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.).

It’s a lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. The staff were courteous and professional and the food was first class. It doesn’t come cheap but we had a wonderful two days and hopefully we can return at some time to enjoy it again

United KingdomThat we had left it for more than 30 years between visits. Such a shame!
The grand view of Gidleigh is that it is exceptional in every way, but it is the small things that really make the difference - the thermos jug of chilled water, the juiciest oranges and the most delicious dates in our room, all with a fine plate, knife and linen napkin. The meal of course far exceeded our expectations, every morsel was a sheer delight! My beef was the countryside on a plate and my wife's venison was autumn on a plate. We were completely blown away. Finally, the level of service was the epitome of what could be expected in a country hotel - there when you needed it, helpful and friendly but not obsequious. Staying at Gidleigh is like coming home to your dream home

United KingdomEverything! The grounds were lovely the hotel well kept and the atmosphere was instantly welcoming and relaxing. The outlaws thoroughly approved which was a gold star for me and my 7 year old daughter was made to feel so welcome. The level of service was the best we have experienced even higher than previous stays at the savoy and lanesborough in London which we didn’t think could be beaten! Food was delicious room comfortable we genuinely found it impossible to criticise anything!

United Arab EmiratesThe only thing we would say and it is not a “didn’t like” but more a suggestion - a bit more variety on the menu rather than the same menu for all day and perhaps changing up the soup each day. But the food we had was lovely. The road in was a little bit hairy scary - the hedge rows were so high and a very narrow single lane road - practice your reversing skills before you go.
The peace and quiet. Proximity to good walks. Spacious surroundings inside the manor house. The grounds are beautiful and we loved walking through the vegetable and water garden and along the river running through. The breakfast was very good, lots of choice. The home made biscuits were delicious with our tea. Nothing was too much trouble. We didn’t get a chance to play tennis but managed a game of golf on the mini 18 hole putting course. The staff were amazing. We had the most beautiful room overlooking the river and tennis court with a private balcony - loved it. The bathroom was amazing best wet room we have seen. It’s all the little things that Gidleigh Park have thought of that make this such a special place to stay.

United KingdomThe lane to the hotel was dreadful with large potholes and floods, you needed a big 4x4 to traverse it, which we didn’t have. Breakfast order wasn’t correct, but it was remedied though the eggs weren’t fully cooked.
The public areas and bedroom with the view over the garden were lovely. Even though it rained perpetually we still enjoyed our stay.
