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.).

SpainThe stairs but only because I'm so unfit!! Haha. I did book this knowing there was no lift and it was fine - i could work off some of the lovely cocktails from the bar on my way up to the room. The staff offered to help with luggage.
In a great location with lovely rooms, staff were great. Special shout to Luke who was fantastic, had lots of local knowledge and recommendations for us. He was always there to help or ask us how our day was, remembering parts of previous conversations. The bed and pillows were so comfy.

United KingdomThe only thing that is a pain and it’s a very small thing in room 103 the bathroom door needs to be replaced the shower is amazing but the door means the water can flood the bathroom. I have stayed in the room 3 times in the last 18 months and it’s the only issue I’ve every had.
Staff are amazing I always stay at the lock and key when I stay in Liverpool. The staff go above and beyond, hotel clean and comfy beds. Hotel is spotless and I will continue to rebook at the lock and key for my stays in Liverpool.

I can not rate this hotel and their staff highly enough. We stayed for 4 nights at lock and key as we were getting married in liverpool. The room was beautiful, lovely and clean and very comfortable, like the hotel. The restaurant and food was amazing. The staff at the hotel are wonderful and nothing is to much trouble for them, they are very kind and make sure that everything is right for you and luke is wonderful and I can't thank him enough for everything he did. Will definitely be back.

United KingdomWe have stayed here several times before and enjoy the general ambiance. Our room was comfortable and spacious. We made use of the Hanover Street multi-story pre-booked discount which was a bonus. We like the small bar area and regret that we had to leave too early for breakfast on this particular occasion. We will certainly be back.

IrelandNothing to not like about this hotel.
The location of this hotel was absolutely superb. Just a min walk from Liverpool one and the bus station. The staff were extremely helpful,they couldn't do enough for their guests. I booked a cosy double room which was a bit tight but we had every facility we needed in our room. We travel to Liverpool reguarly and this hotel has been a wonderful find. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay in Liverpool. Thank you Lock & Key.
