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 KingdomLooking and feeling very tired. Rooms corridors, main entrance need a refresh. Menu very basic, limited, pricey, No salad ?. So overall poor in comparison to like for like price wise. I chose because of location thinking it would be nice but disappointing. Chilworth manor and other hotels around but far superior in quality.
Lovely setting and would of been lovely 25odd years ago when built.

United KingdomSadly we looked at the photographs of the swimming pool with jacuzzi but the jacuzzi is no longer there. It has been removed and is now a concrete block. There was insufficient seating around the pool and I feel steps leading down into the water would be an asset for older people instead of just ladders. I also think judging by the scum around the walls of the pool, the pool cleaner needs to do a better job. Finally I feel some more comfortable sink in chairs would be a benefit in the bar area ,the upright club style ones don't suit everyone.
Excellent breakfast lovely clean surroundings in a quiet and quirky location. We also stayed for an evening meal which was also very good. All the staff are friendly and helpful .Free car parking and wi fi was also a bonus and massive room. lets not forget the price £60 for 2 persons B & B ?? its a no brainer really.

United KingdomNot a dislike - it would be great to have a hair dryer in the room however not an issue. Photos online showing the pool show a jacuzzi which is no longer there, would be good to show photos on the website. The changing areas were cold especially for a baby so some heating in those would help as a big change getting out a lovely heated pool.
The location is surrounded by beautiful forestry and is lovely and peaceful, sliding doors in the room allowed us to open them in the morning/evening and listen with some fresh air. The room was a great size for our family and having a little living room area was perfect in the evening with a baby asleep. Having a swimming pool and restaurant on site made for ease on the first evening, would be lovely to have a few more options but what we ate was nice. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, greeting us every time they or we went past and very helpful when needed.

United KingdomThe rooms were too hot - because the doors led out to a shared balcony / walk way it wasn't very private to have the door open to let air in and also couldn't have the doors open at night. Would have been better to have a window to open. Also would have been nice to have swimming times for the pool e.g. when kids wouldn't be in there.
The breakfast was nice - it was also good that it went on until 10.30am. The hotel surroundings are nice and peaceful.
