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 KingdomOur key card access didn't always work which was annoying but the staff was able to fix it but it played up after again before checking out.
I loved the location of the hotel and it was quite spacious for my friend and I. The staff attended to our requests, especially with an early morning check in.

United KingdomThe hotel was put up by double the price due to it being on the night of the Taylor Swift concert. Coming from the Isle of Wight I had no choice but to book it in advance for after the show, or I’d be sleeping in the road! Very expensive for what was offered even if they didn’t put up the prices. No hairdryer in the room either. Some of the decor was worn and needed replacing. Room needs updating all together as bathroom was modern. Didn’t have a breakfast as again was expensive. (Other hotels do the same food but cheaper) Holiday Inn’s are cheaper and offer a lot more in the rooms. And their buffet breakfast is cheaper for high quality food that I had the previous day.
The staff were really friendly and helpful. Clean rooms with comfy beds. Better insulated rooms than most hotels to block out noise.

United KingdomCarpet in room 1011 is dirty very stained. More coffee needs to be supplied. A mirror by desk area would be really useful as girl needs daylight to apply makeup!
Staff were all with no exception very friendly and very helpful definitely the most positive part of visit 😊 Breakfast is decent not special. Rooms basic but adequate. Ultimately you pay for ideal location for gigs. The hotel is not flash not special but very functional with lovely people working there giving visitors great experience.

United KingdomThe hand soap and shower gels were in bottles which were difficult to open doesn’t matter which way you opened it the top didn’t pop up like it was meant to, would recommend revisiting this method. Stains on the carpet where off putting also. Especially as it was a room we paid for £522 it was not worth that amount it was only that rate as there was a concert in the town.
Very central to the train station and the stadium, very pleasant staff and the room was nice spacious and clean.

United KingdomThe double bed was two singles that kept coming apart in the night. When we said on check out the advice was we should have said before. This is fair enough but as it was the middle of the night when we realised, the advice was not helpful.
It was in a great location and great views.
