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 KingdomUnfortunately the hairdryer was very weak. The shower was also either burning hot or freezing cold - no in between! The walls were very thin, so it was easy to hear what was going on in the next door rooms and outside the door.
Breakfast was delicious. Amazingly cooked. Staff could not do enough to help! I felt very safe as a lone female staying by myself. Check in was really easy. The room was very well equipped and the extra touches, such as tea, coffee, water were lovely. If the weather had been better, I definitely would have gone to explore the beautiful grounds.

United KingdomI didn't stay in the main house. The outbuildings are less grand but still lovely, and just a short walk away. Nice room, but the dreaded 2 twin beds made up as one, so you fell the ridge in the middle. WiFi was weak, so any TV channels other than BBC 1 or 2 were unwatchable because it was buffering. Food. Starter was grilled squid with mango dressing. The squid was warm, and the dressing was cold, so it felt strange. The dressing was chunks of mango with chillies in a delicious sauce (more than a dressing?) My medium rare steak was slightly tough, not as tender as I would have liked, and because it was fatter in the middle, it was only just cooked rare. Luckily, I don't mind it rare. Lots of gristle left at the end.
Beautiful place. Manor house and gardens are grand. Quiet location. Generous sized room. Great bathroom with bath and shower. Decent heated towel rail and extract fan. Complimentary water in the room

United KingdomFood was disappointing. There was a function on so we ate in the bar, food wasn't as described. Breakfast in the morning was buffet style, so was lukewarm at best.
The staff were exceptional - friendly and helpful. Happy to accommodate requests. Responded to emails prior to booking - great welcome on arrival and really friendly from front desk to bar staff - chatty, friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomIn our opinion, it felt very corporate and didn’t feel relaxed. Our room was not in the main building and a fair walk away. But these are just a preferences for us, other than that, was still a pleasurable experience
The hotel is beautiful to look at from outside and especially lit up, the staff were helpful and friendly and our room wasn’t too bad and did what we needed it for before our flight out the next day.

United KingdomGenerally very happy with the property. Could do with a swimming pool and additional spa facilities etc. I don’t think the potential is being maximised but very good all the same and I enjoyed it very much. Breakfast was not very cheap and a little limited.
Wonderful location , relaxed environment, comfortable bar. Quiet bedrooms. Close to some lovely towns and in the middle of some beautiful countryside.
