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...).

United KingdomOnly the breakfast. Only 1 egg (between 3 of us) when we went to "help yourself", 1 x hash brown and the mushrooms were stone cold. Having said that, the ladies did a lot of running about topping up trays, seating people and serving tea/coffee as well as clearing away empty tables. There were cereals and pastries plus a toaster machine, Juices, ham and cheese plus fruits - so a good choice. Coffee/Tea top-ups were offered too. Nice restaurant setting though.
Easy and quick check in. Entered car reg into a "tablet" at the desk. On getting to the rooms, both were doubles (even though we booked a double and a twin). Reception sorted this immediately and our "Twin" was allocated on a separate floor and was not an exec room and no offer was made to refund the difference. However, it was totally functional, quiet and the bed was comfortable. There was tea/coffee making facilities, it was clean and there was hot water in the shower. Not many car parking spaces though - but we did manage to get one. We had a meal in the "brasserie" which was lovely. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly - meals reasonably priced and a good menu. We had breakfast in The Restaurant which was a hot/cold buffet style. Hotel is lovely - more traditional and elegant (not like other chains where you could be anywhere in the World). All the staff we met were very friendly and cheerful from Reception to housekeeping, Brasserie to Restaurant. All in all an excellent stay and yes - we would return.

United KingdomThe mattress on our bed was rather lumpy and needs replacing. As I prefer a firm mattress I didn’t sleep very well.
Lovely bathroom, great decor and very clean. Location was good as easy walk from interchange station. The French ballroom where our dance was held was beautifully maintained and decorated with stunning chandeliers. Plenty of choice of fresh fruit at the breakfast buffet and very tasty cooked to order breakfast.

United KingdomThe corridors are maze-like, and if you have a room in the centre, you will have a view of a narrow central well with other windows (which made opening the window impossible) Plus a lot of pigeons (in the well) cooing throughout the night. It is an old hotel that sadly feels quite dated.
Comfortable, spacious room. Excellent Shower and water pressure. The staff very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomRoom was a little on the small side and had too much furniture in it - I had to keep moving the coffee table so I could sit down. Room design felt a little dated though the main areas of the hotel were stunning. Unfortunately my key card stopped working a couple of times but staff were always happy to help.
Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely big bathroom.

United KingdomI honestly can't come up with anything!
The hotel is in a great location in the city centre and free parking was included which was a real bonus. It has recently been refurbished and they have managed to maintain the lovely character of the beautiful interior. The room was tastefully decorated, spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed and good size en suite. All the staff we met were welcoming, helpful and professional and overall we had a great stay! Breakfast was good quality and freshly cooked - great value! We will definitely return when visiting family again.

NetherlandsThe toilets near the dining room looked a bit shabby. One was out of order, the other one had run out of toilet paper.
I likes the comfortabele spaciousness of the room and bathroom. Breakfast was also very nice and with plenty things to chose from. The hotel has a feel of grandeur without coming across too posh.
