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 KingdomLiterally the only issue was that the cold water wasn’t very cold and the deluxe room was 2 single beds pushed together.
The staff were absolutely exceptional - from the ladies on the front desk to the chefs in the kitchen. Absolutely impeccable service and so friendly.

SpainWe had booked 2 nights there, but the room we booked wasn't ready for us when we arrived. To have a room with a bathtub as we had booked, we had to have a room that was made up as a double then pull the beds apart which left us with bedding only for 1. Reception didn't know where there were any spare duvets or blankets, so the first night I slept without any covers or sheets, just on top of the mattress topper which had yellow stains on.🤦🏻♀️ Next morning they brought bedding and made the beds. Room wasn't properly clean on arrival. Dusty surfaces and dusty/streaky mirror. Damp black marks around the window frame, mostly along the bottom, (which you could wipe even with finger). No food at all (not even snacks) available Sunday after 5pm. We had been for a long drive and had to wanted to eat something in the hotel that evening. (Not sure what time food stops on other nights, so best check). When you drive up to the hotel, the entrance is lovely but doesn't look like the picture in their advert because that picture is of the back of the hotel. At the front, the main part entrance looks lovely but the modern looking extension to the right of it spoils it and looks like a "basic motel". Try not to get a room that is ground floor at the front in the modern extension, because when you look out of the window you just see parked cars that are parked right up to your window. No lift. No "salon/lounge, as it only has a small bar with a quite small conservatory to relax in.
Location was absolutely ideal for us. Room (first floor to the left of entrance) was spacious and with view of trees and driveway. Hot tub was lovely (although the jets aren't at all strong enough).

United KingdomOn arrival, we weren't offered an explanation of what was on offer at the hotel and about the grounds as it would have been nice to have been informed about the gym and location of it. Or where in the grounds you could walk and enjoy what it had to offer. Having not stayed before, I was not aware. Had booked 2 rooms, and they had placed us on separate floors. On going to our room, there was dirt along the stairs and carpets that required hoovering. The hoover was on the second floor, just left out unplugged. Going into the bar area, most tables required clearing up, and it wasn't until 3 hours of us being there that this happened. The bar itself was full of dirty glasses and again wasn't cleared until much later on that evening. When wanting a drink, we had to buzz for attention, and it took a while for someone to come. This was the same for both nights we stayed and other guests were as surprised as myself in this situation. Clearly, a staff shortage or the hotel is trying to cut back costs.
The staff at the front desk were lovely and pleasant. They helped to complete an easy booking in and out process. The room was basic but had what you needed, and we had maid service refresh the room for our 2nd night. Food on offer was good and presented lovely, the club sandwich was good value for money. In the morning there was a good choice for breakfast, on the Sunday it was buffet style and the Monday our cooked breakfast was made to order.
