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.).

All the staff were very friendly, polite & helpful. The breakfast was very tasty & the waiting staff were very attentive. Our room was comfortable, clean & bright. Communal areas were well decorated & clean. Lovely bright reception area with comfortable seating. It's such a shame this hotel is closing, along with the golf course. We would definitely have returned as it's so well situated for the New Forest, Bournemouth, Poole & surrounding area.

United KingdomWe had an accessible room (not sure why). It was very noisy with a heater and some whirring. The beds (twin) were narrow. Not the best night’s sleep. Breakfast seemed a little disorganised. Other people also appeared confused.
The pool and spa. The public areas are lovely. The staff are fabulous. Our room had direct access. Spacious car park. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. It was quiet so we had the pool to ourselves for a while.

United KingdomNo ramp to the front door - only stairs Struggled with stairs and dragging my case - arrival and departure Chair in my room but being disabled a really comfy chair would have helped as I spend a lot of time in a chair
As I am disabled, staff arranged for me to get a room with a disabled bathroom. Great service. Breakfast hot and tasty - ordered rather than buffet advertised.

United KingdomI booked this hotel as we had a funeral to attend in the local area. Due to some last minute changes, my husband and son attended the funeral and the hotel kindly changed the booking from a double to twin room. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating throughout their stay and the hotel ideal. Room was warm, perfectly clean and comfortable. The spa looked lovely and the lounge bar was perfect for few pints and watching the footy. Highly recommend.

United KingdomWe ordered food to our room. Although the prices were adequate, we didn't really like the food. Also, in the room there is.not really anywhere to sit and eat so we eat from our laps on the sofa. There's enough room for a small dining table in the room. Despite this I want to make it clear that it did not take away from how much we enjoyed our stay
Great room. Very spacious and comfortable. Very friendly staff. Although we didn't use them, there were great facilities.

United KingdomHad to move room twice. Booked superior room, but after unpacking lightening caused power to go. So we were moved to standard room in hotel. Again, unpacked and settled in to discover as went to dinner that the door lock was faulty! Ashley, the receptionist, moved all our things very efficiently to another room.
Swimming pool and food good. Staff, especially Ashley in reception and Mick, the manager, were very helpful in putting right things that went wrong and the manager gave us a compensatory discount when we checked out.
