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 KingdomSometimes you had to ring for service but all the staff seemed to be working really hard so not blaming them! They should hire a few more to make it more manageable for them!
Nice hotel, good food and helpful (if busy!) staff at a good value price considering what was on offer. Relaxing position surrounded by trees.

United KingdomFood order app for room service does not always working.
A restful and rural setting; lots of nature and wildlife all around, which was a pleasant suprise. An oasis, in the centre of town, so much lush greenery. The hotel is perfectly located next to Southcrest Woods. So peaceful in the grounds in the morning with a coffee. Staff are very warm and helpful and food good. Thank you.

United KingdomVery small details; the tea/coffee machine in the breakfast room isn't good, it doesn't heat the water to the right temperature. We ask for a plunger coffee and pot of tea in the mornings which the hotel will happily do. The iron in our room leaked, while plugged in, water was all over the ironing board in two minutes. The hotel were happy to change it but do keep an eye on these appliances. There was no light by the wardrobe, which is in a dark space in the room. The Afternoon Tea, which we have had several times as a takeaway, had no actual tea with it, and one salmon blini was missing. Instead of butter there seemed to be a margarine spread in the sandwiches. We hoped to book a small post-wedding event, using the Auxerre suite as we have mobility impaired guests and there's no lift to the Terry Suite, for four hours on a weekday afternoon in September but unfortunately the hotel's wedding planner wasn't free to talk to us, and didn't request our details to discuss it. We found a nearby alternative.
We stay here a lot and the staff, room and breakfast are all great. We ordered a takeaway Afternoon Tea, which we have had a few times, and the cakes and scones are always very good.
