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.).

AustraliaIt doesn't have the charm the name might imply (if being picky)
Location is good, really close to but back from the main High street, next to M&S and Waitrose and not far from the station but has its own parking available. Room was not bad and reception was helpful. No dinning but plenty of options very close by (The Highwayman was good)

United KingdomVery noisy. I could hear every noise from the other rooms and outside in the corridor. I have stayed here before and it was quiet. Not really the hotel 's fault as it was fully booked. Obviously no breakfast facilities, but lots of places to get food.
Location. Good choice of teas available.

United KingdomThe location is really good, close to everything on the high street and a Thai restaurant right at the door sept (I think M&S was also a 2 min walk along with a costa). The receptionist was energetic, friendly and polite. My room was big, clean and cosy, the shower was also big and really good pressure. Has everything once could need.

United KingdomTemperature of the room was a little cold for me, the room was next to the walkway and the courtyard (so not particularly private), shower door leaked, so the historic damp areas in the bathroom make it look like a little TLC wouldn't go amiss
Helpful young lady on reception, very good location behind the high street and onsite parking. Room was plenty big enough, clean and comfortable.

United KingdomThis room can be a bit noisy as in the walk way to the car park.
Second time of staying at this hotel, just for one night this time. I was on the ground floor in a twin room which was an acceptable size with the facilities i needed, hairdryer for example. The location of this hotel is great being on Berkhamsted High Street a short walk from the station. 20% on food at the sister hotel The King Arms. Very good breakfast cooked to order. Had a lovely meal in the evening, very well looked after with my father in law. Food Intolerances well understood and catered for.

United KingdomUsing the code to get into the annex front door as i kept forgeting it and it was a nusience in the dark.
My room had a very good size modern shower room with a double size shower . The bedroom was a reasonable size for a few nights stay and quite quiet and comfortable. Plenty of space to unpack a few things and sufficient hangers. Iron and ironing board useful.The breakfasts cooked to order at the sister hotel the Kings Arms were excellent.

United KingdomDifficult to find if arriving in the dark
An intriguing location, almost buried by the Giggling Squid restaurant, and visible only from the car park - itself neatly included in the approach to the Waitrose car park - yet perfect in its proximity to the High Street. A great breakfast partnership with companion the Kings Arms. We'll be back.

United KingdomIt’s a little tired and stains in the carpet and one of the cups in the room was dirty. The corridors could do with a dust as there were quite a lift of cobwebs.
Location is great, checkin was quick and easy, Car Park was handy, shower was lovely and hot and the towels were fluffy.
