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.).

Value for money was quite poor. Room was basic and small for the price (there wasn't space for even a chair - I had food on the floor). Also cold overnight after central heating was switched off. The sound insulation was not the best - could hear people upstairs having a normal quiet conversation.
Convenient location

Not enough parking. cramped. small rooms (double bed pushed against the wall) expensive and no midweek discount offer (ie same price for peak weekend time, as it is for midweek nights. ) There should be a discount Sunday to Thursday nights.
good central location. peaceful gardens. clean and tidy. friendly staff. tasty personalised breakfast.

Mattress uncomfortable for me (I realise that may be personal preference). Walls rather thin and unlucky to have a very noisy family in the next room who spoke at the top of their voices all the time and let their child bang on the wall for ages at 7am.
Friendly and helpful as always. Clean room. Great location. Parking and a good breakfast included.

Homey place, great breakfast, the staff was hospitable. We were 3 in one room so the room was small and there was no lift. We drove a car so the location was perfect for us.

That I only got to stay 1 night due to work commitments! 😢
Just to say it was a pleasure staying in this extremely salubrious hotel, really comfortable nights sleep! I highly recommend, refer, and aim to re-use this hotel again in the near future! Such a pleasant stay! The owners / staff were extremely accommodating, beyond the typical standard. P.s. Great touch with the bar, only the upper echelon of hotels would have “Drambuie” available! Top Notch! 🏆 Hope to visit this establishment again soon!

There is some noise from the traffic, and the configuration of the room could be better. (No bedside table, no way to turn the light out from bed, etc.)
Friendly staff; comfortable, clean room; good breakfast. They kindly let me change the dates of my original booking as I tested positive for Covid the day before I was meant to be staying.

Would prefer cereals/yoghurts etc to be buffet style rather than to ask, or maybe a list would work similar to the one for cooked items? The bed is against the wall which could be difficult for some. TV could be heard through the wall from next room.
On site parking and lovely garden, seating areas. Very clean.

The tiny, tiny rooms! The only place for our suitcase in a twin room was on one of the beds.
Our hosts Patsy & Dave were lovely. Breakfasts were excellent and the towels were huge! Pretty, leafy location, and only a 10 minutes' walk from Bournville railway station.

Patsy and her husband are incredibly welcoming and kind and make you feel comfortable and at home instantly. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and my daughter, who is a fussy eater, loved the food too. The bedding and bed were one of the most comfortable I have had the pleasure to sleep in/on. The room was very quiet too with hardly a sound to be heard all night long. Parking on-site is easy and if you are running late for general check-in, Patsy is efficient and will arrange key collection with you in good time.

Bathroom is compact . Glass shelf over sink a little restrictive .
Breakfast was lovely and a good portion . Location is quite but within 20 minutes of central Birmingham ( Train or Car ) . Although this was the first single bed i had slept in in quite a few years , it was surprisingly comfortable . Towels were fresh , clean , white and fluffly . Tea making facilities and a small bottle of water provided . Although it was a hot day the room was lovely and cool .
