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 KingdomFood and breakfast were definitely worse than a hotel of this level. Few options, no taste. Even though the presentations were beautiful, they were lost due to the coldness of the dishes.

United KingdomOnly minor “tweaks” No mirror in the room (27) for dressing/hair styling purposes The magnifying mirror in the bathroom was poorly located making it difficult to use. The toilet had a poor flush. The view from the side window of our room overlooked some generators/kitchen operation area- can’t be helped but a bit disappointing. Whilst we appreciate that this is a beautiful hotel in a stunning location- £290 is a lot to pay for a few hours in a room and breakfast but we know the prices are comparable to other similar hotels we stay in e.g Winander Club at Low Wood Bay, Langdale Hotel and Spa etc.
Beautiful location. The hotel is stunning. The special arrival with champagne was lovely as was the tour of the hotel with an interesting potted history given by our lovely host (sorry forgot the name) and the snack selection available on the landings/hallways was great- I hope in the months to come, these special extras that help to set the hotel apart from others, won’t disappear if the hotel is looking to tighten the profit margins. The mini cinema is another unique feature and whilst we didn’t use it, we certainly would do, visiting with family in the future. We enjoyed some ice cream in our room though with a movie on the TV! Couldn’t fault the staff- without exception they were genuinely friendly, chatty, attentive and warm.

United KingdomWe booked and the price was reduced by £150 per night the day after our free cancellation policy ended. I contacted the hotel and they let me cancel and rebook for the following night. It would have been very overpriced at the original price. Food wasn’t amazing and was over priced but the setting and service were very good. Small teething problems such as lamps don’t work. Also check your restaurant bill as extra drinks added on. Lack of communication for my cancellation refund / still not received any update apart from the phone call I had to make to request the £540 refund 4 days after cancelling. The hotel really encourage to book direct to avoid these issues .
View and location incredible. The interiors outstanding Loved the separate little living room in the rooms that overlooked the lake. The books were beautiful finishing touches. Bathroom was delightful
