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 KingdomBlinds in the window would not close just to give us some privacy in the day time , due too not having a cord to tilt them .meaning we had to close the curtains which blacked out the room , saniflo toilets in rooms which is understandable but they are noisy
Great location right in near all shops & Victoria Station, staff at check in & those working below in the pub very friendly, breakfast plenty and a buffet one aswell & you can leave your luggage on your day of departure after check out

United KingdomThe shower room was a bit small and very close to the sink and shower, I had to rest my arm on the sink and legs were in the shower, but we wanted a room with a bathroom and this would not put us off staying again as only a minor issue.
The hotel is in a perfect location for the arena and city centre, shopping, bars and restaurants. The hotel is clean and staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was lovely, the food was hot and looked and tasted fresh.

United KingdomPlug was left pulled out of shower when we arrived which had hairs inside it and we found a few marks on bedding.
We loved the location, we were here for the AO arena and that was only a 4 minute walk away, we were also right next to the Arndale centre so we had everything we needed near by. The staff were very helpful and kind, the food was great and our room so very comfy.

United KingdomBed was a little small, it's a shared bathroom which was ok but the room and bathrooms could do with an update and some new decoration.
Fantastic old building with a lively pub at the bottom. Staff all helpful. Decent value and the location was ideal for the arena.

AustriaI arrived by car at night and stayed only for one night. Even though there was parking right in front of the hotel, nobody of the staff could tell me, that parking was free at night. I had to ask at the pub next door to get that information
Very old house with lots of atmosphere. The floor was not even and I felt like I was in an old movie :) Breakfast buffet was nice too

The location is superb and the bar is great. The staff are really welcoming and friendly both in the hotel area and the bar. We got pretty much what we paid for.

United KingdomNo lift in the hotel (we stayed on the top floor which wasn't easy for my parents to walk up and down) but the building is old so assuming they cannot put a lift in.
The staff were all friendly, and always smiling when I communicated with them. Breakfast was nice and the decor in the breakfast room and seating area were nice. I like the old feeling of the hotel and the location was faultless. The separate bathroom was clean. Tea/coffee available in hotel room. Wifi worked fine in the room we stayed in. Surprisingly quiet during the nights considering its location.
