How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The one member of staff chaperoning breakfast service was run ragged. We waited 15 mins before being invited to find a table whilst she topped up hot food from the kitchen Meanwhile, several members of a party of guests from a wedding reception held the previous evening just 'did their own thing' ignored our 'queue' and helped themselves without being signed in. Excellent otherwise and would stay again if needed accommodation in the vicinity of Stockport.
Price., Cleanliness of room. Copious amounts of hot water. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Ample parking.

A lovely atmosphere as soon as you enter the hotel. Communal areas were spotlessly clean. Clean, bright, spacious room with comfy bed. There was a fan which was a godsend with the hot weather & windows that opened both in the bathroom & bedroom. Friendly staff. Will definitely return when visiting relatives again.

Smoking area in front of the building was an eyesore & smelly. It was a sunny day and we attempted to sit out as a few tables & chairs were there. Driven inside to escape the smoke, this anti social behaviour needs to be moved from the front of the building.
Clean and tidy. A fairly dated hotel but well maintained. Good selection of food on the breakfast buffet. Pleasant staff.

Reception didn’t answer, yes it could have been diverted to a mobile phone. Maybe an idea for future. Breakfast could have had some ham and cheese available.
Breakfast was complimentary due to a couple of faults in my room which was really appreciated.

THe service & food were excellent. Unfortunately, one of the chefs had an accident so they were unable to provide an Evening meal. This was not really a problem as there are nuerous eating places around there.

Unfortunately there was an event, so Kitchen was closed in the evening. However staff provided plates and cutlery to allow me to eat a takeaway in the bar area.
Staff were lovely. Breakfast was good and being a buffet plenty of it. Location was great for me as I am reliant on public transport, 192 bus stops outside and runs every 10 minutes.

Nothing. You could argue some of the decor and layout is old fashioned, but there is nothing wrong with that at the end of the day.
Very pleasant hotel with plenty of character. Property is a bit of an oldie, but still very much a goldie. Very obliging and welcoming staff. In the heart of Stockport which has plenty to do and see, but Manchester City Centre is only 20 mins away on bus. Ideally located for the Town, Manchester City and Manchester Airport

T.v. did not work - stations appeared scrambled and then 'no signal' appeared. No heating in bathroom which was chilly, and shower could have been hotter. Although fairly warned of music due to event which was not a problem, was woken at 1am and 2.30am by loud talking outside the room.
Clean and comfortable with all facilities. Good WiFi. Friendly and helpful receptionist. On main road with frequent bus route a mile from centre of Stockport. Tea and coffee provided in room.
