Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomThe room was a bit noisy the windows rattled - they had secondary glazing over the sash windows which were not very well fixed. The included breakfast was ok, we went down at the end of service and I think by then the food had been sat for a couple of hours, soggy hash browns and bullet fried eggs! The coffee in the jug was clearly instant coffee The area is a little rough, there were youngsters doing wheelies down the middle of the road regarxless of pedestrians or cars and people were openly supplying drugs on the street and also in the pub!
The room was an excellent price so I didn't expect 4 star! The room was a little tired but none the less quite clean. The bed was extremely comfy. Location was perfect for popping over the road for a pint at 2 Wetherspoons!

United KingdomVery very hot, its like the central heating is jammed on full. Its in a very noisy location, expect noise on a weekend until after 2 am. So if you are a light sleeper, this is probably not the place for you
Nice Bed - Value for Money. Its in a very central location and only 2 mins walk to the train station and bars and restaurants. The breakfast was spot on also.

United KingdomJust that it was a little rough around the edges but it's an old building so it's to be expected. Maybe the curtains could've been rehung and the odd lick of paint here and there but all in all not bad for the price.
The location was ideal as it was literally 2 mins from the station and there was a vast selection of bars and restaurants on Botchergate (the road the hotel was on). The room itself was huge, good supply of tea and coffee and towels too. Good price for a budget hotel

United KingdomWith the great location right in the centre of town comes a huge problem The noise at night from the surrounding bars is almost deafening, you are not getting any sleep until they empty and go home at 01.30 or 02.30 on the night the clocks change... After that all is well Please please get double glazed windows on street side rooms in place of old sash windows
Great location, huge room, very comfortable bed

United KingdomNothing really bad but for 10 quid it would have been nice to have had a persoally cooked breakfast.
This hotel was in the centre of town so a brilliant location for anybody visiting for tourist reasons. The building itself was full of character with a lot of windy corridors in which I got a little bit lost. I had a single room which was not very big but adequate for a single guy and it was dog friendly which is a big plus for me. The room had a bath which is unusual and very welcome. The downstairs rooms had the potential to be very good . The dining room was in two parts and I was in the dog friendly partner which was the better one and full of character with an interesting fireplace and ceilings . I paid for breakfast but it wasn't brilliant with a buffet style setup with scrambled eggs, sausages, etc. Already prepared . I was vegetarian and they could prepare a vegetarian option but I would have to wait so I didn't . It was not a bad breakfast but if it was not so early in the morning I would have gone outside and found a cafe. There is a grand piano in in the ground floor and I think this hotel has the potential to be an interesting venue in its own right? And I would imagine the owners. I'll probably looking to improve it as they go along. All in all a good experience and I could not complain about the value for money, the dog friendliness and the bath that was available, which I think would be very hard to find another locations for the price.

Almost zero sleep but that staff were exceptionally helpful and moved us to the rear of the hotel for the second night
