Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 food prices were absolutely astronomical. In the time of a cost of living crisis I do not understand how anywhere can charge £16.95 a person for breakfast. Decided to go to McDonalds instead
The room was comfortable. TV was a bit small and the shower was weak but still a nice stay

United KingdomI like a flatter pillow. The chair in our room was stained. It would have been good to have a towelling dressing gown and slippers to wear to go to the pool.
The swimming pool with shower cubicles, hot showers and shampoo. The gluten free corner at breakfast and many gluten free items labelled on the breakfast menu (hot and cold). Comfortable bed. Good value for money. Convenient for motorway. Free car park.

United KingdomBreakfast service was poor. Although the hot and cold buffet food was of a reasonable standard, the staff were very slow to replenish dishes, juices and glasses. Tables were left with remains of food as staff just walked past or stood around chatting. Both coffee/tea machines had messages warning that they needed cleaned and emptied but staff simply switched off the messages. Bar staff were attentive and friendly and bar food was reasonable. Prices for glasses of wine were high even by hotel standards.
Room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds and excellent shower. Housekeeping staff were helpful and friendly. Location is excellent for travelling around Somerset and devon.

United KingdomWe were told they stopped serving food at 9pm. We were given a menu 8:50pm. Chose quickly and went to order within a couple of minutes to be told that kitchen was ‘closing’ so only pizza and nachos available. You either serve food until 9pm or you don’t. Staff were rude and dismissive. We ate elsewhere.
Provided what was needed as a break to our journey - clean and acceptably comfortable in all areas except for our experience with bar/restaurant staff regarding food.
