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 KingdomWe’d booked a spa day for the Saturday and the pool was full of screaming children all day. Not very relaxing when we’d purposefully gone away to get away from ours 🤣 (children pool hours are 10-5) Our Room was opposite the back of the stags pub about 50 metres away and so heard lots of fighting/screaming/shouting around 1am which woke us on our second night. £20 per night parking charge is very steep and should be included in the room rate with it being the most expensive hotel in the area.
Clean and tidy, great location for all amenities, good facilities and staff couldn’t do enough they were very friendly. Breakfast was delicious!

United KingdomThat you couldn’t use debit card to charge for extras on room. Our room had tea stain down the walls and over skirting and definitely not cleaned up in a while.Dining staff weren’t up to much, waited 40 mins first night for dinner, only for them to come back 30 mins later and asked us what we ordered and still forgot to bring us our starters , there were only 6 tables in for dinner at this point and all tables of 2.breakfast wasn’t much better, waited 20 mins for scrambled egg and by this time we had drunk our tea and eaten toast, the next few mornings were the same, the fact that your a 4* hotel leave me wondering why, we have stayed here a few time and this time place was a let down in all ways, even the £20 per night for parking on top of everything else was a bit much.
That it was close to all shopping even the next villages weren’t to far, plenty to do and see and lots of good eating places out and about

United KingdomThere were no toiletries in the room except some shower gel which was lovely but I would expect in a four-star hotel at the Price we paid body lotion, shampoo and conditioner. The room and decor was a little tired and needs a refurbishment. There was absolutely no atmosphere in the bar or the restaurant and it was my birthday so I was a little disappointed. Somebody ting on the piano would have been nice. On the Saturday afternoon there were lots of noisy children in the pool which really spoilt the spa ambience. In fact it wasn’t like a spa it was more like a kids play area. Or drinks would’ve been nice in the spa area also.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and so was dinner the ambience and the location was excellent. The spa was good, but the sauna was out of order.

United KingdomBar staff weren't always around, often saw people waiting 5 minutes or more for someone to appear, though to be fair it was out of season. But for a 4 star hotel, we sometimes had to wait for staff to appear, which is OK, but could have been better.
Location was superb. Hotel very comfortable,. Parking in disabled bay was a bit tight, and you can't reserve a space. Staff were very helpful
