Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomMore choice of alcoholic beverages would add to more satisfaction.
Room was great and quirky to say the least but very nice, bathroom was ok but not on the same level as the room itself. Food was great and breakfast was plentiful.

United KingdomA hotel that is not done justice online and should be seen to be believed. From the warm welcome, to the cosy (and funky) rooms, there was not a moment where you were not looked after. The food deserves a Michelin star and the cocktails are more akin to a James Bond film. The surrounding area is calm and relaxing whilst being intriguing due to being intertwined with sculptures. The artwork and film memorabilia make this hotel like spending time on a film set, seeing things that you would not normally get to see. I would highly recommend to any traveler's.

United KingdomAn beautiful hidden gem, with incredible staff - Charlie was incredibly thoughtful, kind, & helpful even when we rocked up super late into the evening. The decoration is absolutely insane! As this was a completely unplanned, last minute stay we were totally unprepared for what we’d booked ourselves in for but my god did we love stumbling across this place. We’ll be back to stay as quickly as we can, as this was a total and utter treat for the senses!!

United KingdomThe room smelt of drains on the first night but it wore off the next day. The people next door watched TV late into the night both nights - we couldn't decide whether the walls were thin or they had the volume turned up very high!
Beautiful room, lovely, friendly staff. Bathroom was perfectly fine for us, albeit a little small, but definitely not a negative like so many reviews on here. Lots of choice of tea and coffee in the room. Loved the offer of a Dyson hairdryer! Breakfast was a work of art, but we felt awful leaving most of it - I could only manage half a bowl of the porridge and a slice of sourdough toast with the baked egg so it was a very expensive experience at £20 a head and quite wasteful. Absolutely delicious though.

Superb team, super helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The fun that the team have had designing the place is evident in every room. The dinner at Canvas was one of the best restaurant meals I have had in years. Utterly superb.

United KingdomThere was a lot of items available on the breakfest menu, it would be advisable to ask quests what they would like off the menu and request the items in the order they would like them.
The breakfast was good and unusual, sausages,bacon and roasted tomatoes on basil were exceptional as were some of the other locally sourced items. Our room was large and comfortable. There are a number of themed public spaces in the hotel containing all manner of interesting items not usually found in hotels

We have been travelling around and needed a hotel so we booed online then arrived, due to the time no meals where available but the staff called around and found us some ware to eat not far from the hotel. This is a very different hotel but we loved it.
