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 KingdomThere could do with more info in the room about what’s on offer and a map of where to find things. The shower in the room needs to be deep cleaned as it had a a fair bit of lime scale. There were no robes available the pool when we needed them. Just a few small things to make it perfect!
The property and grounds are stunning! There’s lots of things to do and the rooms are comfortable. It was a really relaxing stay, we didn’t feel rushed. The Library barman and the lady managing the breakfast were exceptionally lovely.

United KingdomBathroom mirror not made for people under 5’ ! Other mirrors were available in the room, so not a huge problem, but a slightly lower mirror would be good! Also, a hook on back of entry door to hang coat! Other than that, brilliant!
Very good breakfast and dinner. Lovely clean rooms, lovely view, very pleasant stay. Also a lovely indoor pool and jacuzzi!

United KingdomWe stayed on quite a cold weekend. It is winter afterall. Unfortunately the room (being very large with very high ceilings) was 'fresh' to say the least. One tiny freestanding radiator and heating that didn't really work. I rang down for a couple of extra blankets and two horse blankets arrived!!! Luckily, we both have a sense of humour. That said, what was meant to be a romantic birthday present for my husband was not.
Breakfast and food generally very good. Service very good. Room enormous. Grounds lovely.

United KingdomA Tesla supercharger to replace the Tesla "domestic" charger perhaps? It is hard to improve upon something that has worked so well for centuries, because the fabric of the building and its bucolic setting have endured for good reason.
Tranquility, traditional values from everyone we encountered: it could all too easily become home from home.

United KingdomOnly down side was we were unable to figure out how to turn on the shower and it was extremely stiff to turn but we had left it not long before checking out to try and shower so didn't really have time to wait for staff to come help so we didn't ask.
Really beautiful venue, attended for a wedding so we decided to book a room to stay. Room was lovely, bed was really comfy. Fan was supplied due to heat wave without us asking. All of the staff provided exceptional customer service. Food was beautiful. I wish we had enough time to use the spa facilities but unfortunately we were unable to.
