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.).

AustraliaCJ Cafe was closed due to renovations. Opening soon.
Gothic House is located in the town of East Grinstead and close to cafes and pubs. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable with a nice view of the church yard.

United KingdomSadly, this time there was a problem with the plumbing making really loud groaning noises all night which meant we got little sleep. Not sure if it’s been fixed but the staff were really apologetic and helpful. If this problem isn’t there anymore we will definitely stay again. I’d just check before booking.
I’ve stayed here before and the room is lovely, great location and friendly staff.

United KingdomThe bathroom blind doesn't draw all the way down and is overlooked by an outdoor seating area - we were advised it's due to be replaced and the seating area was unlikely to be occupied at this time of year so want an issue on this occasion.
Comfortable and warm on a chilly might! Staff very friendly and check in was swift. Perfect for an overnight stay and although Gothic House is centrally located on a busy road, this twin room is at the back of the property so is very quiet. Proper thick curtains also helped by minimising light entry.

United KingdomThere was a party downstairs on the Saturday night which was pretty loud. Fortunately the room we were in was at the back, so the noise was bareable. Could imagine it would have been v loud for rooms directly above the bar. Sadly no shower gel, shampoo or soap, luckily we had brought our own.
Fantastic location, right in the heart of East Grinstead. Really cool to look over the church and listen to the bells on the Sunday morning. Lovely cute room with comfy bed. Loved the styling. Didn't stay for breakfast as the staff looked very tired as there had been a party in the public bar downstairs.

United KingdomI mentioned a cleaning issue that was immediately addressed in a most positive way. The only thing I would prefer is a pocket sprung mattress. Apart from that, Gothic House is a unique place, so nice to be somewhere different, with charm.
Beautiful room overlooking trees. Lovely characterful furniture, beautiful old house. Lovely staff, really superb, helpful. Heating on all the time if needed. Good shower.

United KingdomBreakfast only started at 10am so I ate breakfast away from the hotel. If you needed something in the early mornings, it was difficult to find anyone. Shower was good but the entrance to it is quite narrow, despite having sliding doors.
The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and keen to help.

ThailandLocation is a bit far from the train station, so if you have to carry a lot of stuff then may be it is a better idea to call a cab instead.
The room we spent the night was not small. It was almost the same size as the bathroom, which was quite large. Love the cozy bed and the big vintage bathtub and the overall decor they had going on. The broken hangers and the makeshift wire hanging in the wardrobe were a little bit disappointing, so hope they will get that fixed soon.
