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 wait to order in the restaurant and the time it took to get food out was too long, and in timing staff were not always that good (although I thought they might be understaffed and this could easily be remedied). The food was on the whole excellent, but my friend ordered a Raspberry Kranekan which had no oats, so was basically just raspberries and cream. Particularly disappointed as she expects this dish to have an alcoholic ingredient which was also missing.
On the whole everything was great.

United KingdomWe would have liked more information in the room about the hotel and the surrounding area with information about bus services and walks close to the hotel. There were tea and coffee sachets available in the room but no biscuits which would have been a good addition. Perhaps some sofas downstairs in the seating area would have added comfort.
The hotel was pristine and had comfortable places to sit and have a coffee from the Starbucks cafe or the Scholars restaurant to have a meal. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was great and very peaceful - out of the city but with a good bus service in. There are lovely walks from the hotel into the countryside.. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The shower room was also good though the shower itself was not very powerful, possibly because we were on the 5th floor. All in all a very good location for a stay in Stoke or Newcastle. We very much enjoyed our visit

United KingdomNothing for a short stay, but for a longer stay it would be great to have a pool!
Excellent modern hotel set in a surprisingly rural location with great views from the upper floors. Bedroom was very comfortable and well equipped. Great choice at breakfast and a relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant.

United KingdomLittle expensive in the restaurant, we were going to find a nice pub restaurant to have our evening meal, but as we were both really hungry, we couldn't be bothered to try and look for somewhere, so had a meal in the hotel, not a massive choice on offer but what we had was nice, if a little bit pricey.
Clean new hotel, really modern and well appointed. Breakfast was awesome.

United KingdomThe toaster made soggy toast even though the sign claims that they have it set just right to make perfect toast!
The room was clean, spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. I liked the fact that as "a woman of a certain age", I could control the room temperature and turn it right down. I was also impressed by the shower, the controls were on a different wall entirely to the shower which means you don't get wet when turning it on! The staff were really helpful and understanding. I was staying with my little boy before attending an Assessment Day at the Caudwell Children's Centre.
