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 StatesIt would be nice for the hotel to have a free shuttle to and from the airport, although the walk is reasonable without rain. The rooms are pretty small.
Check-in was excellent. The restaurant was good and convenient. The location is superb to Gatwick Airport

United KingdomFirstly, its a shame we have to get used to the fact that for those on a plant based diet, there is little choice in the restaurant for the main course. A vegan burger was the only option. I think a big chain like the Marriot could work a little harder on this as there are more people who would like the option of not having to have meat and dairy. Even one more main dish? Also - the bath had some black mould bedded into the silicone and some of the sealant wasnt finished properly. A shame to spoil an otherwise lovely room with black mould for the sake of some fresh silicone!(and no, I am not volunteering to bring a tube next time!) Last thing! PLEASE let people know that some of the walk to the hotel is not undercover. Some hotels have a dedicated covered walkway. There is about 5 minutes of potential drenching - we were lucky as the carpark flooded overnight! Also - we looked at getting a Hoppa bus- the driver told us that it would take upto 40 minutes by bus vs a ten minute walk(we got there in 7!)
The Room was good, beds very comfortable and room was very clean and quiet(see notes about what we didnt like)let down on some small details. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good nights sleep. Great breakfast.

United KingdomThe hotel restaurant has a clunky ordering system on a tablet on the table. No way to check what you have ordered with regards to food. One of our meals didn't arrive initially as the order hadn't made it to the kitchen. That system needs reviewing.
The reception staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Superb service from the lady who checked us in on arrival. Lovely spacious room. Good value for money.

United KingdomOmg, where to start on dinner. Horrendous. Firstly the staff on front desk are quite rude and snappy. If you ask a question it was met with eye rolling. Went to dinner, which was a big mistake. Some new feature where you order via a tablet, very unsociable. Then we were met by the most horrendously cooked meals. Burger baps which were frozen and just about thawed, a chicken fillet which was so overcooked it could have passed off as chipboard and chips which had been under a heat lamp for 2 weeks previous. The salad looked like it was a handful from a bag squirted with too much balsamic vinegar, and then the drinks served in dirty glasses. To top this off they had the ordacity to try and charge £85 for this muck... Needless to say I refused to pay and this was accepted by a pleasant bar manager who apologised and said the main chef wasn't there that night... Sad that they still tried to serve it though. It didn't spoil the beginning of our holiday though and we got up next morning after a nice sleep and travelled on. Overall decent hotel, just don't eat there!
Beds were comfy, good location for flight next morning. Shower and bathroom good. Shuttle to airport is excellent feature

United StatesWe booked a family room for 4 adults, I didn’t see the standard room but ours seemed like a standard size with 2 queen beds. Restaurant was somewhat different in that the menu was a screen and extras or deletions were a pain. I think we called the waiter 5 different times to complete our order. Counterproductive and frustrating. It was our first time in the UK so maybe that’s the way things are but we prefer the traditional approach.
It was okay, staff was very friendly and breakfast was a nice selection. Location next to the Airport was good but don’t try to roll your luggage over those bumpy sidewalks. Take the shuttle for £4.20 and save the wheels.

United KingdomWalking access from the train station, the hotel was poorly signposted and there were a lot of stairs. If you were not too fit this walking access would have made it very difficult with a case. There should be a ramp or lift or at the very least should be pointed out that stairs had to be negotiated
The comfortable bed, dinner in the evening and the staff could not have been nicer. Very welcoming

United KingdomI wasn't aware that if we book Marriott Hotels with Booking.com we are not eligible to receive the Marriott Rewards, the card is not valid. When I presented my rewards card, the Reception lady was really rude, saying if you don't pay the Marriott rate you don't get points. ( I certainly wasn't aware of that) I have booked about 8 nights with Booking .Com in Marriott. It will be the Hilton at Gatwick and City airport in the future
Close to the Terminal at Gatwick , we walked to the hotel from the south Terminal. We stayed on the night pre flying on holiday and also on our return

United KingdomIn view of the price of the hotel, I wouldn’t expect to pay £4.50pp each way for the shuttle bus. A timetable would have been nice for airport pick up too. At 1am we were wondering if the bus was going to show or if we’d have to walk with lots of luggage.
The room was exceptionally comfortable and there was every toiletry included in the room that you could possibly need which were fabulous quality. Robes and slippers. Excellent variety at breakfast. All staff were superb.

The close proximity to the airport and the regular shuttle bus to the terminals make this an ideal location. We had a very very comfortable stay.
