Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like 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...).

Very friendly and helpful staff, cracking town centre location in a very old building full of quirks and character. Much prefer staying in these really old buildings over modern boring hotels.

United KingdomThe website states that the restaurant is open on Wednesdays and all the signage around the property including in the courtyard supports this. However on arriving I found that it was not which was a little disappointing. The decoration in the bedroom was very tired and dated to a point where the plaster on the walls was cracked and broken. The shower in the bathroom was tricky to get the temperature right on but not impossible. The room lights can only be turned on and off at the main switch by the door but there are two bedside table top lights, you just need to remember to turn them on before turning off the main lights.
The building is really historical and looks incredible. I stayed in a four poster suite which was very clean and tidy. The floor slopes quite a bit which is to be expected due to the age of the building and it adds to the character and charm of the room. The bed was extremely comfortable and I had a great night’s sleep.

United KingdomI would prefer to be on the first floor and thereby avoid the steep staircase. However it is a 15th century coaching inn and so steep stairs are to be expected.
I have stayed here before as the location is brilliant - right in the centre of Gloucester. Hotel room was very clean and comfortable although it was tired-looking. Hotel is under new management and improvements are being made. My room was on the second floor and stairs were very steep - previously I have been on the first floor which I would prefer. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful - one took my case down the stairs for me when she saw me struggling.

United KingdomThe Noise. Don’t go on a karaoke night !
The manager welcomed us in the bar as we arrived he was very friendly and helpful. The room had a four poster bed and was superb. The only negative to this hotel is noise, but this was not a suprise as I had read previous reports. Bottom line is if your sleep is easily disturber take some ear plugs, I did and it was fine.

United KingdomThe signage to reception is a bit confusing when you arrive but a customer at the bar noticed that I wasn’t sure where to go and pointed me in the right direction.
It’s central location as I was singing at the Cathedral that weekend. The historic nature the old beams, gallery made it a special place to stay. I arrived Friday evening and there was a daughter and father singing in the courtyard which was enjoyable to sit and listen to with a drink.
