Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Very clean and modern rooms. Very friendly staff and excellent breakfast. Fantastic location for town centre. Good parking. Pleasantly surprised with room size as we had chosen smallest double room option.

We travelled from Shropshire visiting our children in Guildford. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable, our executive room was upgraded to a Deluxe room - superb) for free, and we had a good night's sleep. Had the best shower ever in a hotel room. Good breakfast and hotel in a really good location. The staff are very attentive, helpful, and full of smiles. The lady that was on duty in the breakfast room today- 24/02/2024 was exceptional. Joyce, Arvt & Pujab were so helpful. We will stay at the Mandolay again and recommend it to our friends.

NetherlandsOne size double bed in all rooms. Like a starter double bed. Too small for us to be comfortable. Executive triple room too small for 2 adults and an 8 year old. A double bed and a single bed. Great, but fits in the room only because of small double bed. Noisy neighbours. Expensive pre-booked car park. £20 per night I thought was excessive considering the amount paid for the 3 night stay in the first place!
Location. Easily walkable into Guildford Town Centre. Hotel room had ironing board, iron, hair dryer, plenty of hanging space for clothes. Decent enough tea and coffee and a decent nespresso style machine - we did have to change ours on the first morning after finding out it didn’t work. But hey ho. They replaced it that morning after we reported it. Breakfast did a good full English. Continental was ok with croissants and rolls and a small selection of cheese and meats. jams and honey although disappointing was the lack of strawberry jam. (Just the best with croissant!). Decent selection of beers in the bar. Evening meal was a pretty good menu. Creamy garlic mushroom starter was delicious!!! Burger and Thai curry also fabulous!!

United KingdomThe only thing I’d mention, is that for that size/type of room and price you pay you would expect a much bigger bed. I would say the bed was the same size as other smaller rooms. It would just be a nice perk and what other hotels have. Layout of the room was a little weird too. With the tv in the corner you couldn’t really watch it from the bed. No dressing gown or slippers, would also be a nice touch, and although there is room service there was no menu in the room. A suggestion to the hotel, have a set breakfast menu for the people that want room service. It was a little confusing to order not knowing what the options were and what I ended up with was not worth £14 😅
Location is great, just 5 mins walk down into town. Plenty of restaurants close by. The room was so big, very clean, fridge, coffee maker (which was a bit temperamental) and nice bathroom. The lady who checked me in was so incredibly nice, even showed me to the room.
