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.).

IrelandOur room was not suitable as we had adjoining room and we could hear next door conversation so obviously we didn’t speak to loud as we were aware of that

United KingdomRoom at front of hotel would have been better with nicer view.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good, although the same breakfast order came out served quite differently on 3 different days. must have had have 3 different chefs :) Room was clean and good condition although looked out over the back of the hotel (not much of a view) and could hear external fans in the room but didn't disturb me. Great stay overall. No onsite parking but the multi storey car park 2 min walk away was very well maintained and the staff there were very helpful too. Lots to see in the local area.

United KingdomDespite loving the room we didn’t realise that the bar across the road has a club that plays thumping music until 3am which meant we could not sleep (even with headphones in!) this completely spoilt our stay.
We were upgraded to a deluxe room which was beautiful with lovely traditional features such as a fireplace and sash windows. Staff were also friendly. Breakfast was also quick service and lovely.

IrelandWe were delighted to be upgraded to a suite thank you and feel ungrateful to comment but that’s how you improve. Unfortunately we found the heat in the suite unbeareable despite many fans and dial tuned down , we hardly slept also the furniture fixtures a fittings were very tired in this suite . But we would love to return and maybe theses issues would be addressed . We would like to say a special thank you for the lovely chocolate & persecco to help us celebrate our big anniversery .
Breakfast was ok could have been hotter . Excellent location

AustraliaI would suggest they need to put hydraulic door closes because the sound of doors slamming during the night and early morning wasn’t optimal. Also just a small upgrade to the rooms to update it a little more wouldn’t bring the rooms in line to the price charged.
Centrally located. Great breakfast and a good bar.

The location is right in the city centre a few minutes walk from the Castle + Gardens, Design Centre, historic streets with shops, pubs and restaurants and the River Nore but our room was quiet. The room was comfortable and well decorated. Breakfast was very pleasant with the hot items being prepared freshly for each guest and brought to the table. The historic character of the old building, a former bank, has been preserved especially in the traditional bar which has live music.. Reasonably priced parking close by. Staff are friendly and efficient.
