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 KingdomOne slight niggle during this stay was the loss of power overnight. Luckily my wife always carries a torch which was fortunate as our bathroom had no windows. Early the next morning we were given another room so we could shower etc. So no real drama.
We have stayed here several times now, and we are happy with the service provided.

United KingdomNo staff on reception - even the "budget" hotels manage to provided a service of giving guests the key to their room when they arrive! The passing staff walking by were perfectly civil communicating the message that servicing hotel guests was unimportant but we thought we were paying for more than civility. Made worse by a notice in the room to obtain fresh milk from the unmanned reception (we found a supermarket). The hotel appears not to know it is in the hospitality business.
Selected the hotel because of its central location in the heart of Boston.

United KingdomNo lift for those guests on upper floors. My room was on first floor and I stumbled on the top step of one flight when carrying my bag to my room because the handrail stopped level with the step and threw me off balance. Fortunately I fell forward onto the half landing and not backward down the stairs. Shaken but not physically damaged. Further along, the handrail by a few downward steps was coming loose from the wall. Regret no comment report in room and reception staff were busy when I departed to make comments discreetly.
Breakfast was good and had wide choice of options. Bar early dinner also tasty and served swiftly as our group had an early evening function at St Boltoph’s. Hotel therefore most convenient for access.

United KingdomRestaurant meals- tepid and Sunday roast beef was very chewy and hard to cut, also had to ask for updates on drinks orders more than once - gave up in the end (were refunded as non receipt at till, as never arrived although charged for). Shame as only negative rest of the stay was exceptional. Would definitely stay again but probably eat elsewhere.
Cleanliness, location, suite offered to us for our stay (very roomy)

United KingdomThe stairs! We did not realise there were so many to our room - room 206. No lift as an old building. One of us had breakfast and was slightly disappointed. [Breakfast is however, subjective. Friends of ours have stayed here a couple of times and thought the breakfast was superb.]
Car parking was good. Receptionist [Estee] was very nice, smiley and chatty. View of Boston Stump from our window was fabulous.

United KingdomEvening meal was average, ordered the large fish and chips which was tiny, I’d have been in tears if I’d have gone with the smaller version! Then crumble to finish which was at best ok. Expensive drinks but not surprising for a bar in the centre of Boston.
Centrally located property with own restaurant, good sized, comfortable rooms. Loved the little booklet in the room detailing the history of the property. Excellent breakfast though evening meal a little disappointing.
