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.).

We liked the reception personnel, the concierge on day one was very unhelpful and seemingly dismissive of our "strangers" request for advice and assistance.

United KingdomVery limited parking available and quite expensive, only Valet parking. Our car stayed on premises, which was very convenient and felt safe. However, other cars would need to be taken to another parking area, which feels in a big city like Manchester not that safe. There was sometimes a “howling” loud noise in the room for a few seconds also early in the morning and late at night, which wasn’t too bad, but still a little nuisance. We couldn’t identify the root cause, but it also wasn’t sufficient to ask for a room change.
Modern and stylish, central location and still quiet. Friendly staff and good food. The King beds are very comfy, but swinging a lot when your partner is moving during the night. It was very clean and the room is well equipped including a number of Sky channels.

United KingdomThere was some building work happening near by which happened overnight. This was out of the hotels control so don't blame them at all so I didn't mention it but it was rather disruptive throughout the night time and I kept waking up because of it but the room I had was a corner room so was exposed to the sounds of the city. Worth being mindful of but like I said, the hotel aren't to blame for things outside their control.
Absolutely exceptional experience at Dakota, Manchester. Concierge & reception team were lovely, the room was amazing, so big and an amazing bath. Staff couldn't do enough and it was the best hotel fry up breakfast I've ever had. Super comfy and huge bed too! I didn't want to leave!

United KingdomRoom was not ready at time stated (but as we were an hour late to check in we only had to wait ten minutes for the room). Key card did not work initially and needed amending. Only small issues really- did not take away from the overall experience.
We liked the food. We had a complimentary drink for the room being late. The valet was helpful and we liked the free mints/scent/water. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Great view of the canal. Lovely interior design in the room.

United KingdomThe central heating was overly warm and not very quickly responsive to adjustments. An opening window would have been welcome.
Quiet location within easy walking distance of city centre and great view of and access to canal (which we used to walk to and from the Co-Op stadium). Very welcoming staff. Pleasant decor with moody vibe. Nice outdoor terrace. Very good king room with everything we could have wanted (it’s unusual to be completely happy with first glimpse of room). Well designed amenities including spacious bathroom with separate shower and bath.
