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 KingdomIt's an old building and some of the facilities are also quite worn, but still comfortable and usable. The price was still very good taking this into account. We had a little trouble with the radiators in the room being permanently on, which made it very warm especially at night and it is only April - hopefully this will be sorted before the summer guests arrived. These things do happen in older buildings, so just something to be aware of when booking.
Stunning building with a great size, comfortable room. The staff were super friendly and helpful. This was our first holiday with our baby and they made us feel very welcome. The grounds are lovely for walking in and there are lots of places to visit nearby. The food in the restaurant is delicious. I also had a great massage in the on site beauty salon.

United KingdomRooms could do with a freshen up and some attention to detail. Light bulb missing, rug a little tread bare.. But for the price can't complain.
The location was amazing and the grounds were beautiful. The reception staff were very welcoming and friendly. The room although a bit dated was clean and great value for money. Would stay again without a doubt.

United KingdomLarge bathroom but no heating , heated towel rail not working. Very little space around the sink to put toiletries etc. No curtains or screen for shower so water spilled out onto the tiles and the floor tiles stayed wet during our two day stay.
Warm, spacious room, big comfortable bed, lots of drawer space. Iron and ironing board very useful. Lovely quiet surroundings,overlooking a large pond. Plenty of parking space.

United KingdomUnfortunately the Afternoon tea was not good this time. We booked because last time we stayed it was excellent. The bread was not fresh, the cakes were ordinary, shop bought and not homemade. (we took them to feed the squirrels) The scones were good. We were not offered more tea and the waiter didn't check on us even once. Prices were up since last month. I showed the bar manager the photos of the food we took last time and he was the difference. He refunded us £12 although we didn't ask. Different chef apparently. We won't be having tea there again!
We asked for the same room we stayed in last time and they allocated it to us. So we were very comfortable and had a lovely stay.

United KingdomRoom cleanliness wasn't great and as there were a few of us staying at various locations in the hotel, this was a recurring theme as all of us commented on differing levels of cleanliness. The outside lighting is awful for when it's dark, we had to use torches on our phones to see where we were going, more lighting is needed, especially for safety when wallking from the main building to the suites at the very end of the road.
Particular thanks to Lachlan and Dawn who were exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond. Catering for my daughter with Coeliac with some of the other members of staff wasn't the best, however, Dawn made sure she had a freshly prepared meal. We stayed in a Summer House room which was right next to the hotel. Breakfast was also excellent.
