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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Well located with lovely staff and good facilities. The room had been tarted up but was still very dated. It was large though. Great breakfast

United KingdomNothing really as provided everything we needed for a one night stay. Maybe the room could have done with having a thorough clean but this did not spoil our stay.
Beautiful character building with private free parking. Lovely decor throughout, spacious bedroom and bathroom with traditional and modern facilities. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great breakfast in lovely surroundings. Very close to Town Centre for pubs, bars, restaurants and shops.

United KingdomRoom 7 Just the weirdest set up with a voile curtain separating the room from the bathroom Not private at all but even more, the green safety light in the ceiling shone through the voile which made it look like shrek might appear at any second. See unfiltered photo It really spoilt an otherwise good room and good night's sleep Many guests mention it but it's not addressed in venue feedback
Staff couldn't be more helpful Food good Pomerol lovely :) Good parking right in the centre of town Lovely old building As we had to leave very promptly for a hospital appointment in the morning, the staff took our breakfast order the night before so that it was as speedy as possible for the chef to do in the morning - much appreciated

United KingdomThe breakfast buffet was disappointing and disorganised. No fruit juice, limited cereal and bread options, no yoghurts, cold meats or cheeses as would have been expected on a continental buffet. Room was not serviced on second day of our stay although management did offer us a small discount when advised of this.
Central location, good parking and great room facilities.

United KingdomWe arrived 4.30pm,the bar area was empty after a busy afternoon. It appeared the staff had taken a well earned break.Tables were left unclean,glasses and bottles where everdent on many empty tables… Not a good first impression. I can add this was not the norm for the rest of our stay.
The bedroom was large warm and welcoming.The funky and quality authentic vibe was a real bonus. Stylish and spacious,room 7 had great views of the church!

United KingdomA few little things: there should be someone on the reception all the time, rather than customers standing around for minutes and hoping someone from the bar catches your eye. The floors are also uneven upstairs and there was only a thin sheet separating the bedroom from the bathroom in the deluxe double room we were in.
The breakfast was very good, the staff were generally friendly and it's a very nice building from the outside. Quite affordable too.
