Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNo bar, although I think there once was one, maybe not enough guests. Didn't have breakfast. Decor very tired in places, but staff were very friendly.
Very old fashioned hotel, but that is what made it quaint. Huge room, very comfortable bed. Nice bed linen and pillows. Didn't eat at the hotel.

The room was really good, furnished with period furniture and looking out over the lawns. The hotel itself has clearly seen better days and smelt quite dusty. The receptionist was very friendly.

United KingdomThere was a problem with our bathroom for which the staff was apologetic..
We booked this hotel as it was near to where my daughter lives, but seeing rabbits in the grounds at breakfast was a bonus. The breakfast was well cooked and good value for money. We had an evening meal on the first night which was excellent.

United KingdomThe hotel is suffering from a lack of updating; faded glory comes to mind. Sadly we were woken up late at night by loud banging and laughing and shouting from the occupants immediately above our room. We were in room 31 in the Coach House.
We had an evening meal (vegan) which was ample and tasty. Breakfast was ample too and my vegan husband was catered for. Thank you. The room was clean and bathroom very clean.

United KingdomNo fault of the hotel but the noise from the motroway was continuous. Maybe some double glazing.
Breakfast was good value and plentiful. Dinner menu was very good (apart from 1 starter). The staff were extremely kind and understanding as we had come to visit my dying Father locally who passed away the day we checked in. They allowed my siblings to come and find somewhere to reflect a few hours after.
