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.).

AustraliaThe external aircon system was going on and off all night (I did not use aircon in my room).
Parking, friendly staff, apart from aircon noise, it was very quiet.

Australiait was sad t see the maintenance on the house falling down. eg the extra cleaning needed to make it 'shine" picture frames needed a close clean, the bathroom grouting was dirty. However I understand there are no servants to do this work these days, and the family is running on low labour numbers. The friendly welcome and the house itself made up for all of these minor observations. I will return whenever I am in Melbourne.
loved the idea fothe old manor and its furnishings. Great value for money.

The hotel is an older two story house pleasantly furnished with charming furniture corresponding to the era . Whilst some people may be frustrated with creaky floors and a lack of modernity I found no issues to complain about. For me the location was perfect and the staff at the front desk were very helpful

AustraliaThe garden is scruffy and while the price is reasonable, I'm prepared to overlook the garden and return because the price is affordable for us coming regularly from the country. The cupboard door on the closet is stiff and difficult to open and close.
The period style furnishings and decorations, the live flowers, the collection of books to browse, the easy parking, quiet and large room and the access to the dining room with real china, cutlery and microwave plus fridge in our room and tea and coffee facility. The bathroom was well appointed, a good size and clean. The welcoming, restful, shared lounge room with chesterfield couches gave the house a stately yet homely manner, befitting a manor house. The manager was friendly and helpful, ready to assist us with a charger and to choose the best room for our purposes.

United StatesBreakfast was ok but could use a bit more variety.
This was an elegant mansion converted into a B&B. We stayed in two different rooms in two separate stays. We particularly liked the upstairs room and in general the ambiance of the place. It was pretty cozy and had a comfortable bed and good shower pressure. With more time to relax, we could have spent evenings in the large common living room but our stay was pretty short. We hired a car, and off-street parking was a great plus as well.

AustraliaThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like
It was in a great location right across from a railway station with easy access to the city. Our room (room 6) was on the ground floor and was huge with lovely big windows. The bed was really comfy and, despite being on a busy road, we didn’t even hear the traffic. Oh, and there was plenty of off-street parking.
