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 KingdomDue to a party event there was some noise untill midnight which was not too loud . PS car park around the back requires attention as it is not tidy at all around the back . Hotel room bedroom mattresses are surely up for a change as they do show signs of wear and tear.
The traditional layout of the entire hotel was exceptional.

IrelandThere was only one plug in the bedroom opposite side of the room and the room was very dated, the beautiful metal balustrade on the staircase could do with a good dusting, had to ask for clean towels as the ones we used the day before were put back on the towel rails wet through , was told by the manager that there was a sign up in the bathroom to leave them in the bath if you required clean ones , but double checked No Sign ?
The staff were very helpful, it’s a great location.

United KingdomThe room we were allocated was so shabby - the furniture was old and worn and the room smelled stale and the decor was a bit yuck - we paid an extra £60 (for our three night stay) to upgrade. The second room was better, although small, not that it was a problem as we were out most of the time. The bathroom did not have a working extractor. Hopefully, The City of Culture award will result in money being invested in the hotel
Staff were lovely, it was quiet, beautiful building, parking, bar prices were good, lovely position within Bradford, very good housekeeping, good shower but a grab rail would be useful for those of us less agile

NetherlandsWe had 2 fans in our room, one of which didn't work. It was a warm day and opening the window made it significantly noisier (we did that anyway). I should add, it wasn't a hot day, just a warm day. It could have been much worse.
I really liked that breakfast had a variety of cooked upon request options.

United KingdomThe laminate flooring near the door, it was a health and safety hazard (slipping with socks on) and not necessary. I think at check in there could have been more info offered, such as how to get to the room and location of lifts and stairs. Whilst beautiful, the building is a bit of a rabbit Warren.
Beautuful building with lots of character. The bed was comfortable and the room a good size. The shower was great, very powerful. The parking facility was very helpful, as was the central location.

We moved room as the one allocated to us smelt very strongly of tabacco smoke. the room we were put in was of good quality fixtures and fittings, although I could not work the free standing shower.
