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...).

United KingdomThe lighting in the dining room was not good for anybody with impaired vision. There was a small lamp on each table. I asked for another lamp to be supplied and the waiter very kindly provided one which helped me to see what was on my plate.
Everything was very good

United KingdomOur experienced was soured by the loud music that was playing throughout the night, we came to this hotel to relax as it was our first child free weekend since the birth of our first son last year. Had we have known there was going to be an event on, we’d have booked for another weekend instead; we came here to relax and enjoy a well earned rest but found that we didn’t sleep much at all due to the noise.
The staff were friendly and the facilities were all very impressive, we were pleasantly surprised with the size of the room and we felt we got value for money with the room itself.

United KingdomThe Spa area had a lovely feel on entering it & the staff seemed very friendly. There were a few areas that need addressing, the floor in the ladies changing rooms was dirty & VERY slippery ( i did let staff know & they went to sort it). The floor around pool area was clean but VERY slippery & made me quite anxious, i’m assuming this is an issue & probably a common concern . Every poolside lounger was taken by towels being placed on them, even though people weren’t using them as they were swimming or using the Sauna/Steam/jacuzzi. There was nowhere for me to put my towel, definitely need some hooks & some more seating providing. As a resident at the hotel i expected to be given a robe to use but only given 1 towel. I did enjoy my swim, the pool was a great temperature & a good length.
Great location, lovely room, very quiet, helpful friendly staff. Great breakfast selection.

United KingdomThe only part of the stay which really did impact and can be commented on is the heat in the rooms. We were provided with a fab, however it was still extremely hot with no air con. This made it hard to sleep at all on our nights visit.
I cannot fault the hotel or stay.

United KingdomThe child swim time was 7-9am and 5-7pm. I have a teenager and the 5-7pm was the best time for us to swim. We chose the hotel because of this facility. When we arrived at the pool we had to queue and ended up getting in the pool at 6.35pm. We were not offered an extension and when it is adult time the children have to leave but when it is children’s swim time adults stay in there who don’t have children and means there are too many people and we have to queue. It’s very disappointing that I paid extra for this but didn’t benefit from it. They care more about their day spa customers than their hotel guests.
The was very clean and in a good location

United KingdomRude reception staff, no robe available or slippers for the spa unless I booked in a more superior room. Ordered room service that didn’t arrive. Wasn’t given any clear directions and felt a bit lost at some points. Staff in the restaurant and spa were lovely and helpful but when asking reception for information, they were rude and unwilling to help. Made me feel uncomfortable and like they weren’t interested. For the price I paid and as a solo traveller, booking to use the hotel to have a relaxing time, I was made to feel rather uneasy and anxious by the reception staff.
Very comfortable bed, lovely room. Facilities were great too.

United KingdomCompletely honest review... Bit of a shame that parking is so expensive- £15 on top of the £155 we had paid for our room. We knew this was the case, but we felt it was very expensive when you've paid alot for your room already. The window in our bathroom was super drafty and made the bathroom very cold. The basin and shower both flooded with water when used, as they need to be cleaned out / un blocked. Breakfast wasn't great. The selection was good, but the quality of the cooked breakfast & pastrys need improvement. I had asked for some fresh hash browns as the ones at the buffet were rock hard and chewy- they were replaced with raw undercooked hash browns which were inedible. Shame. The hairdryer In our room had such little power, it took a very very long time to dry my hair 😂 The spa needs a bit of attention. The outdoor hot tub would have been lovely to use as the sunshine came out for us today, but it was green and quite smelly. Just in general the spa could do with a bit of TLC.
The staff were friendly at check in / check out. We had to pay an extra £20 for an upgrade to be able to check in early- but we were very grateful for this as we needed to get ready for a wedding after a 4 hour car journey. We were also allowed an hour extra before checking out as we needed access to the fridge in our room. This was very much appreciated. The room was big and clean and had a comfortable bed. We enjoyed the fresh warm cookies on arrival, and had a peaceful night's sleep in a nice quiet room.
