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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomWe were on the first floor overlooking a side street, and early morning, there were lorries collecting glass bottle bins on one morning, which woke us up. There was also a lot of noise coming from the floor above at around 4/5am, which sounded like tables and chairs being moved. There are a lot of conference rooms in this hotel so I could have been that. But it was a ridiculous time to do this. It went on for around 30 minutes, so it was very disruptive.
Staff were very friendly, room was clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast had a good variety and was very nice.

United KingdomThe facilities are poor the building is rundown. There isn’t else much to offer for value for money. It’s just a room in a hotel with a breakfast bar.
The location is perfect, but I’m afraid that all the holiday Inn has got.

United KingdomWe booked weeks in advance but still didn’t manage to get ourselves a sea view room. The view was nice enough though, of Regency Square and the 360 ride. Check in was strictly 4pm which led to big queues at that time. No chance of early check in but they do have a luggage drop service. The photos of the lobby and outside seating on their website are a bit misleading. There’s only one restaurant and it’s very limited for space, inside, lobby level and a bit basic. But the staff were amazing and made up for it.
Staff are friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was really good. There’s a little cafe bar that sells food and has a kid’s menu. There’s a/c in the rooms and the windows are good at keeping out noise from the street. We had a child’s bed in the room at no extra cost, we just needed to ask on arrival and they brought it up a while later. There’s a room service menu, no deserts but you can buy chocolate bars at the cafe.

United StatesThe air conditioning did not work. A fan was in the room but just moved the hot air around. The tub was way too deep to accommodate a person 5'3" and 87 years old without a death wish.
The staff treated us well. The breakfast was good. The room was clean. The site was perfect.

United KingdomIssues with early check-in despite calling in advance where the lady I spoke with said she had clearly marked next to my name that an early check-in was verbally agreed. Luckily this was resolved within around 20 minutes of arriving however was slightly baffled considering I’d called earlier in the day. Rooms were dated and not the cleanest however it did have all the basics we needed.
Great location. Clean reception area and good parking facilities. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

United KingdomWe booked a larger premium room that has really poor decor. There was a badly stained chair that was swapped out for us, an ancient looking phone that didn’t work and was replaced, but mostly the water stained ceiling around the AC unit, flaking paint around the bathroom door and chips on the skirting just showed a really tired decor that desperately needs a full redecoration. It did not feel four star. The bed sheets were immaculate but the bed felt old and very soft in the middle too. Possibly one of the worst condition rooms I’ve stayed at in decades, didn’t expect that from Holiday Inn.
The reception and breakfast staff were excellent, friendly attentive and worked really hard as the hotel was full. We had some issues with our room that were sorted rapidly by the reception lady. The choice of breakfast items and quality was really good. When I gave feedback on the poor room politely on check out, the reception lady really listened and responded appropriately and said the rooms are tired and a makeover is due in 2025. I really appreciated her honesty and professionalism.
