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 KingdomOur bathroom was a bit grubby. And the decor was dated with a few out door maintenance issues. But to be fair there were not too many staff and the ones we saw were running around doing loads so maybe staffing is a bit low.
It's an absolutely beautiful setting and the main house looks lovely, very impressive. The out door space is lovely too. All the staff were polite and helpful.

United KingdomStaff were friendly and warm on reception, however the staff behind the bar seem to lack urgency. Staff for breakfast were quite rude and unwelcoming. The room we stayed in at the school house was a little tired could do with some upgrading - we could hear the heating all night long which was irritating.
Location was stunning, the main house is beautiful. The room was comfortable and clean.

United KingdomI was put on this occasion, in a annex to the hotel which seemed to be full of guests from a wedding going on, and whilst to a degree it is out of the hotels control putting a single traveller who wanted a quiet nights rest in the same space was not a good idea. The noise was dreadful when I checked in (I probably should have complained at this point but I was very tired) and again from about midnight to the early hours. This was a big negative for me. Booked a room with a bath as needed to soak and was only given a shower - small niggle.
I actually stayed at this hotel unintentionally for two nights (this being the second) and the first night booking was decent 8/10 leading me to book again. This room again was a good size and the breakfast (as much as buffet style full english can be) was decent. The restaurant was also good and the staff efficient and friendly. It's still a great hotel despite my negative comments but alas I'd not stay again on a friday night / any time there was an event going on.

United KingdomBreakfast was self-service, staff on entry did not explain procedure. We sat down initially exception service for tea or coffee, then obtain own choice of buffet selection, which is normal. Didn't realise the whole process was help yourself. Could have been made clearer. Food although ok didn't live up to the standard of other recent experiences with Mercure Bradford or Nottingham. Watch out for the noisy crows in the rookery! All part of the experience.
Free parking, lovely location, well maintained public areas. Spa facilities, use of garden for evening drinks. Friendly reception staff. Super large bedroom and bathroom.
