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 KingdomNo lift, but plenty of stairs and steps to negotiate before arriving at room. No offer to take luggage to room. Had choice been given I would have chosen a room with a better view.
Courteous and pleasant staff, helpful with our menu choices and wine selection. Good selection of drinks at the Bar. Check-out Receptionist very knowledgeable about the history of the building/hotel.

United KingdomThe duvet had too much tog. I was sweating a good deal and got up for a pee to come back to wet sheets which made it uncomfortable. I would recommend putting a lower tog duvet on the bed with a 'throw'. My wife did not enjoy her evening meal as the fish was very dry but the hotel gave us a refund which was very gracious.
Excellent location and mostly comfortable. The staff were very attentive and accommodating. Lovely dining room with an ideal view to the gardens.

United KingdomThere wasn’t a lift and 92 year old mother found the stairs difficult.
Beautiful property in a beautiful setting and the staff were friendly, polite and accommodating. We were given a free upgrade of room which made the stay extra special. Breakfast was very nice, tasty, hot, presented well and the produce was fresh and of high quality. Room attendant was polite and replenished the room with cold water, both still and sparkling. She also bought mother a fresh cup of coffee which was a lovely gesture.

United KingdomI don’t feel that there was anything I didn’t like
It was unique and fab to see an older house being shared so all can see the charm .. did you go for one of the larger rooms when you compare the price to other hotels it was well worth it. Room service was great and breakfast was lovely. I don’t think there was one thing I asked for stuff that was an issue.

United KingdomLeaving! I wish I could stay longer. I will return.
The staff were lovely, helpful, kind and were able to respond with everything I needed during my stay. Dovecliff is a hidden idle in a beautiful area near the Peaks. I hope it remains unspoilt and undiscovered! The breakfasts were perfect, in a really relaxing setting to start the day.
