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 KingdomVery noisy rooms. We could hear all sorts from both the road and the rooms next/above us. Killed all romanticism a few times. Definitely not insulated as advertised! No Nespresso coffee as per advertised. Broken Shower panel , purely an aesthetic defect but quite annoying.
Lovely central location , view of the cathedral, great front staff

United KingdomThe room was very hot,no air conditioning, and window only opened a short way,the cleaning lacked a lot of attension to detail, tea bags and milk not replaced, one day only 1 set of towels were left, but after contacting reception this was rectified straight away.
Location was the best, our room overlooked the cathedral, breakfast was fine plenty of choice and comfortable dining area.beds comfy and room size good, shower easy to use and very good.would stay here again, there was a car park, but travelled by train so did not use.this would be a plus, being in the middle of winchester , and parking being at a premium.

United KingdomFor the price, it would be hard to improve. I prefer a walk-in or dedicated shower instead of a bath with a shower.
The hotel is right in the centre with its own parking and overflows opposite into the council car park if there is no room. My room overlooked the cathedral as did the dining room, which made for fabulous outlook. The bar is well stocked and there is plenty of comfortable seating. The high street is just around the corner, making the hotel handy for shopping and restaurants. The hotel food was very good and the evening meals were delicious and inexpensive with a nice choice of dishes. The executive room was worth the small extra cost. The view over the cathedral grounds was nice and the large window made the room airy. There was a nice touch on arrival with a handwritten note from the manager and a plate of fruit and chocolate. The bathroom was fine. The free wifi throughout was very handy and easy to use.
