great. Staff in restaurant also very attentive. Well done to the team at Mercury Paington.

United KingdomNothing thoroughly enjoyed everything
The Mercure is absolutely gorgeous. Myself/son and baby grandson stayed in a 2 double bedded room, we took our own baby cot although they do provide them on request. The room was huge and spotlessly clean, very modern and new. Safe , fridge, tv, WiFi and huge comfy beds and pillows. Bathroom was gorgeous too with a great shower. All the staff we me were lovely and friendly. And the breakfast was just what we needed for our busy day ahead of us.Cooked and continental choices and a great coffee machine. I will stay here again and my son said he’ll stay again with the rest of his family. Parking onsite is £15 for 24 hrs. Pay at reception and log your car reg.But limited spaces.
