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 KingdomNo fruit on the breakfast menu. However, I have no other criticisms.
Staff were friendly and helpful. The character of the hotel and condition were excellent and important historically. The room was beautiful and the bathroom was up to the best international standard. I had one of the best dinners I had experienced in years.

United KingdomWe had requested a ground floor room with a dog bowl when we booked a few weeks in advance. However, we were given a 2nd floor room with a tiny bowl (about the size of a mug!) which didn't suit our needs.
The staff were all very welcoming and friendly, and the furnishings (including the 4 poster bed!) were very comfortable- and all at a very reasonable price!

United KingdomThe temperature in the top floor rooms, the last three stays, has been very hot and uncomfortable. The fans aren’t the best, and there’s not much air to circulate in a grade listed property. The room, the last time I stayed, smelt like the former guest which wasn’t great. But, I do love the hotel and I’ll continue to stay! But, buy some decent fans for the summer months and open that window well in advance of the next guest staying.
I stay here quite regularly for work and I’m never disappointed. The new owners have invested and that investment is slowing making its way throughout the hotel. The ground floor facilities are superb. The rooms are well decorated and the beds comfortable.

United KingdomVery little to dislike. The full English breakfast is good and filling, coffee and fruit juice too. The only criticism is the time taken. There was only one waitress, and she was unable to cope with taking orders and serving tables. Most people waited 10-15 minutes to order food and drinks and around 20 minutes for the order to be served. You could see people were becoming impatient. The waitress was, however, excellent and unfazed with the situation. I would assume it was down to staffing issues.
It is a lovely hotel with a great history. It isn't 5 stars, but neither is the price. The staff are helpful, polite, and efficient. The location is central, and so everything's within easy walking distance.

United KingdomOur room was right on the top floor and despite the weather outside being quite warm but not unbearable, our bedroom turned into a sauna and no amount of fans could help it. That meant a sleepless night and sadly spoiled our stay there. You can definitely feel the age of this building with tired bathroom appliances, some of them needing some further maintenance. The room was relatively clean although the first impressions were spoiled when we found a dirty glass in the bathroom (full of toothpaste marks), a half eaten biscuit and some wrappers on the floor. The stay didn't exceed our expectations but we were not disappointed neither.
Lovely place, intriguing and full of history. The staff both at the reception and the restaurant/bar were lovely. The food (dinner and breakfast) was delicious! The coctails in the bar, were very reasonably priced and yummy! I loved the decor in the bar and lobby. The car park is close to the hotel and very reasonably priced.

United Kingdomservice in the restaurant was too leisurely for me, probably fine if you're with colleagues or friends but sitting on my own, spending an hour to have breakfast ( which required the cooking of 2 eggs ) was tedious, so I didn't eat there again would be nice to have a desk suitable for a laptop
quiet, clean comfortable and right in the middle of town, very spacious room and nicely decorated and furnished helpful, friendly staff
