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 KingdomThe sink had no hot water, only cold. The bed sheet had black markers, but looked like iron burn. Twin room but the two singles were very narrow. If I was a bigger person, it would have been difficult.
Location perfect. Close to city centre, but far enough to not be noisy. Market in the street on Sunday morning. Close to the music venue I went too. Comfortable Private bathroom Great price.

United Kingdomdidn’t see a member of staff (there was a number on the wall of we needed them, but I know it’s a self service property but would of been nice to be greeted but no faults with the property. Would of liked a bigger mirror on the wall (was on the door & it was dark by there so couldn’t really see a lot)
Close to the train station & a short walk into the centre. Very clean room & the bed was sooooo comfortable. Decent size for a couple & had everything we needed for a night stay (ie tea & coffee, iron/board & hairdryer). Also loved the fact there was tea/coffee & a microwave by the entrance which was handy.

United KingdomThe room smelled ‘off’, I wish I had brought a scented candle. I believe this was in part due to plumbing smells from the bathroom which came and went and then came back again. There was no extractor fan and room needed some damp ventilation. Room 17. Additionally the walls are very thin. I was kept awake by snoring from the next door room and the gentleman also woke me up very early with an alarm, the noise of him packing up his room and leaving early morning was very loud.
The ability to come in and out without needing to see anyone, the proximity to convenient riverside parking. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were well set out and decorated in a simplistic but nicely contemporary way. Tea, milk and kettle was appreciated.

United KingdomIt was one of the coldest weekends of the year, but I still needed to open the windows because the room was so warm. Surely there is no need to have the radiators on that high?

The facility was clean which was very important to me. The location was perfect and I liked the views from the bedroom.

United KingdomThe booking dot com website lists this as having parking, but it doesn't. This only became apparent after having done the booking. This needs correcting. I specifically chose this based on having parking, as I needed to transport amps for a gig, and it caused me some logistic issues.
Great value for money considering the central location
