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 KingdomWe had to catch a 04:45 coach so went to bed early. Close to the hostel must have been some kind of night club. As it was a lovely warm evening there was a lot of music and chatter from that until 02:00 even though we were there mid week.
We were catching an early morning National Express coach to Luton airport. Igloo is a 5 min walk to the bus station. It is close to the town square and Whetherspoons. The staff are lovely and we liked the themed rooms. Has a lovely vibe and felt safe. We put our packed lunch in the kitchen fridge which felt friendly and people were chatting and preparing meals.

United KingdomThe private bathroom facilities were a little way from the room - down a flight of stairs.
Very friendly helpful staff. Great location in the heart of the city - excellent value for money! All essentials - comfy bed, clean spacious room, nice shower were provided.

United KingdomBeing deep in the City (and associated noises) would not be everyones ideal accomodation but too be honest, while it's noticeable it didn't seem to bother us loads. We slept well for example.
Our room was exactly what we paid for. Cheap but super cute, clean and comfy. The staff were all really helpful, knowledgeable and generally friendly. Free tea and coffee to boot!

A very warm welcome on arrival and helpful information. Room was very clean - it was also very warm and a fan had been provided which we didn't actually need but was very thoughtful.

United KingdomNot much - bed / mattress suffered some ‘roll together’ but not a major problem.
Location is superb - right in the centre of Nottingham, 2 mins to the market square, 5 mins walk to Rock City. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful but unobtrusive- which is a plus for me. Rooms were basic but cheerful, everything you need but not luxurious. Bathroom was small but functional and water was piping hot. Price was exceptionally good.

We love this little place, the location is perfect for us, staff are always friendly and helpful. Rooms are small but if all you need is a bed for the night. For the price, it's great!

United KingdomThere were no drawers or shelves! Kept most of my clothes on the table because there were only three wall hooks for hanging coats and shirts. Bierkeller is noisy during the nights at the end of the week.
Spent four nights in The Boat ensuite double room as a single traveller. Room was clean with hot shower. Staff were polite and helpful. The communal kitchen seemed organized and hygienic. Strong WiFi available on the ground floor. Freeview TV with strong signal.
