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 KingdomDirty glasses at our room door when we arrived on our first day. The hairdryer in the room was disgusting very sticky!!. Chairs in the dining area were very dirty with old food marks all over the seats.Dissapointed with the dinner in the restaurant on our first night. Had issues with the room keys, which a member of staff did resolve but was stressful when they didn't work when we returned to our room after having breakfast the morning we were checking out early to catch our train.
All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The lounge area was very clean and welcoming and a nice space to sit and relax . Breakfast was good every morning, and dinner in the restaurant on our 2nd night was good.

United KingdomAs with all hotels, it would be great if there was a cheaper breakfast option - just coffee and toast or a croissant to start the day.
I have stayed here a few times. I like it's proximity to the station, the friendly welcome, the quality of the coffee at the bar, and the shower.

United KingdomIn my bathroom, the drain was clogged, causing water to overflow beyond the shower boundaries. The towels had a slightly acidic and unpleasant smell. On the second day of my stay, there was no parking available.
In my room and bathroom, I appreciated the cleanliness. The location was also great. I also enjoyed the option of using the billiards, darts, and other amenities downstairs at the hotel.

United KingdomMy room had no heating and the hotel was fully booked so couldn’t offer me a room swap however the lady on reception got me a electric heater which helped massively. Also the cards for the rooms are very very sensitive to phones and bank cards so I had to go to reception 3 times as my card to the room wasn’t opening the door. Reception advised me to not hold the card by my phone or bank card.
Good location 5/10 minutes from station. Short walk into town centre. Good decor and aesthetics
