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 KingdomPool dirty, tiles grubby and concrete from the floor in the pool. The hotel was in need of decorating everywhere, bathroom door did not close properly. There was no soap in our room. We had drinks in the bar area at 2pm when we arrived. At 10pm the glasses and teapot were still on the table we had Sat at! My dinner arrived with half the items missing off the plate. We did eventually get the the other items but would have been nice to get my meal all at once as described
Good location

United KingdomBed was small when used to a king sized bed! Found it hard to get comfy. (our issue, not the hotels!) Bags of used linen left at the foot of the stairs. Still there the following day and we felt it should be kept out of sight. Walking area around the pool was extremely slippery. Just a bit tired and dated once you had got past the reception.
Lovely large pool. A bit on the cool side but we soon got used to it. Good changing facilities and towels and lockers provided. Good central location Friendly staff. Lovely pond and garden area.

United KingdomThe cleanliness of the whole hotel really let's it down. It has the potential to be an amazing hotel and an excellent venue for weddings. But the cleanliness is terrible especially around the pool and sauna area where the floor was filthy, covered in grass and mud. And the sides of the pool were black around the steps. The bedrooms really need updating too. It was like sleeping in your Grannys bedroom!
The staff were really friendly. The location is great. The grounds are beautiful and there is a beautiful pond just before reception. Around the back is an outside pool and seating area which is lovely.

United KingdomThe pool is a great size but it seems like the wrong tiles or grout has been used? It makes your feet muddy if you walk round with no sliders. Why on earth would it not be swept daily there was piles of it around the edges. Also the showers in the changing rooms are tired and the door doesn’t fit properly so people can see in! We kept our towels and changed in our room. Our room was lovely and clean apart from cobwebs all around the ceiling and window? Not sure why these haven’t been hoovered up.
We loved having the pool facilities, the hotel was a nice mixture of new and older decor, the grounds are pretty.
