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 KingdomThe eggs at breakfast were a tiny bit overcooked.
The room was lovely and they played classical music on the radio when we came in, which was a great bonus. The room was well decorated and beds luxurious. They provided a dog bowl and treats in the room, plus a coffee machine for the humans. The breakfast was delicious and very well arranged. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomMy evening meal was poor and when I mentioned it to the waitress she didn’t know how to deal with it. Nobody spoke to me about it and I left the restaurant feeling annoyed rather than happy.
Great position; beautifully renovated; comfortable room with nice bedding; breakfast.

United KingdomAs one might expect in an older building, our room had some slanting floorboards which was slightly off-putting…but the room was still generously sized and comfortable. Parking seemed to be a free-for-all with some cars being allowed to block cars whilst others weren’t. However, there are other parking options very close and cost only £1 overnight (6pm until 8am). Also, the water pressure in the shower was a little weak for my preference.
Breakfast was delicious. There is a continental you can access whilst your cooked breakfast is being prepared. Note that if you go later in the breakfast slot some continental options run out (such as the chocolate croissants much to my partners chagrin)

United StatesThe parking situation is a mess. We ended up at a public lot more than a quarter mile away. The information does not make it clear that parking is generally not available. Also should note the rooms do not have air con and it could get stuffy
Good location and a very clean room that seemed fairly recently updated. Small but fair given price of the room

United KingdomThe room was nicely decorated but very small for the price. It was next to a busy main road. It was across the road from the hotel, meaning a walk outdoors, whatever the weather, for breakfast. The weather was good. No dishes were moved throughout breakfast off any table despite the tables blocking up.
The decor was nice. The staff were nice and very helpful. The location is good. The hotel has character, inside and out.

United KingdomParking may be a problem, and there is a small free hotel car-park. There other car-parks a short walk from the hotel but these incur an overnight charge. We were advised by e-mail of the parking facilities before our stay. Once we arrived at the hotel we were able to park the car in the hotel car-park for our 5 night stay. We decided to leave the car parked and use the bus or reasonably priced taxi services to get to the various places that we wanted to visit during our stay. Therefore, it was not a problem for us but I can appreciate this may be a concern for other guests staying at the hotel.
The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly - including the cleaning staff, the receptionists, the bar staff, the restaurant staff and the chef who chatted to us too. The location of the hotel was excellent and very central with easy access to bus stops. The rooms we stayed in were lovely and situated on the second floor of the main hotel building. There is no lift (being an historic building) so a member of staff kindly arranged for our luggage to be taken to our rooms.
