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 KingdomPerhaps the entrance to the hotel could be freshened up eg new carpet.
The location was really good. The staff were exceptionally helpful. The family suite was lovely. Very modern, airy & spacious. I would recommend the hotel.

United KingdomIt was cold but the radiators were cold Also the lift needs a stronger magnet on the inner gate. The lift only works if the gate is tightly connected. I had to go up and down stairs to find the lift and then send it to where my disabled husband needed it

United KingdomThere were many hairs in the bath. The buffet breakfast was not as warm as we would like.
We liked the traditional old room which was spacious and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and we had a large bathroom comprising a freestanding roll top bath and a separate walk in shower. The dining room was excellent with lovely linen tablecloths and napkins.

United KingdomIt’s an old hotel with limited soundproofing so could guests be warned that when they come in at 1.30 a.m they don’t shout and fall over and crash about in areas where people are trying to sleep.
It’s history. Good breakfast.

United KingdomOnly parking available is on street parking in a payment meter zone. Hotel has private deal with local authority so hotel guest pays £5.00 for hotel ticket granting 24 hours' parking which is easier and cheaper than parking unilaterally and feeding a parking meter with coins every few hours.

United KingdomIt could do with a bit of TLC Some rooms do look a bit dated and need freshening up. We have stayed before but the breakfast wasn’t very nice this time. It was all a bit baked up from being under the hot plates and the quality of the food wasn’t as good. Shame really. It Wouldn’t take much effort to make this an amazing place to stay.
Lovely old hotel in a great location. Close to restaurants, bars and shops and opposite beautiful pavilion and park. Comfortable, clean very friendly staff.

United KingdomOur room was very old fashioned with creeky floorboards which made the wardrobe rattle. Good sized tv. It's a very old building and suffering from faded grandeur. Overall good value for the price paid.
Buffet breakfast was good but a bit disorganised as most of the items had run out so it was necessary to wait for them to be topped up. However breakfast was good overall. Perhaps a few more staff would have improved the experience.

United KingdomThe communal areas could do with an update, the first impression isn't good and the reception has a hostel like feel. The staff in the restaurant seemed unsure of their roles and would benefit from supervision and training in hospitality.
The room was large, the four poster bed comfortable and the bathroom roomy with good facilities and excellent shower.
