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 KingdomHad the four posted bed room, which was awful. Was a fake four poster bed, just the outa frame with a divan bed inside the frame. Which means it wasn't solid, so every time you move / turn over in the night it was noisy. We did not sleep very well due to the noise.
The building, grounds and staff were great.

United KingdomThe fact that there is no children's play area, I appreciate there is a lovely swimming pool but would not spend a whole day in it.there is plenty of outdoor space for a play area.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were very spacious and clean.

United KingdomThe corridors that link the sections of the hotel. I’m good at directions and knowing my bearings though other family members often got confused as to where the room was. And my only negative experience was on our last evening when we ate at the lounge bar. (We’d eaten there previously). We ordered a pie, chicken burger and a pizza. It took over an hour to arrive. The restaurant wasn’t busy and the previous night the same food order had only taken 20 mins. It was a little frustrating as we’d mentioned beforehand we were pushed for time. We would have preferred transparency about the food being delayed so we could have made a chose as to where to eat. Instead we received a nicely cooked pie, dry chicken burger and a pizza which appeared to have been reheated.
Very attractive building. Felt that it had recently been renovated. Rooms were a good size and felt warm and welcoming. There were several options for places to eat at the hotel and with many facilities to use like the pool

United KingdomDue to the age of the building, a lot of the flooring is creaky in the main building and we could hear people in the room above.
We had a few issues with our first room, but reception staff were quick to rectify the issue and provided us with a complimentary upgrade. Our upgraded room was lovely with a stunning view of the golf course. The reception and cleaning staff were lovely and very helpful. The hotel location is only a short drive from the city centre and there is ample parking on site. Breakfast was exceptional and dinner at the on site restaurant was lovely. The swimming pool was a good size and is open to hotel guests.

United KingdomThis is a very well run hotel. I was very impressed, good numbers of staff. Breakfast was very slick. I imagine it would be busier if there was a wedding or two overnighting. All staff very pleasant and helpful. Liked the two double beds. Better than a camp bed for not so small child.

United KingdomThe room furniture could do with updating and the bathrooms need a little tlc . The bar in the evening was very busy as you can order food as well, it is confusing where to stand to order at the bar if your in the wrong place your just told you can't order at that end of the bar then you have to queue up again at the other end. Simple signage would help. The food took over an hour to come
This was my second time at Dunston hall it is a lovely building with lots of character. I like the facilities.The gym is well equipped, nice pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The beds where comfortable, the bathroom had a good shower. Although I don't play golf it looked inviting, if the weather was better I would have enquired about a beginners trial. The staff on reception where polite and helpful . Breakfast is great lots to choose from the buffet hot and cold and all delicious.

United KingdomJust a very minor point that personally, I found the bed a little uncomfortable, perhaps because it was a bit dated. Annoyingly though, the wife slept like a log !!!
Great location and peaceful/ picturesque surroundings. Shocked to get a complimentary room upgrade to a suite, looking out across the 18th green. Staff were all very helpful and attentive, despite the hotel being pretty busy. Big thanks to the late night reception team and restaurant staff - who made us all feel very welcome.

United KingdomOur room didn't have a reasonable view - we were looking at air conditioning units on rooftops which was a shame when we were in such lovely grounds. This fact was not mentioned at the time of booking. Perhaps it should be added on to room details as to what the view from the room is of! It was noisy with other room noises and corridor noise. Didn't find the hotel particularly comfortable for lounge areas and general ambience.it was quite a limited menu for evening meals and breakfast although a good choice was not the best quality we've had.
Pool area was nice. Bed was comfortable and big. Bathroom toiletries were of good quality.

United KingdomOnly 2 things let this down slightly for me. 1. The 'Tea Snug' you can only go in there for tea if you have a full afternoon tea. I didnt - I just wanted to sit somewhere comfy and have coffee, but you can't unless you reserve and have the full works. I noted that this beautiful room was nearly always empty. Such a shame. 2. In the suite I stayed in, whilst luxurious, it had a really strange window! it started at the floor and only went up to my elbows, so when you stood up you couldnt see out. Very odd. I think I was in Ash Suite (room 111 I think)
The building was stunning - well the old part I stayed in anyway. (I didn't see any of he rooms that were not in the Manor House). The food was fantastic as were the treatment rooms and swimming pool. The room was quiet and luxurious. I think I stayed in Ash Suite. The Garden Room is beautiful too - its a room where you can sit and have a snack or a meal near the indoor bar. The restaurant, whilst fairly modern inside, had lovely views if you were near the windows.
