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’s nothing I didn’t like about the property, aside from the fact that old coaching inns seem a bit ghostly due to the absence of horses.
I like to stay in old buildings, pubs and hotels. This is usually a bit of a a lucky dip; sometimes good, sometimes shambolic, nearly always dilapidated and in need of some investment, both in the property and staff selection and training. Not here- this is a wonderful property which has been brilliantly restored.

United KingdomIt was perfect!
Where do I start amazing we were overwhelmed & so excited on arrival to be given the Agatha Christie room we felt like royalty! Beautiful & unexpected. The staff were great nothing too much trouble they were enthusiastic & even had a little time for a chat. The food at breakfast & our evening meal were beautiful cooked & tasted amazing! Such good value & good size portions had to share mine! Gordon the general manager shared lots of history of the building which was fascinating. He was extremely helpful & happy to help us. Elise our waitress was so sweet & chatty it made a huge difference to talk to two members of staff like real people who obviously love their jobs & care about what they do. Thank you both very much. We would highly recommend this hotel stunning! & The garden are beautiful too lots of little quirky areas to enjoy loved it we will be back THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Well done

The bedroom was well equipped and cosy with a very clean and good sized shower room. The staff were very friendly and polite. There was plenty of parking space in nicely kept grounds The cooked breakfast choice was good and of a decent size! A variety of places to sit in with a small snug ideal for playing games, which were provided

The property had character, but was also furnished to a very high standard. We loved the themed rooms, ours was Sterling Moss and our friend’s Mid summer murders.

United KingdomThe staff were slow, focussed on the wrong things and service was not the greatest, especially at breakfast. No one to greet you and tell you how it worked, where you could sit or where the continental breakfast was placed.
The George is a lovely hotel in a beautiful part of the English countryside. The room was spacious and the food excellent.

United KingdomBreakfast was delicious but we did have to wait 30mins to have our orders taken and before we got coffee/teas. Some team members were more on it than others, but we did get a bit hangry as it took nearly an hour before we got our food. However we appreciate it might be a lot for only two staff members to serve breakfast and manage the counter/bar as well.
Beautiful rooms and amenities. Very comfortable and large bed and little touches like the sleep spray, radio and nesspresso made it feel super luxurious. Love that the rooms are themed as well, it’s very unique and fun.
