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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

We regularly travel to Bradford and this was my favourite accomodation so far. We had a great room - we got an upgrade, which was a lovely surprise. Staff were extremely friendly - particularly Victor in reception. Would definitely stay here again

United KingdomIt’s a bit tired. You’re getting character rather than modern facilities. Some of the grander public spaces need some attention. The breakfast is solid if unexciting.
It’s an old slab of English hotel, so you’re staying in history. I was in a room opposite the one Laurel & Hardy stayed in. The location is great and the staff are universally excellent. And the price is really pretty good value.

United KingdomThe bed was very small for a couple and uncomfortable….sorry we should have asked for extra pillows. Also cleaners trying to get into the room at 9 when check out 11…then to be told we were wrong!! After checking with reception to confirm checkout time to return before 10 to find cleaners already with our belongings inside the room cleaning. Not great really.
The hotel is lovely and very clean and tidy.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like
On arriving the reception area was comfortable & I thought the table with drinking water and glasses available were a nice touch I had a nice cold glass of water while my daughter checked in we Stayed in room 234 & my daughter was fascinated with the fact that. Oliver Hardy ( Laurel and Hardy ) had stayed in that room back in 1952 while they played at the Alambra the hotel had information on the wall outside the room as well as further information in reception area of other historical facts about the building and people who had stayed there, It was a good size room and even had iron and ironing board in the wardrobe just what we needed to be wrinkle free ( at least our clothes were) as we were attending family funeral the next day , My daughter treat me to breakfast via room service 10 out of 10 Wi-Fi reception in our room was excellent ( not like other hotels we have been in) It is definitely our hotel of choice in the future as it was also cheaper than our previous regular hotel

United KingdomOur arrival at reception, for the first time ever, was treated with disdain because we arrived too early to check in. With the hotel changing owners again since our last visit we weren’t aware. But having travelled for eight hours to visit a sick relative we were in need of a little comfort. There was only us at reception, so it wasn’t busy, but I had to return to query before the receptionist attempted to help, a room was empty and available which left my wondering why it wasn’t offered in the first instance. Having spent many years in the hospitality industry this would be an easy thing to do, especially knowing it could make all the difference to weary travellers. Eventually it was sorted and we were very grateful and expressed our thanks. I can only put it down to an off moment or busy with another task for the curt response in the beginning. It hasn’t put us off wanting to return because we have never experienced this before from any staff.
The property is a beautiful example of Bradford’s rich industrial heritage. It has a lovely ambience. It’s always very clean, well done to the housekeeping team. The beds are comfy Most of the staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. The breakfast is super and so is the breakfast staff. I always stay here on my return to the city.

United KingdomA bit of noise from the street out front. But nowt serious. I would have liked an alpaca in my room, but so few hotels have thus facility.
Really beautiful building, good price, rooms were comfortable and well equipped, bathroom was clean. Staff were very helpful, even sorted us out a couple of extra pillow late at night. Big thanks to the guy on the bar/night duty on the evening of 31st May. Can you get the adelphi in Liverpool up to this standard, please?

It was really basic. Hot food is cooked to order but nothing special I’m afraid. The hotel is very dated. Bathroom doors are fire doors so extremely heavy
