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 KingdomOur breakfast on the Sunday morning never turned up despite my partner heading to reception and saying it hadn’t arrived. We were told to head back up to the room and that it would be with us shortly - it never turned up. We went to the airport starving. Also breakfast from the Saturday morning was collected but then placed on a table outside our room and left there all day & evening and wasn’t removed until the Sunday morning. The smell of the cooked breakfast plates wasn’t pleasant when we arrived back to our room at 2am from the wedding.
The views from the room was lovely. Our room was cosy & clean other than some stains around bottom of the toilet which was a bit yucky.

United KingdomService in the hotel restaurant was slow (but we weren't in a hurry) and the bill wasn't correct. However, they apologised and it was amended without a fuss or question.
The breakfast was superb. Really enjoyed it and the staff were exceptionally helpful. No problem asking for oat milk and generous when I asked if I could take some redbush tea for my room. We also enjoyed 1 night at the, more chilled Brasserie.

United KingdomThe swimming pool area in the country club could do with more furniture around it as when it was busy there was not really anywhere to sit or place towels.
The room was clean, spacious, warm and the bed was very comfortable and there was enough plug sockets and close enough to the bed for charging mobile phones. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space and all the amenities and utilities required.

United KingdomWe had a deluxe room,. which was very nice, but our mattress was far too soft, for our liking. For the price of the room they could do with updating them. The prices for the drinks were very expensive too.
Beautiful setting staff very friendly. The spa was ok but unfortunately it only had a pool and a jacuzzi, we were hoping for a Steam room and Sauna. I should have done my research more.

United KingdomNot a bad thing at all, but if you’re placed on the second floor and are staying for a few nights or have a few bags of luggage, be prepared for the walk! Although a very friendly concierge service is available. Breakfast although great, we reached an extremely busy morning and staff forgot about our tea and coffee. But despite this, couldn’t fault it at all.
The hotel was amazing, upon arrival we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of space to park the car and facilities on offer at the hotel such as swimming pool, spa and sports like tennis and golf. The room was stunning, we had everything we could need including coffee making machine, kettle and a TV. Bathroom was clean and included Molton Brown washing products. The outside walks and views are something else, the hotel grounds provide a nice place to sit for a drink in the evening or coffee in the morning. Breakfast was included in our price and worth the money.
