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.).

IrelandSuper thin walls, partner was awake all night as the room next door were laughing and talking loud. Old building that needs updates and expensive room for what it had to offer. Early check out time, don't think I've ever been anywhere with 10am check out.
Great location in the city centre and good breakfast variety.

United KingdomIt was a bit stuffy in the rooms, I'm not sure if there was air conditioning I just didn't find or if there just wasn't AC in my room but I found it quite stuffy, I stayed in a windowless room too so I had no way of getting cool air in the room.
Breakfast was ok and location was great, the rooms served their purpose too. I also liked seeing that the hotel was doing work to freshen up the interior as it initially did feel a bit worn out, hopefully though after they have finished the works it will look and feel a bit more lively!

United KingdomThe room was a little dated & could do with upgrading! The tiles in the bathroom what needed repairing had been filled in with grout, the toilet seat was loose & moved about on the toilet. The light switches were really hard to find for the room & took some finding! Also I was on the first floor out the back & was quiet noisy so I got woken up quite early on the morning due to the sound of traffic & the bar emptying the bottles off the night before outside! I would request a higher up room if i stayed again!
Location was perfect & only a 10 minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly train station! Staff were friendly & very helpful especially when I could leave my luggage the day i checked out, so I could head into the City center. The room was basic but was fine & had a TV on the wall to watch if required. Bathroom was again very basic but had what we needed & the room was clean & beds were comfortable! For what I paid I couldn't have been happier!

United KingdomCheck in took ages, despite there being no queue. Lifts smelled of stale cigarettes Rooms were generally a bit grubby - especially bathrooms On the 6th floor the window that opened was tiny, so little ventilation. As the extractor fan didn't work, it took ages for the bathroom to de-steam. The main light didn't work in room 616. There were people carrying open pints of beer around the hotel and into the lift.

United KingdomGot back late from gig and there was a constant noise in the hotel it sounded like a boiler coming on even though it wasn't, it interrupted our sleep. Only there 1 night and it was late so no point asking to be moved. Like other hotels rooms it was overpriced due to who was performing in the city.
Location was good and room a decent size.

United KingdomShower was very difficult to use, the knobs were really stiff and shower curtain would wrap itself around you due to the power of the shower. Main light did not work, had to use the lamp but that wasn’t a problem to us as we weren’t in the room a lot.
Staff were really friendly and helpful, and location isn’t too bad. I think the hotel itself is great value for money.

Isle of ManNo free WiFi. Had to pay per device for room WiFi! Shower was impossible to control. Scalding hot then turning off when you try to adjust temperature. Shower curtain wraps itself around you while you’re trying to shower. Having to go down to communal area in reception to iron is a pain and the iron won’t stay on long enough anyway. You have to touch the power button on the wall every few seconds to keep it hot. Beds very squeaky. No bath towels in a twin room, just two very small towels.
Fantastic location. Nice staff. Beautiful old building but needs some tlc! Breakfast was tasty. Bed linen and towels clean.
