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 KingdomA little hard to find (the signs are small), and the parking garage can't be accessed without a fob from reception, with very limited (and not free) street parking nearby.
Lovely hotel with extremely friendly, helpful staff. Quiet (I was there mid-week, might be different at weekends), pleasant location, good breakfast options, nice room. Very handy for Clifton Village.

United KingdomThe hotel is in need of a makeover, but for the price it's acceptable, although we stayed on a Sunday. I'm not sure the room would be worth the price of a Saturday night stay.
Staff are all lovely. Hotel is in a good location for Clifton and Bristol City centre.

United KingdomThe bathroom could have done with a bit of upgrade as the skirting board had flake of paint coming off and the back of the bathroom door had cracks. The light above the sink did not work. Separately, while the bed seems absolutely clean, the sheet had a couple of faint yellow stains. I did not say anything on the night as I came back late. It would be helpful to make 2 things clear for first time visitors: 1. The hotel name is displayed as cafe and not Hotel Clifton from the road; second that the parking is on first come first serve and that you have to pay for It (I may have missed that information but it was unclear to me when I booked).
Perfect location; very comfortable bed; excellent to have snacks and hot drinks in the room; The staff was really helpful

United KingdomThin wall meant I could hear the guy next door on the phone to his girlfriend/wife and that was a bit graphic. Shower was 2ft sq so hardly any room to move in it. Parking tricky to find though actually quite close. Breakfast on weekend started too late.

United KingdomThe room was far too hot and the window couldn't be opened. The double bed was the smallest one I have ever seen. We had to get up in the early hours to take the quilt out of the cover, as it was too hot.
Good service in the hotel and the restaurant downstairs. Good facilities in the room.

United KingdomIt is an old building, there were little TLC points in the room, there was a leak in the shower. There was no air conditioning, it was a very hot day, had the windows open, we were on the 3rd floor so no noice. Something to be mindful of when booking during hot weather. They did however provide a fan.
The pub downstairs was really nice, had a Sunday road which was very good. staff were great.
