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 KingdomThe pool facility in the smelly basement was in a very deteriorated condition and there seemed to be no cleaners allocated for the shared unisex changing / shower area as it was VERY grime. Breakfast was of low quality and assisted (not served..!) by random casually dressed people who did not appear to have any relevant competency skills.
Some lovely features in the building design

United KingdomThe room we had this time was on a corridor where there was ongoing painting. This meant it was a little noisy in the day, and all you could smell was paint.
Always enjoy staying at Hunton Park staff. Always friendly rooms. Always clean. The grounds are beautiful

United KingdomThe only slight downside was the lighting; it was either on, in which case it was too bright, or off. There wasn’t the option to have the lights dimmed or partially on. Although there was air conditioning, I could not manage to get comfortable since the room was quite stuffy in the night. Lastly, the staff at the desk need to be more welcoming. They barely give you their attention when checking in and leaving - a minor point but an important one nonetheless.
The hotel is set in wonderful surroundings and set back from the road. They were in the process of refreshing the paintwork throughout the corridors, which was a positive sign and not at all inconvenient. The room was small but contained all the necessary comforts and more besides - we had a portable ironing board and iron stored in the wardrobe which was a nice bonus. The bathroom, although tight for space, was very clean and modern. Overall very good. Breakfast was okay. It is perfectly located for trips into London and the Warner Bros. studio tour for Harry Potter fans.

United KingdomPoor signposting. Finding my room was difficult given the lack of direction. Huntsman bar wasn't open when it said it should be. Very little information in the hotel regarding things to do in and around the hotel. Breakfast was poor.
Staff were great. Location is great, local amenities were easy to find and the location was nice.

United KingdomOn arrival, the receptionist did not attempt to engage in any conversation. LIterally took our name and gave us our room keys. No chat, no smiles etc. Very unwelcoming. One of our rooms (24) had a broken toilet flush and the bracket for the hand held shower was also broken. The bed light on the window side did not work. The beds in both our rooms (24 and 26) were incredibly soft. Both doors at the bottom to the bathroom were heavily water damaged from the shower. In the bar, the background music was dull (think Ceefax if you're old enough to remember). It was also very cold as lots of windows were open. Lacked any atmosphere. It was generally cold in all the public areas. The breakfast was average - hardly any fruit and a lot of the pastries were rock hard. The hot food was luke warm and not particularly nice. Lady taking room numbers was unengaging and "can I grab your room number?" could do with a bit of variation day to day. The picture on the website of the beautiful house is very misleading. It is like an unatmospheric conference hotel with lots of modern add on extensions. The walkway from the main building to the bedrooms is like going to get on a plane. It all just needs an injection of warmth both in decor and in staff.
We ate at the bar and the food was very nice. Would recommend the grilled steak baguette or rib -eye steak althogu the latter was pricey. Pizza got thumbs up from son. The bar staff were also super friendly (the only ones in the hotel!). It was very convenient for WB studios. We also did a short day trip to London and it was very close to both Watford Junction and King's Langley station (20 mins on fast train). Also very close to M25/M1

United KingdomThe pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. The hairdryer didn't work. The prices for wine and beer at the bar were very high. The restaurant menu could have been a lot better. Didn't have dinner at the hotel as the menu wasn't great and the prices were very high. Went out to a pub to eat.
The breakfast was very good with lots of choice. I had the cooked breakfast which was hot and well presented. Good quality bacon and sausages.
