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 KingdomI do have to note that as with other reviews there are issues with cleanliness - the bed and tea making facilities were clean but the room had a thick layer of dust on coving and lightshade, and the bathroom was unfortunate - Again, the loo, sink and shower pretty clean, but handles, flush, bathmats, corners etc need a deep clean.
The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful - let me stow my bag in a secure room both before check in and after check out without any charge, and offered me a choice of rooms based on my tolerance for noise as there was more than one available.

United KingdomMy only minor niggle is the shower on the first floor of rooms is terrible, boiling hot if on full but back it off a tiny bit and its freezing, probably needs replacing. Luckily there's another shower on the top floor ( not sure you're supposed to use this one though, it's in a utility room ) which works much better.
Nice little cheap and cheerful room above a pub.

United KingdomThe rooms are above a busy pub, which is a bit noisy until midnight. This didn't bother me much, but some might disagree.
This is no-nonsense accommodation which is very handily placed, near to both the city centre and the railway station. The room was spacious and clean, with kettle, iron and ironing board.

United KingdomThe toilet/shower (at end of the short corridor) is shared with another room but, for the price of the room, which was the lowest I could find by some margin, there's nothing I'd change.
Was well met by the friendly manager Rob and given a very clear and useful brief. Pub was well situated, near a couple of car parks and easy to get to. I'll definitely consider returning here again.

New ZealandOne of the windows in my room was open about 10cms the whole time, I was worried it would be to cold, but the heating was good. It did let in a lot of noise, but ear plugs were supplied. There were no net curtains, so when I was there during the day I had to close the curtains for privacy.
Friendly staff, I very much appreciated the guy carrying my trolley downstairs.

United KingdomNo food or breakfast offers, music a little loud and public shared amenities not good option as paid similar elsewhere for my own room and my own bathroom with breakfast meals included.
Loved the staff, very friendly. Public shower facilities are shared so did not use them for personal reasons. Wi-fi did not have any access from unscrupulous persons - and was with a similar link I used to have in a housing association and provided the level of privacy required in the room I was in. So extremely happy about that. Staff friendly and informative, informed me that homeless people locally seen before were linked to addiction trades but unknownif that information is correct or not, as helped out someone locally and am not into that myself.

United KingdomCould have done with a hairdryer in the room and more coat hangers. Some of the maintenance and repairs looked a bit bodged. There were some spots that they had missed off when dusting (e.g. lampshade). The bed creaked.
Firstly, Rob, the manager, was wonderful. I was injured during my break, and he was so helpful in helping me by carrying bags and things that I could no longer manage due to being on crutches. He even asked me to phone reception from my room to ask him to come and help me and helped me down the stairs, etc. The hotel is basic but adequate. There is a shared bathroom, but it was usually free when you wanted to use it. The room had a sink, and shampoo and shower gel were provided as were towels. The hotel is above a lively sports pub which serves good drinks but no longer does food in the evenings ( not sure about breakfast as had to get up and out too early to find out on day one and then missed off day two due to injury).

United KingdomMinor ''inconveniences'' - and only minor. Shared loo/shower down the hall - and it was boiling hot in there. Plug socket in room not near enough to mirror to make drying hair easy. Inadequate space between bed and full-length dressing mirror - moving the furniture around in the room would help with that, so that a guest could step back far enough to see themselves in the mirror. Overhead light a bit dim; even using bedside light didn't make it light enough in the room to see when putting make-up on. Again, brighter bulbs would help - and the bedside lamp was more suited by size to being in a sitting room. But all of these observations are of minor issues. Overall, I managed very well during my stay - and I'd stay again if I needed to be in Salisbury overnight.
As a solo, female traveller, I felt safe. Clean room - decor a little dated. Fresh-smelling white cotton bed linen (duvet) and towels, reasonable pillows and a fluffy ''throw'' cushion for leaning against. In-room washbasin with mirror above. Plenty of hot water for washing and a selection of toiletries were provided. Full length dressing mirror. Fair-size wardrobe with ironing board and iron. Small electric fan. Openable window. Comfy bed, if a little squeaky. Tea/coffee station, well-stocked with decent branded items and good biscuits. Little round side table and a bucket chair provided for sitting. Door wedge and snib lock for security. Access to secure little outside terrace for smoking and chatting. The overall appearance of furniture in the room (room 7) is a little bit ''early flatpack'' and quite dated/cheap-looking, but it's perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. Friendly customers in the pub below the rooms and although there was a little noise from the pub until 12.30 (on a Friday night) it wasn't intrusive. The other guests I met were all ''returners'', so it's definitely not a bad place to stay - people like a bargain. I feel I got what I paid for at the Huntsman- and, considering some of the less-than-flattering reviews I read about it, I got more than I was expecting and I wasn't unhappy at all with my experience. It's a budget price hotel in a city where other hotels are MUCH more expensive.
