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 KingdomThe decor is 'patchy' some lovely design but in places a little unloved and lacking cohesion. We were woke by a noise but the team were lovely and came straight up to help us. The breakfast menu didn't have clear pricing and was expensive for quite standard fare.
Loved the spa! Lovely room and some amazing features in the building. Staff were lovely and friendly. Evening food was delicious.

United KingdomThe food. My partner’s Cauliflower starter seemed like it was made with stale vegetable.
The room was great, we were able to control the heat. The bed was comfortable and the shore was great.

United KingdomWe took a dog but couldn't then use the inside route through the hotel (as the dog couldn't walk through the spa - that's fine I guess) but then we couldn't lock the patio doors with the room key from the outside so a bit awkward. We also didn't have a mat or anything so mud was trapsed through, I had to use my own towel I'd brought to dry the dog with as an entry mat. Also the owners allowed their dog in the restaurant but no one else is... Probably a booking.com error but we weren't informed about the £50 dog cleaning fee, the booking also said spa access was £15pp per night but at the hotel it was £50 pp per night, so because of the cleaning fee added on our spa break no longer involved the spa. In terms of cleanliness it could do with a little more attention to detail, it was fine but not top standard e.g. around the bath plugs needed a clean with a toothbrush. We had a terrace with our room but only way too long heavy curtains so if we wanted any privacy we had to be in darkness as people could walk across the top and peer in. Some blinds wouldn't go amiss! On-site dinner was fine only one option per night in the restaurant so as a vegetarian I had an entire roasted brocolli one night. It was nice if you wanna eat a whole brocolli and nothing else! No phone in the room which I found weird as there is zero phone signal... So not massively negative but could be improved in a few areas. It was nice for the price paid.
Lovely staff that were super accommodating. Great location with dog friendly pubs a short walk away. Good breakfast with plenty of choice.

United KingdomWe were so upset that we didn't enjoy our dining experience like we hoped as we loved everything else about the hotel so much. The food was great to be honest but the overall atmosphere was awful. I would have hoped as it wasn't too busy in the restaurant that there would have been some music (or the staff would have picked up on the dead atmosphere and put some music on and lit some candles on the tables!!). I do think it let down our stay as we were away for valentines, were excited to dress up and have a lovely meal but there were big bright lights on in the restaurant so no nice ambient lighting, no music, a few other people we spoke to agreed the dining let down the hotel as it was a bit like a canteen. if you're going to have beautiful rooms and a beautiful spa you need to work on a lovely restaurant atmosphere. dimmer lighting, some candles on the tables and soft music in the background would have made it 10x nicer. if we came back we would probably just order room service and make the most of the lovely rooms as it didn't seem worth getting ready to go down for dinner when the restaurant was like that :(
Our room was absolute perfection and the spa was gorgeous! Super clean and beautiful. The staff were lovely and couldn't have gone our their way more to make the stay as nice as possible. The guy on reception showed us to our beautiful room (the south wing) which was honestly everything I could have dreamed of in a room. it was HUGE!! 4 Poster bed, gorgeous free standing bath, views over the garden and his and hers bathroom! It really is the most perfect room for a romantic getaway. The spa is also so lovely and relaxing. Small but just what you need for a little staycation and id absolutely come back!

We’ve visited before. It was a shame that the spa wasn’t included in the price. I was also disappointed after speaking with reception and booking a table for dinner, that only one menu was being used. I had been informed that we could choose either menu. Otherwise staff were lovely and attentive.

United KingdomWasn’t keen on the menu, but I’m a fussy eater and it was all a bit too much for me. A lot of fish. So we went up to the pub up the road.
Beautiful hotel, the staff were all ever so friendly. I loved that they showed us to our room annd anround it, offered fresh milk for our teas in the room. It’s the little touches that make the stay much more pleasant. Most hotels give you the key and point you in the rough direction of the room.

Staff went the extra mile to try and cover it, but uphill battle for them .
