Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe pillows were not that comfortable but thats it!
Fantastic room, great bar, great location and the staff were absolutely lovely. We thought the room was a great size and it was one of the best showers we've had a hotel before.

United KingdomRoom and shared spaces all very darkly lit. Struggled to read menu at breakfast. Our room overlooked a back alley with bins and some offices - so care required when changing. £22 for breakfast was pretty expensive in a part of town where no other options close by.
Comfy bed. Good sized room. Nice bathroom.

United KingdomI really can't think of anything!
The location was perfect, right in the city centre with easy parking close by. The attention to detail in the hotel is exceptional, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the bed was by far the comfiest I've ever slept on. We will definitely stay here again, and look at Dakota hotels when visiting other cities too.

The ladies on reception both in the evening and morning were absolutely lovely. Really welcoming, warm and friendly and very helpful with directions. The place was spotless, and the lady cleaning in the morning was really bright and friendly too. The room was really comfortable and well thought out, was nice to have a hot choc sachet as well as tea and coffee, and the toiletries smelled great too.

United KingdomThe bar staff where amazing and set the bar high for attentiveness and were very professional. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the server in the grill. The woman who served us made us feel a little uncomfortable. Almost that we were a bother being there. I'm not entirely sure what the issue was but it was definitely noticed. I understand it was quite late and maybe the end of her shift so maybe tiredness was involved. There was definitely a noticeable difference between the service though.
The staff at Jack's bar were amazing and we were made to feel well looked after. Cocktails were great. The reception staff lovely too. Room was nice, decor simple but elegant. no noise from other guests. Would definitely stay again.

United Arab EmiratesThere was nothing we didn't like. Perhaps it would have been good if there had been some SPA facilities - even a room or two so that my wfe could have enjoyed a nice massage or facial.
The Hotel as a whole had an excellent vibe - more like a boutique hotel than your normal hotels. Plus the reception staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful. Loved the curly DOG at receotion.
