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 KingdomI was unsettled & aware of the low hum of traffic noise, but that may be because we live in a very quiet spot. There wasn’t a lift to the bedroom storey, but I managed the stairs despite some arthritic problems. It would have helped to have known the ‘last orders’ time for breakfast. There was no notice of this in the bedroom, & we missed the cooked breakfast as a result.
That it was in a pleasant position despite being so close to the motorway. The room was massive & it had a walk in shower as well as a bath. The reception staff were extremely helpful.

United KingdomI'm not sure how efficient the ingredients inventory management is for the restaurant; there were many items unavailable at dinner however what we ate was fine. At breakfast there was an item on a cooked breakfast that was unavailable but we were not advised of this beforehand and, surprisingly, no alternative was offered.
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is comfortable and as a 1 night stopover it was in a great location for onward travel.

United KingdomThe first room we were given had a very strong cigarette smell, especially in the bathroom. The second room was fine but smelled damp as did the corridors.
Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely foyer area and restaurant. We were given another room straightaway as the first one had had someone smoking in it.

United KingdomWe had some problems with the room. One of the bedside lights did not work and neither did the temperature control in the shower - it was just too warm all the time. We ate an evening meal in the restaurant and several of the dishes on the menu were not available - we ordered the lasagne and when it arrived it was cold in the middle and the cheese on the top wasn’t browned. The waiter took mint back to the kitchen and replacements were cooked. This meant that we waited a long time for our meal - so long that the head waiter came to ask if we’d been offered coffee or the desert menu before the main had arrived!
The hotel is very convenient for the motorway and is quiet and normally has comfortable rooms and helpful staff. Our room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast is very good with nice coffee.

United KingdomThe hotel is dated and needs some TLC. The wc in our en suite had a notice asking for the handle to be pumped to enable the flush. This worked only occasionally and we resorted to pouring kettles of water to clear the bowl. We reported this to the staff but nothing improved. The radiator in the room had tea/coffee stains but this was cleaned immediately we made a complaint. We arrived after breakfast had finished on our second morning - Monday - as when we asked at reception for the time of breakfast we were told the time for Sunday and were not warned that breakfast finished one hour earlier during the week. Neither were we told the code for exiting the car park barrier. The notice at reception with this information was not on display when we checked in - this notice also displayed the breakfast times. An information booklet containing these details would be helpful in each room, plus a reminder about fire exits and the telephone number for contacting reception from the bedroom phone. The proximity of the motorway meant that the ground floor terrace was very noisy but the double glazing etc meant that inside the hotel, in the lounge, dining room or bedroom, we were not disturbed by the traffic noise.
Buffet breakfast was plentiful and cooked well and laid out well. good choice of continental breakfast items and full (English) breakfast. Despite arriving aftert breakfast sitting had finished one day, the restauarant staff were welcoming and made a special effort to make tea for us - food was still available on the buffet although just the left overs! Our third floor twin bedroom had one double and one single bed. The room was spacious and had room for an armchair and a desk and chair and the beds were comfortable with white linen sheets and pillowcases. There is a lift available The hotel is a couple of minutes drive from the motorway and our room had a wonderful view across the River Ribble. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We asked for a late checkout and this was free of charge ,which is not often the case in other hotels. Plentry of free parking. A good sized lounge and dining room. We enjoyed tea and cake in the comfortable lounge in the afternoon and spotted a heron catching it's afternoon tea from the river.We did not eat dinner there but the menu offered a good choice at reasonable hotel prices. A welcome extra was a machine dispensing cold ,still and sparkling, water available free of charge on each floor. We would be happy to stay again if we were promised that the plumbing had been fixed!
