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...).

What a lovely couple Steve and Lynn are, very welcoming on arrival. Lovely clean, spacious room, bed very comfy. Slept like a log. Morning staff very friendly, service was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. Lots of choice at breakfast. From fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt, and, of course, a full English or a lighter choice of poached eggs on toast. All cooked fresh. On-site parking was brilliant.

United KingdomAll good !
The Sherwood was a great find, and a very comfortable stay. The parking is free, but when you book reserve a space there was plenty of room. We had a warm welcome and a very comfortable warm room. The breakfast was freshly cooked to order with cereals, fresh fruit, orange juice followed by a full English and toast. The service at breakfast was perfect, and friendly. A great choice for a stay in Blackpool the location was spot on close to the tower and central pier - a short walk !

United KingdomI have stayed in hotels before in Blackpool and not been very impressed I booked the Sherwood for myself and two family members after reading reviews I have to say we were more than impressed I shared a family room with my nephew it was spacious spotlessly clean with a great size bathroom. The breakfast again was very impressive plenty of choice of cereals fresh fruits and a full English breakfast with plenty of toast and drinks. I would definitely recommend the Sherwood hotel and if ever I decided to return to Blackpool I would definitely stay here again. Thanks very much to Steve and Lynn for making our stay very pleasant and enjoyable. Everything was perfect from the minute we pulled onto the drive Steve came out to greet us and we were given our room's straight away even though check in wasn't until 15.00

United KingdomScratching my head - my only recommendation would be a later check out and breakfast served for a little longer on Sunday morning. But that is being uber critical as this didn't affect me. Breakfast was served on a Sunday between 8.30 - 9.30am and checkout was 10.30am. People go to Blackpool for a party. This is quite early for a Sunday morning.
Lovely find. Family run. Very friendly and a very good breakfast. The staff were attentive. Will not hesitate to return.
