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.).

AustraliaThere were no windows only a skylight so the room was a bit stuffy and hot. We were on the top floor so there was lots of stairs. There was an issue with the hot water which they neglected to tell us so we were unable to use the shower. There were no instructions for the coffee maker.
The staff were lovely. The room was nice and cosy, the bed was comfortable. The meals were well priced. You can walk to the shops and pubs. There are so many pubs to choose from, it's awesome.

United KingdomThe reception area closes early, so after a certain time in the evening, access is via a fire escape at the rear of the building. It was okay for us, but would not be suitable for anyone who couldn't manage narrow, steep steps. The hotel wasn't doing breakfasts. Again this didn't bother us, but might be an issue for others.
The Plough is in a great location, within easy walking distance of the town centre facilities. There is plenty of parking at the rear of the hotel. The member of staff who checked us in was friendly, helpful and explained all we needed to know. The room was small but clean and comfortable.

United KingdomMix up with room types. Twin rooms booked, they were doubles when we arrived. One was converted, but we had to manage with the second as a double. However the manager basically gave us the room for free. Apparently, Booking don’t always inform them about these special requests, so best to contact the hotel direct in advance with these!
Centrally located, clean, own parking. Manager was extremely helpful re mix up about rooms

United KingdomThe room is in need of a refresh, as the floor tiles are cracked in the bathroom, and the bedside light as a faulty switch. You have to enter the room via the fire escape when the bar is closed. For us this caused an issue as the entry fob on keys didn't work. I reported that, and was told the manager would call me about it which he didn't. Upon leaving I was asked about my stay, so mentioned the inconvenience of the door entry.,and was told the manager again would speak to me about it. But he as not called me about the issue. The door had not been repaired Upon leaving.
The room,Gadgie. Was a good size and the bed is comfortable. The staff are exceptional, they did what they could to help.

United KingdomI was aware that my room would be on the second floor, the internal stairs are as expected however the external ones, allowing access out of hours or directly to the carpark, are shallow treads and quite narrow so I wouldn't recommend anyone unsteady on their feet to use them.
Good sized room for visiting Alnwick for a wedding. Perfect location with free parking, I'd recommend using the carpark entrance two buildings up as the archway entrance is very tight, my parking sensors were having a meltdown going through. Nicely decorated room, comfy bed, big mirrors, accessible power sockets. No wardrobe but hanging space provided on a coat rack with a few clothes hangers, I'm not a fan of metal coat hangers though. Kettle in the room, plenty of tea bags, milk sachets and coffee pods (although I didn't know how to operate the coffee machine, no instruction manual). Simple access out of hours using a key fob to open the external door to your floor. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomNothing serious, there were no pods for the nespresso coffee machine,we were told they were on order, we asked about a cooked breakfast but was told that at tthis time they only offered a continental breakfast but could inform us of places to go for one nearby, perhaps because its early in the season, but would have liked one there as we thought it was available,the building is a lovely listed place ,so no lift if anyone is disabled, the doors close at around 9.30 and the bar also closes, so anyone wanting a drink would need to use one of the local bars,you have to use a fob key to gain entry to the hotel via the fire escape entrances,so if anyone is disabled they would have to specify a room on the first floor
The hotel was tidy and clean,the staff were friendly and helpful, nice bar area and the choice of food was good and very good value for money,you could eat in the restaurant or the bar area,a nice place in a good location
