Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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...).

United KingdomThe bed was very squeaky.
Location is perfect. Breakfast was okay. There's no chopped up fruits to go in the yogurt. Everything was labelled at breakfast well. The radio is a nice touch.

United KingdomThe water was very hot...should have a warning. X1 adult x1 child...end of a row room opposite the fire exit... on a floor with contractors. The room above me was very noisy when walking around. The room next door was very loud, maybe thin walls...did have to complain about that...heard every word.
Staff were lovely and polite. Breakfast was really nice, and so were the options available... more continental options were needed, but we were down half an hour before the end of breakfast. And the toast machine...didnt burn the bread! Waitress nice and polite and took away plates etc...once finished. Room and areas around were very clean All facilities we needed and had extra milk for the much needed coffee when we arrived.

United KingdomThe breakfast was absolutely awful, we were so glad we hadn't booked it for every morning. (We had paid for one morning on arrival to try it) My advice is book the hotel to stay but go to the local cafe's for breakfast. There were 2 of us staying in the room yet on arrival and each time the room was cleaned we were only given 1 bath towel, we had to call reception on 2 occasions to get a 2nd towel. This isn't a big issue but it was a bit strange that 2 bath towels weren't provided as standard.
The location was excellent, within walking distance of the train and many restaurants. The bed was comfortable and although the bathroom was dated everything seemed to be maintained well. The staff were friendly and quick to bring towels, milk, tea etc to the room on request.

United KingdomI requested a quiet room and was allocated one near the lift and the door at the end of the corridor. It could’ve been worse, but there was still the noise of the corridor door opening and closing. The car park doesn’t have many spaces and is first come first served. There was no problem parking at the time, but on other busier occasions it may be problematic. I don’t know if there is alternative parking nearby.
It was better than basic and clean. The decor in the bathroom was dated, but nonetheless everything in the bathroom was clean including the towels and bath mats. The breakfast was sufficient and tasty, on the second morning I was asked if I wanted scrambled eggs (not the first morning). And the scrambled eggs were very tasty. There were many breakfast items to suit different types. A good central location next to Watford market and 5 minutes walk from other shopping and office locations. All the staff were polite and greeted guests with a smile and a ‘Good morning’/ ‘Good afternoon’. On my first evening, the person on reception provided a clear explanation of how to get to the hotel’s car park; it’s not obvious.

United Kingdomnightmare to find, website says parking available but doesn't say it's impossible to find and stopping to unload is impossible. the corridors have carpet rucked up to make a trip hazard oin many places, and curtains don't block light so it's hard to sleep in winter if you dont have a mask. public car park is only a short walk (but *very* long drive!) but I didnt feel very comfortable, it's in a dingy street, and to walk to the pay point you have to walk down a street with no footway
staff friendly, comfortabe room, hotel gave me voucher reducing multi storey parking from £10 for 24 hours to £4, comfortable bar area to sit and chat with friends.

United KingdomBathroom was a little dated. we decided to go for the breakfast, at £13.50ea I don't think it was particularly good value.
We booked the hotel as it was close to the Place Theater. The room was comfortable, the bed was big. We managed to get onsite parking. The hotel is very close to the city center (~5 walk)
