Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The shower curtain sticking to my back and waiting for the water to heat up in the shower. ‘The cottage ‘ was a bit of a euphemism.
Full of character. The staff were delightful and the main property was charming.

Being told I arrived 2 minutes before check in was not a nice welcome. No response from Hotel after messaging questions over the wend. I was told it was the managers days off... Felt like an inconvenience to restaurant staff when i turned up for dinner without a booking. I was staying for 5 nights and not informed bookings were essential. I was advised Breakfast window was between 730 and 845. This didn't suit me even though breakfast was included. No other options were given so breakfast was missed on 2 occasions.
Location was great and rooms were comfortable.

For the price charged, the bedrooms were a bit underwhelming. Decor was dated and lack of amenities you would expect at a premium hotel (e.g. robes, premium toiletries, quality furniture and decor)
Lovely restaurant and friendly staff. Food in restaurant was excellent.Lounge area with fire also very nice.

Please hire a gardener and attend to your garden it would elevate your property to exeptional Was a bit disappointed by the seafood linguine we offered which were too cooked The pate was excellent and the tartare ok needed a little bit more seasoning but that’s personal. Great touch to have had the chef served us and Michael gave us exceptional service at Ethos for our dinner .

The bathroom is very small, but newly renovated in a stylish fashion.
A wonderful hotel with a stylish and homely country vibe, comfortable, with an excellent cooked breakfast included in the restaurant style dining room. Lovely view from the dining room and lounge area over the garden and golf course across the road. We enjoyed drinks in the lounge in comfortable couches in front of a large open fire tended by the friendly barman who served us from where we sat. We stayed in a small double room, probably a standard size, but the large windows let in lots of light and created a sense of space. A short drive into the CBD.
