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 KingdomBedding on one of the beds had a blood stain. No headboards on beds so couldn't sit up in bed. Minor issue...
Room size was good, we had adjoining room for family. Both rooms were good doubles. Bathrooms clean, nice modern decor. Was 25 minute drive to Alton towers.

United KingdomThe seating in the lounge was too small, plenty of room for a 2 seater for more comfort. A toaster would have been handy. The bar was too expensive to fully enjoy
The shower was amazing. Enjoyed the tea/milk provided. Bed very comfortable. The bar was very nice .

SpainI've arrived during the reception hours (19:30) and no one was there, I've tried to call the phone number which was write in the closed front desk but no answer for more than 45 minutes... I was exhausted after a whole day in Alton Towers...
It was close to the station, the room was clean and the security staff of the whole area was so polite and helpful.

United KingdomAfter reading the important information again, I noticed the £50 deposit which is required. Having to wait up to 14 days to receive the money back is a bit of an inconvenience. Surely once the room has been cleaned after checkout the money should be refunded instantly.
The room and property was very nice, comfortable and clean. The parking was free due to the parking machine being out of order. Would definitely stay again, for the area it won’t be beaten on price.

FranceThere was only one bedside lamp for 4 beds. A toaster would have been useful. The corridors could have been vacuumed more often.
Very comfortable beds. Convenient and atmospheric restaurant and bar downstairs. Good security with outside doors accessible with the room card. Free on site parking.

AustraliaCould only be improved with a bench for luggage and operating instructions for the induction cooktop.
The apartment had an industrial asthetic in keeping with the Stoke-on-trent history. It was super clean with fresh finishes. Carpark was very secure with a friendly security guard on main gates which closed at midnight. Large windows provided bright space.

United KingdomOnly thing that was a little annoying was, that there were no hooks or towel rail in the bathroom to hang your towel. Oh and our door key cards stopped working at one point but was soon rectified.
Very comfy bed, nice decor, good TV, powerful shower and decent flush on the loo! Having a mini kitchen with fridge was really handy.

United KingdomParking is a huge issue as the Quarter restaurant is very popular - there are other car parks in the vicinity but that's not what you want when staying overnight at the hotel. The formerly-public car park over the road is now privately owned so no longer an 'overflow' option. Not a 'complaint' but worth knowing that hotel staff are available only by phone and text message (they are responsive) - i.e. there is no hotel reception. It's really a rented apartment / room where either a key box or restaurant check-in is required to get the room keys (cards).
Two ensuite bedrooms linked by a small galley kitchen makes a good set up for sharing space with friend(s), having a coffee etc. Kitchen has plenty of glasses, cups, bowls and washing up products. There wasn't a communal space in our apartment (other Potbank apartments do offer this - if you need sitting area, make sure to book one of those), however there were two armchairs in one of the bedrooms which meant we could sit in group and not on the bed. Nice clean modernized rooms with good ensuite shower rooms. The separately owned and run Quarter at Potbank restaurant downstairs is great for quality and sizeable breakfasts, and is a Mexican restaurant in the evenings (advisable to book) - plenty of atmosphere and good service there. Info on how to get room key from lock box was texted beforehand, and the person at the end of the texts was responsive - hence easy to get into the apartment.

United KingdomWould have liked a washing up bowl and more milk. The water was too hot to shower for long but warning label was prominent. Loved the music coming from below but the info said live music only on a Friday and Saturday. May cause a complaint with other guests. It’s a shame the area is not well invested in. Few opportunities to eat out. A bus timetable and route map in the info book would have been useful
Loved the quirkiness of the place and history. The size was perfect for a couple or lone traveller
