Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Good location for Blenheim palace. Restaurant was nice and very accommodating although a bit pricy but in keeping with the area. Parking was good.

United KingdomNothing to add here. It was just brilliant.
I liked everything about the bar and hotel. The staff were lovely, the location is beautiful with lots of country walks at their doorstep. The vegan options were so very tasty. The room was very comfortable and clean. We just enjoyed everything about our stay.

United KingdomMy friend complained about the noise from the room above- also towels had not been supplied. The radiator heating system seems complicated and in my case didn't work on the 2nd (cold) night as it decided to go into non-response mode after midnight- too late to call reception.
Breakfast was fine- the downstairs room I requested was ideal- close to the car park and reception.

United KingdomA day or two before staying, we asked whether there was anywhere to charge up our car but didn’t receive an answer. In the end we had to use a petrol car. Poor communication is not acceptable and this meant we couldn’t give top marks. On arrival there was no one at the reception desk so a bell would have been useful to alert the member of staff who was doing a different job & didn’t know we had arrived.
It was clean, room spacious, plenty of parking & everything we needed for an overnight stay.

United KingdomEverything was excellent, despite the room being in a separate annexe requiring coats and umbrellas!
A friendly, polite and professional team run this excellent inn. When we arrived, we were delighted with the building, the decor and the layout, which was quaint with a modern touch. Our interaction with the staff was always positive. We were very pleased with our corner room which was enormous! The bed was large and very comfortable. We liked the look of the menu which offered British and Indian dishes so we stayed here for our evening meal, and were not disappointed! The Indian food was first class. Breakfast was really good, the smoked salmon was delicious. Using the outside areas must be fabulous in summer !

Stunning building. Friendly and efficient service in bar. Good, well kept pint of Black Sheep. Prompt service of bar food. Breakfast cheap. Bedroom clean, comfortable and spacious ( way more than the 7m2 quoted on website).
