Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomMy only minor observation, which is something I've encountered in many hotels, was the cleanliness of the bathroom door on the inside. It appears to be a common oversight where the door's inner surface, perhaps hidden when the cleaner is working in the bathroom, doesn't always receive the same attention as the rest of the space. While a small detail, it's something that, if addressed, would truly elevate the already high standards of cleanliness.
A Delightful Stay at The Rufford Arms Hotel Restaurant My recent 4-night stay at The Rufford Arms Hotel Restaurant was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. I truly had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this charming establishment. What truly sets The Rufford Arms apart is its incredible team. Every member of staff I encountered was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Their warm welcome and attentive service made me feel right at home. And then there's the food! The cuisine served at the restaurant was truly excellent. Each meal was a delightful experience, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and expertly prepared dishes. It's clear that a lot of care and passion goes into every plate. Overall, my experience at The Rufford Arms Hotel Restaurant was nothing short of fantastic. If you're looking for a place with wonderful staff and outstanding food, this is definitely the spot!

United KingdomThe bedroom was a good size but with tired furniture. The bathroom needs upgrading, shower curtain rather than glass panel and poor pressure from the shower.
The restaurant and bar area is light and airy and tables are well spaced. The menu choice is incredible and the food excellent. Well presented and extremely tasty. 😋

United KingdomShower got very hot and although we tried all sorts of combinations we couldn’t get it to cool down. The continental breakfast was a bit thin, didn’t have any croissants or pastries, no meats or cheeses.
Staff were very pleasant and helpful, cooked breakfast was freshly done to taste. Rooms were comfortable and restaurant food was good.

United KingdomThought the breakfast was a little over priced as I only wanted poached eggs on toast, and it’s classed a a full breakfast..
Very clean and tidy… very helpful staff. Also ate evening meal which was very good and priced well for a two course. The canal being close , made for a nice evening stroll after dinner.

United KingdomPillows, could do with feathers instead of the foamy type filling… blanket would be useful, as I was a little cold. Shower was awful. Water was only warm, and water pressure was low… but I do understand this can be a problem in some areas. I was disappointed with the apparent change of price. It was originally advertised at £101, and then whilst I was booking it, not 1 min later, it had gone up to £110.
Staff and room, excellent… food was absolutely superb..
