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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomHaving to pay for parking was annoying. The room looked tired. Items (eg TV and mirror) had been moved but the gaps behind them not painted. Definitely time for renovation and upgrading.
Comfortable beds. Very close to Merry Hill shopping centre and the Black Country museum. Great breakfast. When we complained about loud noise the adjoining room at 3am in the morning the staff acted immediately and the noise stopped.

United KingdomWould have liked to have a herbal tea in the tea selection. Only real thing to be aware of is that the bars the other side of the canal do play music very late. (It was still going around 1am when I fell asleep - although this was a weekend so maybe it was especially late.) Luckily the soundproofing is quite good, so with the windows shut it wasn't too loud. Definitely still audible though - it didn't bother me too much and I enjoyed having the view of a bit of the canal, but light sleepers might prefer to request a room on the other side.
Comfy bed, clean room and friendly staff. I enjoyed using the pool/sauna facilities. Everything is quite small in the leisure facilities but it wasn't too crowded even on a weekend and they provide towels/locks for the lockers so it was a nice experience. The location is probably easier to access by car, as it's about an hour's bus ride from either Birmingham or Wolverhampton. (Only a few minutes walk from the bus stop though.) That said, there is lots of interest directly in the area! The hotel backs on to the canal, where there are also bars etc. On the other side, it's just across a couple of roads and a few minutes walk to a big shopping centre where one can get virtually everything needed. And, the nicest surprise, just beyond the shopping centre is a big nature reserve, with woods, bluebells etc which was really nice to explore and all walking distance from the hotel. Lots of history too from the canal/mining days!

United KingdomThe hotel is under going well needed restoration. It does need decorating in parts.
We stayed here as we were getting married in Stourbridge. The staff were lovely. We had requested co joining rooms for us as we are a family of four. They upgraded our room to the executive suite with the co joining room. Which totally exceeded our expectations and made our weekend even more special. Thank you so much.

United KingdomFewer points only for the staff because we were charged twice for parking, even though it didn’t happen the first time. It seems the charges depend on their mood and who they’re serving—some guests are charged, others are not. A couple next to us booked the exact same thing through Booking.com, and I overheard the other receptionist telling them, “Don’t worry about parking charges.” But when we asked, we were told there would be a fee. People like that should not be working at the reception. Some of them gave off an unwelcoming vibe—maybe they should wear different colored uniforms to reflect their roles or attitudes.
Location and hotel is beautiful .
