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 KingdomThat I had to leave!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it!!!
We visited The Wishful Thinker to celebrate my friend's son's birthday after visiting Leeds castle. We were met by a wonderful and cheerful manager who was welcoming, communicative and extremely friendly. She informed us about the hotel facilities and other activities inside and outside the hotel. The staff were lovely and the meal and breakfast was awesome!! Could not fault the hospitality!!

AustraliaThe room lacked anywhere to put bags. A couple of suitcase racks would have been useful to save scrabbling about on the floor. We found the room very warm even with the window open all the time, especially at night which affected our sleep. No aircon or fan available. Room doors could do with a soft close. Very noisy if left to close by themselves. The water in the shower was very hot with no way of cooling it down. I struggled to shower in it. Some towel hooks near the shower would be handy too. Visitors need a car as the hotel is located down long, windy country lanes. Live music on Saturday which no one mentioned. It was very loud and our room was rocking! Perfect if you enjoy a live show whilst eating or sleeping. The band was very good though. Just not for us.
Recently refurbished hotel, sandwiched between the M20 and the HS1 line. We found it fun to watch the trains and the sound did not disturb us. Beautiful, spacious rooms with contemporary decor, sleigh bed and coffee machine. Lovely large bathroom. Breakfast options excellent. Granola bowl huge. No way could I eat so much. Weekly specials for dining were a welcome sight. The restaurant is big and the food delicious. There are plenty of options for sitting/eating outdoors and a few quaint ‘sheds’ for small parties or families. For such a huge venue, we still found a couple of cosy places in the bar area to sit for a while. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Plenty of car parking on site. Lovely village of Lenham is not too far away. A couple of good pubs with food. We also ate at the Red Lion. Great!

United KingdomThe bathroom’s door has a window, therefore no privacy at the toilet . The prices are high for the food taste etc. Location is very secluded , can’t go anywhere by foot , unless you want to be hit by a car , no pavement . Thank God we had a car to travel.
The property is very beautifully decorated . Big TV screen and clean bathroom. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
