Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomRoom was quite dark, even with lights on. View from our room no. 60 wasn’t pretty! Back of buildings and a couple of ladders but to be honest it didn’t bother us as out most of the day. Driveway and stairs steep, which we struggled with. No lift. Glad it wasn’t raining as have to cross busy road to other building for breakfast and to check in. Parking very limited and if have to stay in public carpark nearby it is quite expensive.
Stayed in Lakehouse. Room well furnished and modern. Very clean. Tea/coffee/biscuits/cups/glasses/iron and ironing board/soap/shower gel dispensers/plenty of towels all provided.

United KingdomI really don't have a negative comment. Everything was delightful and relaxing.
It was the service from the staff that stood out. They could not have been more welcoming, pleasant and helpful. You certainly feel you are getting a very personal service. Special shout out to Connor who helped sort out parking for me because it was very busy. My room was immaculate. Beautifully presented and kitted out with everything I could possibly need and very quiet. Loved staying here. Highly recommended.

United KingdomHotel is at the top of a hill and the pub where you have to check in and go for breakfast is at the bottom of the hill beyond a road. You have to walk down to the pub and go to the bar to check in which was a bit odd and the steps from the hotel lead directly into the main road so feels a bit dangerous.
Has everything you need. Bed was comfy and the room was really quiet so made for a good nights sleep! The breakfast selection was great too and is included in the price

United KingdomThe only slight issue was the fact that the rooms were separate to where breakfast was served, it was CHUCKING IT DOWN. But if the weather was nice you wouldn't have any issues. I do believe that if you are paying for breakfast in your night stay I think you should get a "proper" coffee with it, not have to pay extra.
Loved the room, spacious and ground floor, door straight outside which was perfect for the dog! The staff were super friendly and all loved the dogs. Food was great, even running out to grab me some gluten free bread.
