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 KingdomIt’s a bit battered in places. The back of our remote control for the TV kept falling off. The room was very warm and could do with a fan.
The location is excellent with a quick walk into town. The rooms are spotless.

No breakfast available. However, many other hotels nearby accommodated non residents. Also there were plenty of other places to get breakfast.

United StatesIt was a very hot day, and there was little/no air circulation in the rooms or on the floor generally. We asked for a fan, and they found one, but it was very loud and erratic. Fortunately, the window opened fairly wide and there was a bit of a breeze overnight so it wasn't too bad.
Walkable from the train station, and close to many restaurants and the canal. Room was clean, checkin/out was easy, and it was comfortable enough. No frills, but then you're not paying for fancy. :) It was a last-minute booking, I think it was just a couple hours before we arrived, and they were very responsive and prepared for us.

United KingdomNothing, really. Just note that they have 10 or 11 rooms and 6 parking spaces.
The location is great. The pub next door, where you collect your keys from, has a great selection and the staff are very friendly. Just to note, they do not do food. There is an Aldi literally over the road, so if you need anything, it's on the doorstep. Loved the fridge in the room. We removed the shelf and could fit a lot more in, so we had a couple of cheeky drinks in the room. There are lots of places to eat in Retford.

United Kingdomthere was a green light (don’t know if it was an emergency light?) which was extremely bright which made it difficult to get to sleep quickly, also the walls are fairly thin so we heard someone next door snoring
it was very clean , the fact that you have to use a fob to get in made us feel very safe

United KingdomThe room was ideal but was starting to look a bit dated. It would have been good if the pub did food as the weather was not great and we had to wander out in the pouring rain.
The location was good and the staff at the pub were very helpfull. There was a good atmosphere in the pub and the selection and price of the drinks were very good.

United KingdomWe had an issue with the heating in our food. When arriving we immediately noticed how hot the room was - the heating was on full. We turned the bedroom radiator off completely, but there was no way to turn off the bathroom one. We had to have two bartenders come up to try resolve this issue but radiator would not be turned off. Wasn’t just on - it was burning hot! Sleep and comfort was definitely effected because of this - but besides this, was a super pleasant stay
Safe, clean space and such value for money. Would definitely recommend.

United KingdomIt's clearly stated that the nearby pub has live bands - so it's not a criticism, as the management placed me in a room as far away from the pub as they could manage. The band stopped playing on the dot of 11pm :)
A repeat visit. Lovely rooms, great location for the places that I needed to visit, parking on site. Very clean and comfortable.
