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 KingdomFaultless! I would challenge anyone to try to find anything that is not to like about this venue.
There are many lovely hotels. In this hotel the attention to detail from the grounds to the building to the decor is exceptional. Above all, the staff could not have been more amenable. It is not just a hotel, it has heart and soul!!!

United KingdomWhat would have been the walled garden has been turned into a car park. Although an amazing setting, the gardens have the potential to be much better.

United StatesBar closes very early - asked to finish our drink in the lobby at 10:30pm as they needed to set up for breakfast. Needed to call front desk after 10pm and was met with answering machine as they don’t have 24hr skeleton staff. In the bar would prefer option to have just one course and not pricing for 2 courses.
Beautiful building with nice grounds. Very large bedroom and bathroom. Appreciated the complimentary glass of champagne on arrival

United KingdomThere was no hot water before dinner, but otherwise perfect.
Staff were amazing. So friendly and amusing but also 100% professional. Our waiter Robert was a highlight of the stay, he had us in stitches. Food in the restaurant was incredible, one of the best meals I’ve ever had with great (and interesting) wine choice. Room was clean and comfortable. Love the fact the hotel is run on hydro power! Amazing location.

United StatesThe local area is beautiful, and the hall and grounds were gorgeous, too. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. The food was excellent, and worth the stay alone. The 6 EV car chargers were a fantastic bonus too which meant the rural location did not hamper any further travel or exploration.
