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 KingdomWe dined in the restaurant that evening and had breakfasts - although both were ok, for the prices paid they felt underwhelming and basic - lacked flavour - not much choice for dinner
Room and location really cool - great links to the airfield - food wasn’t great for the price

United KingdomThe dining room area needed a little decorating in places.
We booked this hotel as it is 'art deco' which indeed it is throughout the building. It also had extra interest being adjacent to a small airfield with occasional flights from a WWII Spitfire and Mustang based there. Friendly staff and a comfortable room.

United KingdomWe loved our stay here , we regularly visit hotels for a getaway, the atmosphere in the hotel was lovely relaxed and friendly, The bar was busy when we got back from our evening out but felt welcoming. One of the best bits for me was that breakfast was served up until 10 am. It meant we got a lay in instead of having to get up and rush around. We came down at 9.40am and they filled the empty mushroom and egg trays. The coffee was really nice , lovely staff, and check out at 11am. we didn't feel rushed at all. We will definitely return

United KingdomProperty is a bit ‘tired’. Rooms require refurb. Sockets on one side of room only; tiny tv on side wall only, not convenient to charge phones, cracked sink, very creaky floor.
Handy for the airfield. Art deco themed! Great breakfast. Nice staff. Plenty of parking. Nice outside area. Large bedrooms.

United KingdomMy arrival in restaurant was ok, but waiting for my drinks to arrive took a long time. Due to lack of staff. I ordered a starter of Prawns & a chilli sauce. After quite a wait a plate arrived of prawns with a tartare sauce. Trying to attract a member of staff took a while. Waitress apologised & went to the kitchen. On returning she said “ there is no chilli sauce, they’ve run out & not told us!!!” Although only a minor niggle, waiting staff should be made aware.
Location was ideal for me to visit a friend in local area . The lady on reception was extremely nice & friendly with a good attitude.

United KingdomWe used it as a base for Silverstone British GP, staff were great restaurant and bar good service. Hotel had organised an earlier start for breakfast on the Sunday, enabling those going to grand prix to have breakfast before heading to GP. Will definitely book again for next year. Hotel had a nice feeling as formerly art deco main building for aerodrome.
